Just for info -

About 35% of the weightage for calculating the FICO (or Beacon) score is based on %age of credit limit utilised. The lower the %age utilisation, the better your credit score - all else being equal.

My suggestion -

try getting a "large" limit and religiously manage your payments - NEVER BE LATE.

If a "large"limit is not possible - DO NOT RUN YOUR CARD UP TO ITS LIMIT. Use your card for about 40% everymonth and pay cash for rest of the month, leaving approx 60% unutilised, this will help increase your score in a shorter period.

Rgds and good luck,

Newboyo
