Had a funny moment I thought some of you would get a kick out of! Over the weekend, my girlfriend and I went out for dinner with her parents. The check comes, so both her father and I race to pull out our wallets and start politely fighting over who's taking care of the bill... and he starts cracking up when he realizes we've both pulled out Chase AARP cards! He made fun of me for a bit ("I'm over 70, what's your excuse for carrying around an old fart card?") and we ended up bonding (while my girlfriend rolled her eyes) about the 3% cashback at restaurants

Should have told him you're trying to meet the sign up bonus spend. No true credit guru would interfere.
Amen. I tried my best, but he wouldn't budge, bonus spend be damned, since he said he was pretty sure I could meet the spend without him. A lucky problem to have, for sure--I'm looking forward to the day when I succesfully connive to cover the bill (he's insistent, so it will probably involve cornering the waitress in advance). But victory will be mine
