About a third of your score is based on the ratio of credit card debt to limit. Carrying balances of 30% hurts your score; 50% takes a big bite; 90% kills your score. As you pay off your overall credit card balances below those percentages, your score will improve.

Hi,
Some credit card companies, such as Washington Mutual and American Express, give consumers their free credit score when they sign up to apply for a credit card. Once your application is approved and you are issued your new credit card, your free credit score is updated monthly on your account and you get to access it without any additional charge.
thank you!
