Q: I am trying to find a trick to raise my credit score quickly.

The first thing you can do is to pay off your credit card bills before the statement prints. When the statement is printed, the amount owed can hurt your score. Also, be aware that 10% of your score is made up by the types of credit you have used, so it can be good to have cards from multiple banks. And, the last thing is to use business cards, since amounts owed on business cards are not reported on your personal credit report and it will not hurt your score.

Q: Whichever card I try to apply to, they always decline me. How can I improve my credit score in order to get a card?

You can try by having someone add you as an additional user onto their account for some time, which will get a nice boost on your credit score from that. You can also apply for some store cards because it is easier to get approved for them. Another option is to get a secured card which is designed so as to help the cardholders build their credit score. There are some banks which offer a student card which is also easier to get than regular credit cards, so you can try with it, too.
