  There are many ways that you are building up your credit card.  One way is having a credit card.  For me, the cashback could be one of the reasons that I want to use a credit card.  Another easier way is you can ask your street bank to issue you a credit card.  Otherwise, I use America Express.  You can use my link and get 10 pounds for free -  https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/nGPEYLy4vC?XL=MITNS Examples of what reflect in American Express credit card apps:  Addition information How to check your credit score:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u87gu8IFf08 How to improve you credit score:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzjNCoqazVw Other topics (table of contents):  https://helenngjourney.blogspot.com/2022/02/table-of-contents.html
