1) The first card should probably either be a card that has a low credit limit so that he won’t have to worry about running up an excessive amount of debt.
2) Only make purchases for amounts that you know you will be able to pay off at the end of every month. Keeping a low or no balance is good for your credit score and when you pay the balance in full each month, you don’t have to worry about incurring finances charges.
3) You will hear this a million times but making payments on time is very important. Our payment history is what lenders view and payments late continuously gives potential lenders the impression that you are a high risk with regards to being extended a line of credit.
4) It would also be a good idea to obtain a credit report every so often so as to keep an eye on any new items that show up.

M$• Pay your balances in full and on time. Overdue payments will have huge interests or penalty.
• Pay first the balances with the highest APR.
• Try to avoid card offers that include penalty rates.
• Avoid making cash advances if possible.
• Do not lend your card to anyone. You, the owner, are the one responsible for your credit card use.
• Watch your account closely. Be mindful of the APR every time you get your monthly statement.
• If you already are in trouble with your credit card debt, you consult a debt relief professional while freezing your account or cut the cards up with a pair of scissors.
