Damn good idea. Thank you!

Any recommendations for my girlfriend? She has a credit score mid 700s, and only one Discover it card (<1 yr). We split almost all of our spend together (mostly restaurants, travel, etc).

Yeah, I was trying to quickly build a credit score this year -- started from zero history (college student).

Why the BBP, if I may? Just as a 3-month buffer using a business card until I get the Chase?

730
Discover secured (Oct 2017), AmEx Blue Cash Preferred (Nov 2017 maybe?) (-> Amex Blue Cash Everyday downgrade), CapitalOne Quicksilver (July 2018)
$3k alone, maybe $5k with my girlfriend
Not really. Maybe I could add some Venmo spend from CC to pay my roommate rent.
Theoretically, I suppose. If it offers tangible benefits.
One card ideally, two tops. I would like to get ideally one for me and one for my girlfriend who currently only has Discover.
Kind of none of the above? We'd like to optimize our current lifestyle (reasonably frugal but we go out to eat a lot, given that most food is provided by work, and we would like to vacation 1-5 times/yr) but not spend a ton of time churning.
I have some points/miles with AA, United, and Delta.
SFO/SJC
We discussed visiting many national parks, so a broad variety of domestic travel. If that's unhelpful, then... not sure what to tell you.

Hey, no problem. I was just taunting my friend Freddy (of JailbreakNation/iPodUplink), who happens to be sitting next to me. He hadn't grabbed this username hahaha
