Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available.
Delta Air Lines has partnered with America's favorite airport coffee brand since October 2022. By linking their Starbucks Rewards and Delta SkyMiles accounts, travelers can earn Delta SkyMiles with every Starbucks purchase.
In honor of Father's Day, Delta is strengthening that partnership with a new promotion to help you earn free Starbucks coffee. All you have to do is purchase a Delta gift card worth at least $300 to receive a $20 Starbucks gift card as a reward.
Deal basics
Airline: Delta Air Lines.
How to earn: Purchase a Delta gift card worth at least $300 using this link to receive a $20 electronic Starbucks gift card.
How to use: Delta gift cards can only be used for airfare, including taxes, fees and surcharges. They cannot be used for inflight purchases, premium seating or fare upgrades.
Purchase by: 11:59 p.m. EDT on June 17.
Use by: Starbucks and Delta gift cards do not expire.
The fine print: This promotion is only available to U.S. residents age 18 or older and can only be purchased once during the promotional period. It is limited to the first 3,000 customers who take advantage of this deal.
Offer details
When you purchase a Delta gift card of $300 or more using this link, you'll be prompted to enter the required information to purchase your Delta gift card.
You can choose a physical or digital card. If you choose a digital card, there are a variety of designs to pick from. You'll then select your gift card amount, which must be $300 or more to qualify for the Starbucks promotion.
After adding the Delta gift card to your cart, you should see a "Promotions" section that displays the $20 digital Starbucks gift card.
When your purchase is complete, you will receive one email with your Delta gift card and a separate email with your Starbucks gift card. From there, you can add the Starbucks card to your account or send it to a friend (or a father) via email.
Maximize your purchase
Don't forget to use a credit card that can help you earn points or miles in addition to your free Starbucks coffee. Gift card purchases don't typically code as travel, so you are out of luck if you are trying to earn additional points for travel purchases.
However, certain cards can maximize your points earnings for gift cards, including:
- Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express
- Ink Business Cash® Credit Card (see rates and fees)
- American Express® Gold Card
- Bank of America® Customized Cash Rewards credit card
- Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi (see rates and fees)
Bottom line
Travel and Starbucks go hand in hand — and not only because most travelers stop to get a Starbucks coffee after clearing security and before heading toward their departure gate. With this limited-time deal from Delta and Starbucks, you can earn free coffee for yourself or your friends and family ... because travel and coffee are both better with loved ones.
