Most of the reply covers the essential.

Let me give you my personal view.

Getting a Credit Card should some with a "Value" Purposes rather then building a "Credit" on Credit Card.

Most Values comes from

  1. Cash Back

  2. One for One Offer

  3. Miles Point or Equivalents

Having a credit card also expose you to fraud use or sometimes double charges if you are not the checking type.

So remember to only apply Credit Card when it benefits you and not trouble you.

Thank you.

Yes the key is to spend on credit cards but pay off your debts every month.

Well, spend if you must. Credit cards do come with benefits like cashback or earning miles, or dining deals if you are into those. With benefits comes responsibility to pay off your monthly credit card bills in full. This helps in maintaining a good credit score.

Yes that is correct, charge bills to your credit card and always pay it on time to build a good cred...
