<prompt> Human: I was reading some posts a couple of days ago talking about paying credit cards in full every month which I do. Somebody mentioned that paying the full amount and not just the statement balance was not the greatest. Right now I pay the full amount of my CC regardless if some of the charges were after the statement ended. Im not sure if that makes sense, but any advice would be appreciated. Example:Statement runs from October 3-November 2. It is due on November 10th. October 3-November 2 -1,000November 3-November 10 - 300Ill pay the 1,300 instead of the 1,000 statement balance due.  <response>: Its probably not bad, but there is no reason to do it. You can just pay the 1000 in your example.
