For Starbucks and Delta loyalty members, the simplest way to earn SkyMiles<\/a> won’t be as simple anymore.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta-based carrier announced on Wednesday that it is changing how SkyMiles members will earn miles from Starbucks purchases<\/a> \u2014 but it’s not necessarily all bad news.<\/p>\n

Effective June 12, eligible travelers will only receive SkyMiles on reloads of $25 or more to their Starbucks accounts. As part of the changes, Delta and Starbucks are incentivizing bigger reloads. Travelers who purchase $100 reloads will receive two miles per dollar spent \u2014 a nice bonus for those who drink lots of Starbucks.<\/p>\n

The earning rates for reloads are as follows:<\/p>\n

A Delta spokesperson noted that “the majority of members with linked accounts already reload funds to their Starbucks accounts, so the program updates allow members to easily earn miles based on how they’re ordering and enjoying their Starbucks favorites.”<\/p>\n

Since the Delta and Starbucks partnership was announced in October 2022, SkyMiles members have received one mile for every dollar spent at Starbucks.<\/p>\n

Though Delta is changing how members earn SkyMiles on eligible everyday Starbucks purchases, members will still be able to earn double stars on Starbucks purchases made the same day they travel with Delta.<\/p>\n

Note that eligible purchases are defined as purchases of food, beverages or merchandise at participating Starbucks stores, which you can find using the chain’s store locator<\/a>. Alcoholic beverages and the purchase of Starbucks gift cards do not earn bonus stars as part of the partnership.<\/p>\n
