Starbucks and Delta are shaking things up when it comes to rewards programs. Starbucks Rewards and Delta SkyMiles alone are already two of the most popular loyalty programs, and now with their newly announced partnership they could be unstoppable.
What exactly does this partnership mean for you? Plenty more free coffee and miles redeemable for flights anywhere. It's the true definition of a win-win situation.
If you're already a Delta SkyMiles and Starbucks Rewards member and reside in the U.S., all you need to do to link your accounts is visit either deltastarbucks.com or starbucksdelta.com.
Once your Delta SkyMiles and Starbucks Rewards programs are linked you'll earn one mile per $1 spent on eligible purchases at Starbucks. Additionally, on days when you have a scheduled flight with Delta, you'll earn double Stars on eligible purchases at participating Starbucks stores.
“Starbucks Rewards and Delta SkyMiles are centered on creating moments of meaningful connection, and by bringing together two of the country’s most celebrated loyalty programs we are able to reward our members with more of what they love,” said Ryan Butz, vice president, loyalty strategy and marketing at Starbucks, in a statement. “We are excited to partner with Delta to offer our members even more valuable benefits, as well as invite more customers to join Starbucks Rewards”
To add another layer of excitement to the partnership, customers who link their accounts between October 12 and December 31 will earn 500 miles, and, once they make or have made a qualifying purchase, they'll receive 150 Stars.
