I kind of wish I had AARP instead of Freedom..would love 3% back year long on take-out..
I added some clarification cause you're right. It was definitely open to interpretation.
I definitely recommend the AARP card. I was all about it before Q2, so I'm sure I'll be enthused again soon.
On the bright side though, we both should be getting the quarterly bonuses for our Better Balance Rewards cards any day now.
Get the USBank Cash+ card and get 5% back at fast food joints like Chick-Fil-a and Chipotle. Then 2% at sit-down restaurants, or grab the AARP card in those instances.

I have thought about the Cash+ because I do eat fast food probably more than I should, but I'm nervous about nerfing. The categories other than fast food do not really excite me, so if they removed it, I'd be stuck with a less useful card.

Yeah, I would definitely use my AARP card at sit-down restaurants, but I'm not sure that I spend enough money on fast food to app for a Cash+ for that extra 2%. If I knew with 100% certainty that they won't nerf the card completely, then maybe I'd apply. Their record on that card is pretty terrible though. It also doesn't help that there appears to be no signup bonus at all. Not even a token $50-100.
True the Cash+ is still the best for fast food...but they started the slippery slope of nerfs.
I will probably revert to DoubleCash, although Discover's 2% + change for and Double Cashback and Discover Deals is not a bad alternative.
I sure hope they don't nerf it. I crush that $2000 quarterly offering. The card is good for $400 cashback+ per year for me.
I think there is a $100 sign-up bonus. Not sure when it takes effect. I haven't receeived mine yet.
Yeah, I'm switching to Sam's Club for my dining...Discover definitely was nice for dining!
I applied for the AARP, but Chase didn't want me. :-(
