Hi folks!
My secret of buildin good credit ratin is to pay my credit card bills on time, stay well within your credit limits and be careful not to take on too much debt with too many credit cards!
Use your cards to boost your credit score and you'll not only qualify for zero and low-interest rates on competing cards but you may also be eligible for a better deal on your mortgage and auto insurance.
Isn't this way simple enough? Wink

For me a credit card the best way to pay in cyberspace. I love online shopping!
If you're worried about security, I know that many credit card companies offer a one-time use account number for large online purchases that keeps your real account number off of the Web.
Isn't it great idea!
So, you can feel safe of using your credit card online for big purchases.

Hey guys,
I just want to share my experience with you:

I once used a low interest rate credit card to buy a car. The fixed-rate on the card was better than what banks were offering on auto loans and he didn't have any of the application hassles. (Of course, this only makes sense if you qualify for a very low interest card and a very high credit limit -- and you can afford to pay the big balance off quickly.) Wink

Consolidate the outstanding balances on your credit cards into one loan or onto one credit card that has a lower interest rate than the ones you are currently paying.

Make double payments on the cards with the highest interest rates and when you get them down to zip start double payments on the next highest interest rate cards and so on till you pay them off.

The best way to not use a card is to leave it at home. If you carry it you will find an excuse to use it.
