No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I have only one card .......capital one secured card with $501 credit limit. From i've read its best to keep the Utilization average 7%. Would that mean I need to report it at $35? Thanks
under 30% should be good just make sure you are paying the balance off by the due date
1. You can spend as you wish on the CC, but I'd try to arrange things so that the reported balance is around $10-50, or around 2-10% utilization. Typically this is done by paying the balance off or down just before the statement date.
2. To optimize scoring for the long term, I'd recommend adding a couple more revolving accounts, e.g. another secured CC like the SDFCU Visa.
