Thoughts?”Bring it on! Rack those rebates up, baby!” - That’s what I’m thinking. I wonder if fast food joints are considered “restaurants” in credit issuers’ lingo. AmEx ran a promotion in April that gets you “double cash-back at restaurants”.

But not at QSR (quick service restaraunts). Either way, I signed on for that and ate out almost 12 times in April. More than usual, but amex “coerced” me into it by offering that.

Boston Market makes it even easier - they do not require a signature for any purchase under $20.00. It really speeds things up at the register.
