yea i also read that letting it go for a month or two is better for building credit, making those payments is what establishes it, keeping it at zero each month just takes longer to build that way.

This is wrong. You don't build credit (or much anyways) by taking out a loan (bank or credit card) and paying it off immediately. You build credit by making steady payments. The whole idea behind credit is that you can be trusted to make regular payments on whatever good/service they gave you. Someone gives you a credit line, they want to know you're reliable and will pay it off.
Why do you think this is wrong? I pay off my credit cards every month, never had a bank loan of any kind. My credit score is over 800. I have a 20k limit on my credit card with a 5% interest rate.
Taking a bank loan to get a better credit score might technically work, but its just plain fiscally stupid.

I used to get SO fucking much junk mail from Capitol one that I will never do business with them. It got to the point where I was getting like 3 mailings a week from them. I started ripping out the part with my information and stuffing their BS back in the SESE and mailing it back to them.

No shit? Mines 22k at 4.1%. Took 16 years of building credit to get that and another to 15.5k. A few car loans here and there, steady payment of bills, never missed a beat. What I'll ever do with 37k credit line I don't know. We are above 800 but I only run my free yearly experian/transunion/equifax. I don't trust scores.
My credit union won't leave me the fuck alone about my auto loan. It's nice that it's at like 2.5% but it's still not better. Last time they called they started talking about a loan for a house. It's like Jesus Christ just call me for fraud protection and fuck off.
I'm only carrying a car loan to build credit. I mean why not, the interest is pennies on the dollar. I only put 100k in this credit union why do they think I need their money.

I've been meaning to ask for a stronger line of credit on the 22k platinum plus rewards Visa. It is a nice card. It's rewards got shittier over the years though. If you manage it right, they're paying you to use their card.
I have some friends that work in banking and finance. You know what they call people who pay off their balance? Deadbeats. 
Lana said the best thing in Money Matters: banks and credit card companies only give money to people with money. Boy ain't that true when we were in our 40 degree house with no propane when we were poor and it was $7/gallon with a minimum purchase of 300 gallons. Jeeze.
That's why I ended up selling all of my silver (thank god I did when I did). Propane literally went from like a buck eighty nine to 7.67 or some such overnight. I was going to fill it the week before and was busy with work then boom. Fucked, starving, in -60 temps, love it.
