How does one get credit?

Yall know the story about me... I am going to be a bit vague here..

#1 100% Debt Free
#2 Low 6 figure savings
#3 Mid 6 Figure retirement (401k)
#4 No Credit Card debt
#5 DTI (Debt to income ratio =0)
#Paid 30 yr mortgage off in 5.5 years
#Bought car on 4 year financing in 2005 paid off in 2 years
#Bought Car with 4 year financing in 2002 also paid off in 2 years
# Have 1 bank credit card (Visa) Pay off in full every month
Income per year is High 5 figures to low 6 figures per year

No bankruptcies or late payments ever on any thing I ever bought since the early 90's.

I am not interested in buying anything or looking to buy anything but why is my credit score in the mid 600's and how do I get it to go up?

I am fully prepared for a bunch of stupid comments that I am just going to filter through to get to the legitimate ones so fire away... I know there are a bunch of people on this forum that make good money and are pretty smart except for their choice in a football team so give me some pointers.

Being Debt free is wonderful but if I ever choose to go buy someting like a stupid cell phone on a contract (which I haven't) I am going to be super pissed having that kind of coin and getting turned down...

Fire away

Is Discover worth a shit for anything but scraping ice off the windshield?
Meh, not really. What are you planning on charging on the card? That makes a difference for the best rewards you can get.

Also, the advice to carry a small balance is dumb. You won't gain a higher credit score from this.

Weird.

I have a credit score over 800 and all I really have is a house payment.

I JUST got a credit card in the past month. I tend to save money rather than going into debt... as I feel my house is enough debt. I have no idea why my rating is so high or why the OP's would be so low. Sounds like he's doing better than me.

Your phone bill should have nothing to do with it unless it is huge and you have very very low credit limits.

Yep, got it set to to where my discover card that has a limit of just $2,500 takes all the charges. The other cards have $5,000 limits each and are emergency only.

So $7500 total? If that'a truly all you charge it shouldn't make a bit of difference.
