    ☕ What's your definition of "good" coffee?

    New Amex statement credits

    I base my restaurant choices for the AEDMO offer on past experience rather than the unreliable Amex map. My goto place has never been listed but paid out again this year on multiple cards.

    AFF Member Stock Discussion
