How To Best Build And Track Your Credit

  • Reviewing your credit report and your credit score regularly can save you money
  • Keep your credit use below 30% of your total available credit, as it can ding your credit score. You calculate it by dividing the total amount on all of your credit cards by your total available credit.
  • If you have bad credit, get a secured credit card. It helps build credit like a regular card but won’t let you overspend. And you don’t need good credit to get one.
