With the Einstein's free coffee, is that just regular coffee or can you get latte's too?
Can I get the free 1 year of grubhub if Im already a prime customer? Or is it new signups for Amazon Prime only?

These are some pretty solid deals and I saw your other thread, too. I appreciate the work you're putting in these and bringing life to this sub.

Cheers 💯

You need a new amazon account to get the free grub hub I believe.

Honestly, it’s frustrating to see such a good, well-organized thread laid out on a silver platter, and the people who benefit from it (and there are many, I’m sure) don’t even say THANK YOU… 🤦‍♂️
