Starting Aug. 5, eligible linked Starbucks® Rewards and Delta SkyMiles® members will earn 1 mile per $1 spent at participating Starbucks coffeehouses.

July 27, 2026

Starbucks and Delta are bringing back a fan-favorite way for members to turn their Starbucks runs into future travel.

Starting Aug. 5, linked Starbucks Rewards ® and Delta SkyMiles ® members will earn 1 mile per $1 spent at participating Starbucks coffeehouses. The update brings back a simple and intuitive way to earn rewards, making it easier for members to see their Starbucks purchases add up to their next memorable trip with Delta.

Fly. Sip. Earn. Repeat.

Since launching their loyalty partnership in 2022, Starbucks and Delta have given members the opportunity to turn coffee into travel. Now, Starbucks runs get members closer to their next adventure with miles earned for eligible Starbucks purchases. To be eligible, linked members must have flown a qualifying Delta flight within the previous 12 months.
