A good rule of thumb when it comes to rebuilding your credit is to not use more than 15% of your available credit and preferably between 5% and 10%. So if your credit limit is $500, spend between $25 and $50 a month on your card and pay it off in FULL every month.
You score your credit based on how you use the credit you have available to you. You will harm your credit score if you are continuously maxing out your credit limit or only repaying the minimum amount. Your credit rating will improve quickly if you prove that you're a responsible borrower.
