<prompt> Human: Question for you all. Ive got around 1,200 in credit card debt. This is leftover from when I was an idiot and didnt know how credit cards work. I let interest accumulate, and have been recently starting to pay off as much as I can afford each month. Thats going fine, and if I stay on my current course, I should have it all paid off within a year. Its done some reasonable damage to my credit score, which is currently sitting at 660.My question is, would it be useful or pointless for me to get a new credit card and use it to buy things, as long as I pay off the balance in full every month, in order to improve my credit score? I would essentially be using it for what I use my debit card now, and obviously not purchasing anything I dont have the money for.Im new to this sub, so apologies if this is a commonly-asked question. I searched, but didnt really find anything quite the same.  <response>: Id look into seeing if you qualify for the chase slate. You could transfer your balance for free and have 15 months to pay off the balance before you have to pay interest.
