Should be noted that in most of the EU cashback programmes are also not as big as in the US. Never heard of anyone getting "2% back from everything". That said, a middleman that takes a smaller fee is still much better for the eco

Discord has the most infuriating search I've ever seen. It's fuzzy by default and you can't turn the fuzziness off - there's no way to search for a literal phrase, or even a literal word.
