This is just the beginning - people even time payments to try to raise their FICO score, and pay twice a month, and all sorts of other "techniques".

And for any non USA folks wondering, having a zero balance is NOT what is considered best. Having a 3-10% balance every month is optimal. Income or saving or net worth do NOT figure in.
