FWIW it's been taking up space in my wallet for about 15 days this month and I've yet to use it.
Honestly, it almost feels like you just want to make this hard. I mean put it in a digital wallet (e.g. Apple/Google Pay) on your phone.
(yes, yes, I know "the places you go don't take digital wallet payments..."
)
Sure, obviously a "one and done" is easier, but that is the trend for these cards (see changes to the very card you are claiming is superior, which we are currently discussing), but the Bonvoy Dining credit is drop dead simple to use, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
