Do you have a credit card?

[catgirl]

As the title asks, do you have a credit card? If so what do you use it to pay for? Would you say you have a high or low limit? Do you think you are a responsible credit user? I personally have the Discover Credit Card they gave me a $1,500 limit with good payment history in about eight months, the cashback rewards are pretty great. I use it to cover my day to day expenses and then pay back as much in full as possible at the end of the month. As a perk I can use the cashback to pay off part of my monthly statement, it's practically free money.

I have a Capital One Credit Card and I got it to improve my credit score (as I didn't really have a good one because I didn't have any history).
I buy something every month with it and then pay it off within a month so that it improves my credit score.

CapitalOne has nice offerings as well. I dislike that their credit building cards do not offer cash back. Discover has lower fees and interest rates which pushes me to like them more

Yeah. Cashback would have been lovely but I guess not. I'm just glad that they gave me one and it was nice knowing that they were going to approve me before I actually did the proper application. Hoping to get a better credit card after a while

Just make perfect and above-minimum payments every month, check an eye on your credit score with https://www.creditkarma.com/ or something. Once you're about 700+ you'll have loads of good cards available to you.

Yeah, I always pay it off right away every month. I only buy things I have the money for right now so the credit card is literally just for helping with the credit score more than me actually needing it. I use ClearScore right now to check up on my score.

$500 limit and i only use it for big money purchases, such as a new windshield for my car, or chips from the store

Yes, I have one. My limit is currently £500.00 and I use my credit card for everyday spending to help build my credit score and history. I always pay my balance of in full by the end of the month to avoid any interest being accumulated.
