Best way to use credit card To improve credit scoring

958 Posts

I am five years post bankruptcy discharge from four years ago. I am currently waiting for my credit card to arrive. I want to buy my weekly shop on this and pay it off to try and improve my credit by showing that I can be a responsible person to lend to for a future mortgage.
My question is do I pay the balance of immediately after buying my shopping or do I wait for the monthly bill to be generated and then pay off the balance in full or does it not matter.
Many thanks
