Like the other people mentioned, I built up excellent credit by charging a few hundred bucks a month (utilities, meals, etc) and paying it all off.
Whatever you do, don't max out any cards! I have 3. Two of them are more or less unused (under $100/mo). I came to within $200 or so of maxing out my Amex Blue Cash by buying a used car on it (I wanted that cashback bonus!). I paid it in full 2 weeks later. Of course they had to report to the credit bureaus while it was maxed out, which caused my TransUnion score to go from 745 to 693.
