• for bills, is having it on autopay with the biller superior to using it manually to pay that biller? I prefer to manually manage all that as I have for years but I figure its beneficial to get that on a credit card and just make sure its paid off. I already basically use a bills bank account to do essentially this manually

  • only purchase what I already have set aside/budgeted for and can payoff before the grace period

  • anything else?

    Its arbitrary though. My score was that and I had $45k debt at one point due to divorce and a move etc. They only care that you keep making payments to show they can offer you more ways to get in debt. Its stupid to pay interest to get a highacore.
    Then there was my wife who barely had an credit cars and no other assets or debt and she was over 800 somehow.
