Buy Starbucks and Get Delta Miles!

Starbucks and Delta are teaming up again for a SkyMiles promotion!

Starting on August 5, 2026, customers who link their Starbucks Rewards and Delta SkyMiles will earn 1 mile for every $1 spent at participating Starbucks locations.

However, not everyone will be earning this reward.

How to start earning SkyMiles

Here is where a lot of people won’t get to participate.

Eligible Starbucks purchases will count toward SkyMiles, but to qualify, you must have flown with Delta in the past 12 months.

Double Stars on Delta travel days

Double Stars on Delta travel days will continue for eligible linked members. Those individuals can earn Double Stars on Starbucks purchases made on days when they have a scheduled Delta flight.

How to sign up:

First, join Starbucks Rewards and Delta SkyMiles, if you haven’t already done so.

Then link your accounts at deltastarbucks.com.

Did you know that there is a secret menu drink inspired by Delta’s famous cookie?

Everyone can give this drink a try. No sign-ups or flights within the past year are required.

The dreaded fine print

“Excludes taxes, gratuities, gift cards, and alcoholic beverages. Miles can only be earned by flight-active SkyMiles members who have flown a qualifying Delta here flight within the previous 12 months. Newly linked members are eligible to earn for the first 12 months and will need to take a qualifying Delta flight to continue earning beyond that date.
