When you eat out with friends, do you split the bill evenly, contribute just what you ate, or take turns paying? Do you use Venmo, PayPal, credit cards, cash or something else? How has this changed since mobile payments became commonplace? Tell us your favorite bill-paying strategies and you'll be entered to win $25 toward your next meal (paid how you want to spend it: Venmo, PayPal, or Amazon gift card!) Enter through September 30, 2018. Winner will be randomly selected and must be a U.S. resident at least 18 years of age.

We just ask for separate checks and pay for our own.

We usually have separate checks. If I'm out with 10 people or more, we split it evenly including tip.

We take turns paying each time we eat out. I pay the bill, then next time she pays the bill. It's our way of doing the pay it forward. We both feel "treated."

It depends. If I don't have enough cash for my share, I would use Zelle, PayPal, or $Cash app.

Split it evenly. Sometimes it's in our favor, sometimes the other couple so we figure in the end it's pretty even.

I am usually OK with splitting the bill evenly down the middle. Usually if one person orders I drink then we all do or vice versa and we don't order drinks. I also can never make up my mind or want to try am more than one thing on the menu so I enjoy splitting with people. I never have cash on me so either one person Pays with their card and the other one venmos.

My friends and I usually split the check and pay for whatever we ordered (not in equal segments, because sometimes one person ordered very little while another ordered expensive items). If someone wants to pay by credit card for the points or whatever, we pay them. We do split the tip equally usually. By the way, I would want the prize (if I win!) in an Amazon gift card.

We usually have someone who has agreed to treat everybody when a large group goes to dinner, and we take turns being that person. Then everybody else contributes to the tip.

I'm old fashioned. I don't own a smartphone. I'd go out with the people whom I know, that way we can all split the bills - easy as ever!!
