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

I say it's OK to get a credit card with a very high limit for emergencies for when you are traveling and stuff.

Just don't have a balance.

Keep paying everything in cash.

**** these banks, they don't care about you.

You're just a revenue stream to them.

I don't pay for anything in cash unless I have to. Get at least 2% back on everything (5% on most), never paid a cent in credit card interest.

This and all of this.

I have over 10k in available credit but have never acquired interest as I pay it off every month and I use my CC for every purchase I make.

My credit score is 779 and I have never taken out a car loan and don't have a mortgage yet but I had a credit card at age 15 to build credit history thanks to my parents suggestion.

I don't see why you care though R8ers if you aren't looking for available credit and already own your house?

I use the Priceline Rewards Visa, there's also a Fidelity Amex out there.
https://www.pricelinerewardsvisa.com/

Use PenFed Cash rewards for 5% on gas.
US Bank Cash+ gives me 5% on bill pay (which they're doing away with) and restaurants.
Amex Blue Cash Preferred 6% on groceries.
And Chase Freedom and Discover More have rotating quarterly 5% categories.

Why the **** are you asking these questions on a Chiefs MSG board?

I agree with HMc on this one. This is about you flaunting your money, as it were. Your posting habits suggest this to be true. I do, however, Applaud you for being responsible and capable of putting money aside for your retirement. I just think you take interesting and repeated attempts to strut your finances in front of people.

You are most certainly entitled to think the way you want but you are wrong here.
When I started this thread I could not figure for the life of me why I should have a middle 600 credit score and after reading some responses and some talking about their credit score I ordered my credit report and score from transunion because I am sure that they are not reporting my 11 year old credit card and pulling my score down...

How much money I have or you have is not important actually but I never discuss my money with real life friends, it's better to talk to those who don't know you

Ok I may have more money than those who are crying about it... Who cares..

I probably don't deserve it and I should share it with all the needy poor liberals of the world right?

I have done nothing that the normal blue collar working joe can't do if he is disciplined with his money. It's not like I was given anything.

I am not special, never claimed to be just disciplined when it comes to money...

I wish I were this disciplined in the way I eat and the way I take care of myself.

Plenty of people on this forum have higher paying jobs and have alot more money than I do, I am not envious of them.. I like to hear success stories. It also gives me ideas to improve my situation, I have evolved a bit, I use to think ALL credit was bad but now I do not feel that way when you use it as a tool to make more money.

There are people in this world no matter what you do will try to tear you down... Those people are no good for you in your life.

get a credit card and use it all the time ... use it even when you don't need to

pay off any big balance immediately to save you money but you might want to pay the minimum and carry over the balance on some small amounts every so often.
