How to use credit card to build credit?

Question

So first credit card ever!!  I got approved for 3,000.  All I’m going to use it for is to put my utilities/bills on there and nothing else.  My sole purpose of this card is to get credit up.
So I made an Allstate payment on Dec 9th with the credit card and figured I’d pay it off today and did.  They said first payment would be due Feb 2nd but I just paid it in full already.  So next I’ll put my car payment on it today and wait 2 or so weeks and pay it in full again.  Then I’ll put another utility or whatever bill on it, wait 2 weeks, pay in full, then repeat.
Do I have this right?  So use the card, in 2 weeks pay in full, then repeat?  Will I get better credit in doing this?

Answer

You get credit for paying the bill on time and also for not having a huge amount of credit out. You won’t get MORE credit for paying every 2 weeks, but if that’s what keeps you on top of your payments, then there’s not harm in it! I would just double check with the card company that you don’t have a max number of individual payments you’re allowed to make per month. One of my old cards had this, so I made sure to consolidate my payments to 2-3 a month.

Answer

Most lenders for car loans don't allow credit card payments.  You need to check if yours does.  
Also check that any utilities you pay with a credit card don't charge a % for processing fee.  Many do....my electric add gas company do but it's free for my debit card.  
Paying it every 2 weeks isn't going to build your credit faster.  Just pay it on or before the due date and pay it in full to avoid interest.

Answer

You'll get a bill in the mail so make sure you pay by the due date, but necessarily every two weeks.

Answer

Just set it up to be automatically be paid in full from your bank account the day before the due date. This system you have is going to get complicated and you’re going to forget a payment
