Venmo?

All the rage here in the district. VERY trendy to Venmo your morning coffee and Venmo your friends to split the check at Citronelle.

But I can run into my regular coffee shop, grab a cookie and just yell "Venmo me!"

No waiting in lines!

My SPG Amex has that thing where I wave it in front of the machine and it charges it.  Plus it puts me up in a fancy hotel in Hawaii for a week and a half every couple years :dunno:

But does it make phone calls?

I honestly don't know why I'm defending this thing. I think it's a pain in the ass for trendy people who can't fit wallets into the pockets of their skinny jeans. I was actually at a restaurant this week and offered "cash" for my share of the bill. It was as if I was bartering with chickens or something.

We should hang out when I'm in DC for a week in April.  You can hand me cash every day for the rest of your life and I'll get SPG miles for your portion.

Yeah. I really need to get around to doing this (the miles/points part). I've had the same shitty CC for about a dozen years.

Wow, you are missing out.  You should take beems time machine and get a good credit card 12 years ago.
