Credit score
Advance payments on what type of credit?
Regardless, if the payments serve to reduce your credit utilization ratio, your score will increase.

Credit score
Your credit report tracks whether or not you pay on time each month. Making a larger payment won't improve your history of paying on time.
Your credit report also tracks your balances as a percent of the original amount (such as a car loan or student loan) and also tracks your combined balance as a percentage of your available credit (your maximum borrowing ability). Making a larger payment to reduce your balance will definitely help these two factors.
