If you pay the entire balance in full this shouldn't matter, but if you are making a partial payment and send it to them before they generate the bill, it won't be applied towards the upcoming payment that's due. If you assume it will, you can wind up being hit with a late payment fee. I always try to pay as soon as possible over the web, but I wait until the the website for the card claims I have a payment due on some upcoming date (usually 14-20 days after the statement closes). If it says no payment is due, then I either pay the balance in full, or remind myself that I'll need to make another payment in a week or two.

It's handy to know if you went out of control at one point and need to scale back. You can also make smaller payments so that when the bill is due it isn't so difficult.
