<prompt> Human: Hey everybody, so I recently got a new credit card and was wondering what the best course of action is to raise my credit score. I already have a high score, but I want to know what is the best way to make payments. Ive heard that if you pay in full every month credit companies dont like it as much. If I pay in full will my credit score decrease? Alternatively, if I pay minimum payments consistently will my credit score increase? Thanks for your time and advice.  <response>: What you heard wrong. Paying interest in hopes of building your credit score is a waste if money.
