Your score goes up from time and activity. activity is $1 or $1000. Just activity to show payments. Score changes can be seen from this type of activity in 6 month intervals.

You don't get extra points for paying in full, because the scoring formula never knows whether you paid in full or carried a balance from one month to the next.  You do get points for not being late on your payments, and for letting a small balance report to the CRAs.
