Say your credit limit is $3,000. But you want to make a $5,000 purchase. Normally, if you do this, you'll go over your limit by $2,000...and that would hurt your credit score.
So instead, can you essentially "increase" you own credit limit by FIRST overpaying your card by $2,000? And then make the $5,000 purchase? Or will making the $5,000 purchase still end up showing as going "over" your credit limit, thereby hurting your credit score?
