    What bingy said. Don't ever leave yourself in a position wherby you might need to make a call to their customer service team.

    Note down the details you need from the statement to pay via online banking or set up a direct debit with them; pay in full every month; and dont't be lulled into a false sense of security when they "Upgrade" you to Gold / Higher limit, and then say your APR will be reduced, it's all lies.

    Just keep using it and paying in full every month until you've got a good enough score to get a card elsewhere :) Good luck ;)
