If your trying to build a credit profile. Do not buy anything on the card you can’t afford to pay cash for. When the bill comes in pay the full balance

Pay the statement balance in full each month, but NOT the full balance. Paying the statement balance avoids interest but having a remaining balance rolling over to the next month will show as credit utilization on your credit report
