Dining

Caribou Coffee, founded in Minnesota in 1992, runs about 700 cafes concentrated in the Upper Midwest plus a growing licensed presence in airports, hospitals, and grocery stores. Signature drinks include the Caribou Cooler frozen blends, Northern Lite sugar-free options, and seasonal Pumpkin White Mocha. Every Caribou purchase, whether at a corporate cafe or through the Caribou Perks app, codes as dining. That means strong dining cards (Amex Gold 4x, Chase Sapphire Preferred 3x, Capital One SavorOne 3% unlimited) all hit the full bonus.
