Wife just told me to go spend some money - we need points on the AMEX Business Card. WTF?

I don't think the dealer will take AMEX for a new C7 but there are plenty of places with C5 mods awaiting. I would not wait to hear the spend request twice. Good luck on your next mods.

Leave the house now and don't come back until the card is maxed out on mods.

This could be a test.
Has she dropped any hints about something she wants or needs?
Properly played, you could score twice.

Pick up a dozen roses on the way home. They'll help soften the impact when you tell her exactly how much you spent.

Reminds me of when Peg Bundy became a Patty Brite Girl and all of her "commiss" checks were rebates from her own spending!

Where does she think the AMEX Rewards are coming from? (HINT: Not AMEX and not the Merchant).

You have a great wife, my friend!

Mine is the same. She's constantly reminding me that I have not made any car-related purchases in a while and I should find something that I want and buy it. I feel blessed.

Is it a business that you both own? I'm assuming so. Regardless, hope she's not setting you up for tax fraud by creating frivolous "business expenses"

Once you're in jail, she can take it all and finally run away with the pool boy. Tread lightly my friend.
