It makes your credit really good if you fully pay off your balance each month, or every other month...and don't max them out!

Depends on the credit you want. Just having a card that you don't use will help your score more than not having one. However, having too many even without any balances reduces the amount lenders think you can borrow and you might not get say a house or car loan because you have "too much credit" extended already.

If you want the credit card companies to increase your limits, you have to use them and show you can pay the minimum due on time. This is something to be careful of because if you continue maxing out your credit card(s) and they continue to increase your limit, you might get to the point where you are paying such a high monthly minimum balance that it's all you can afford and you'll never pay off the balance. (remember that's what keeps them in business is the interest rate you pay. If you're paying off the card every month or more than the minimum balance then it doesn't benefit them as much. Their goal is to keep you paying interest but that is not in your best interest...)

There's many pluses to using your card and paying the balance off every month. E.g., use it for things like groceries, gas etc that you'd normally use a debit for and get free airline mileage or other perks certain cards offer. To help you keep track of your expenses though, enter the purchases into a check book register daily and keep a running balance on your bank account. Then when the bill comes, you'll have the money to pay it.

Well, that was longer than I intended... hope it helps. =)

No, What builds your credit up is making at least the minimum pyment and make it on time. The longer you have it the better your credit.

I'm in the same boat with the card. You need to pay the bill that should help.


carlos
you'll increase your score by paying the card every month.

I'm pretty sure it all just depends on how well you keep up with payments.

not necessarily the volume, but the prompt payment gets your
relationship improved.
