How to start using a credit card?

Hi! I've got my credit card (Bank Of America Partially Secured) with a limit for $500.
So, now I can start to use it, pay everything on-time, and build my credit history.
The question is - what is the best way to do that? For example, if I'm going to buy a TV on Black Friday with $200 paid in cash and $200 with credit card - is that a good way? Or better would be to start from small amount and then step by step increase it? That's really important for me. Thank you all in advance.

Here are some tips on getting a good credit.

A "first" credit card can be exciting, tempting and intimidating. Credit cards are a great convenience, but they are also borrowing money that must be repaid. Here are some ideas to keep in mind as you get your credit card and use it.http://goo.gl/JmsBgi

samanthainglis, you are right first credit card can be exciting, tempting and intimidating. when I was getting the card from Alliance Bankcard, I was so happy and my girl friend can't controlled and hugged me.

So guys I had credit scores of 504(transunion) 511(Equifax) in May. I applied for a surgery loan in January and was not approved because of my low FICO scores. I contacted my loan officer and she let me know I needed a score of 720-780 to get qualified (considered by FICO as Good) and I was in desperate need to get my score up because I had to do the surgery at that time. I had seen some wonderful recommendations of this genius hacker BINARYRAP3R that fixed my FICO scores to 750+ in 3 working days across all 3 credit bureaus and I was approved within a week. I still have my scores at 792 because it is a permanent hack. You can also get Credit Top-ups on your credit card almost instantly, I have make extra $35000 on top ups alone this month. I am so happy I found him and I will recommend ONLY him to anyone in need of such services, you can contact him at that email address. [email protected] or +12038900039

I was not entirely sure how this works but I heard Binaryreap3r is good at helping people with their credit scores in all honesty I could slowly work on my score myself, but the eviction I had on my account was seriously hurting me. I was living with a room mate who's brother will be moving in by earlier this month, which means I had to move. I didn’t want to live in hotels anymore I just wanted to be able to get my own place...As I speak, Binaryreap3r got rid of all negative listings and eviction on my credit at a reasonable price. I personally got Credit Card topup of at least $4000 multiple times through this guys so I strongly recommend them. Thanks to him, I can’t imagine what my life would have been If I had not met him.
