A credit card account will show as paid on your credit report approximately 2-5 days after the ending of your statement or billing cycle. This is not your bill due date, but rather the date your new statement is issued.
Credit card companies and other credit issuers have costs associated with reporting to the bureaus so they try to do this only once per month, to generally report whether you made your agreed-upon payment, how much you paid, and how much your new balance comes to.
