Pay off monthly is good but keep card balances below 30% of limits at all times. Good Luck.

Yes, of course. Why would you want to pay interest to the bank every month?

It's a myth that you need to maintain a balance on your cards to help your score. If you use your cards, that use will show up on your credit reports, but then pay them off in full when you get the statement to avoid paying interest.

always pay the most you can on your bills, every month. carrying a balance, does not help your scores one way or the other, but does cost you bigtime in interest. always pay in full every month if you can.
