    Credit card advice for a n00b

    I wont disagree Im wrong. But I have had Personal experiences in the past where if you didnt make a certain amount of payments over time you didnt gain a history. Most of us on here have made 100's af payments over time and developed our own history. The first article flat out said to pay...

    Just because your the exception doesnt make them the tooth fairy. If that was the bussiness plan we would have to bail out all of them. (OH WAIT WE ALREADY DID)

    Credit card advice for a n00b

    Now Toshi I never told him to get a card and run wild (which I have done in the past) I only made reference to what I have seen recently. Also I expressed that if he is going to use it as a debit card, then just use the debit card and forgo the fees, interest, temptation, and evil that is the...

    Credit card advice for a n00b

    While paying it off every month is an iron clad way to handle a CC. It will not build your credit score. If your only reason is convience then stay with the debit system and dont bother with it. But to build credit you have to play the credit game.By the way I've been on both sides of the credit...

    Credit card advice for a n00b

    I looked up my credit score the other day, and the service I went thru recomended carying a 7% balance. Which was a reference to those who typicaly had the best credit scores. So if your trying to build credit, paying off every month wont build as much as carrying a small balance over time...
