I would keep less then $100 balance on it and only pay the minimum payment every month. The credit companies want to see that you can handle paying a bill month after month with no lateness. NEVER EVER EVER have more then $250 on there if your max is $500. But I would keep it at LESS than $100. I told my neighbor these directions to improve her score and it got dramatically better in six months. I've done this religiously for 10 years and have a 720, and no it will not help you to pay it all off every month as the other person suggested. That may help maintain the score, but not increase it. Good luck! Not much. I would keep less then $100 balance on it and only pay the minimum payment every month.

Paying the bill on-time each month is the important thing since each on-time payment adds to your credit score. However, each missed payment will significantly reduce your credit score much more than on-time payments. The amount is unimportant as long as it is less than the limit.

So if you have a $500 limit, keep your balance below $150, and ALWAYS make your payments in a timely manner. This applies whether you have a secured or non-secured credit card.
