Earn 2,000 Delta SkyMiles on Your Upcoming Starbucks Visits

Just as pumpkin spice latte season kicks off, Starbucks and Delta have unveiled a new promotion offering coffee lovers and frequent flyers a chance to earn 2,000 bonus SkyMiles.

Since October 2022, the two brands have collaborated, allowing loyalty program members to link their accounts and earn one SkyMile for every dollar spent at Starbucks, alongside double Stars (Starbucks points) on purchases made while flying with Delta.

With the latest offer, the rewards are even better. If you visit Starbucks twice in one week before September 12, 2023, you’ll receive 1,000 bonus SkyMiles—equivalent to the miles earned on a one-way flight from Seattle to San Diego.

To earn these miles, you’ll need to set up a SkyMiles account and a Starbucks Rewards account if you haven’t done so already. Then, simply link the accounts on the partnership website, deltastarbucks.com, by entering your name, SkyMiles number, and Starbucks login details. Don’t forget to enroll in the promotion on Delta’s site—your seven-day countdown starts the moment you click enroll, so be prepared.

To qualify, simply make two purchases at Starbucks totaling at least $2 each (excluding taxes and tips) within that week, using the payment method linked to your Starbucks Rewards account or by scanning the barcode in the Starbucks app at checkout. Eligible purchases include food, drinks, and merchandise, but not gift cards.

Once you've earned your initial 1,000 miles, you'll be automatically entered into a follow-up promotion. Expect an email from Starbucks and Delta detailing that if you make three additional qualifying purchases within the next seven days, you’ll earn another 1,000 miles. This means you could accumulate a total of 2,000 miles for five qualifying purchases.

Keep in mind that while you can use these points for future travel (they should show up in your SkyMiles account within 10 business days), the bonus miles won't contribute to Medallion Status or Million Miler Status with Delta. There’s a one-time limit on this offer, but the existing partnership continues, allowing you to earn SkyMiles and Starbucks Stars as before.
