Keep your credit utilization ratio low. Endeavor to keep your credit utilization ratio Low by only consuming a small fraction of your secured credit.

Monitor your spending. Keep track of your spending habits to ensure that you remain within the 200 credit limit. Additionally, constantly monitor your transactions to discover errors and avoid unauthorized charges on your credit card.
