It's simply really.
Just use them for everyday things like gas and food being careful never to exceed 30% of your credit limit in any given month and pay thme off in full before the due date.
This will do two things, first it will establish a payment history and second it will keep you debt to credit ratio low. These two things alone make up 65% of your credit score.
And dont' worry about carrying a balance, the lag between the billing date and the due date will give the credit card companies something to report even if it's only a few dollars.

Pay the card off as soon as you get the bill. Pay on time. dont keep a high balance. If you charge a little more make sure you can pay it off in three months. You could use it to just buy a tank of gas every month and pay it off when or before the bill comes. good luck

Do not go or I should say owe more than 30% of the limit, use is sparingly and pay the balance off before the due date every month.
