For most of us, every day is Coffee Day; it’s not easy to get a jump on the morning without that little caffeine kickstart. But today is actually National Coffee Day — the one day of the year where we pay tribute to the sacred brown brew that gives us that much-needed extra boost of energy to get through a long day at work or a transatlantic red-eye flight. In honor of the occasion, several of the world’s most popular java purveyors are offering some serious deals on your favorite cup of joe. Don't forget to use a card like Chase Sapphire Reserve the Chase Sapphire Preferred which earns 3x and 2x points on dining, respectively. The new Bank of America® Premium Rewards® credit card card earns anywhere from 2x-3.5x points on dining. Here’s where and how to score some deals.
