You can choose a physical or digital card. If you choose a digital card, there are a variety of designs to pick from. You’ll then select your gift card amount, which must be more than $300 to qualify for the Starbucks promotion.
After adding the Delta gift card to your cart, you should see a “Promotions” section that displays the $20 digital Starbucks gift cards.
When your purchase is complete, you will receive one email with your Delta gift card and a separate email with your Starbucks gift card. From there, you can add the Starbucks cards to your account or send one to a friend (or mom) via email.

Don’t forget to use a credit card that can help you earn points or miles in addition to your free Starbucks coffee.

However, there are certain cards that can maximize your points earnings for gift cards, including:
Bottom line
Travel and Starbucks go hand in hand — and not only because most travelers stop to get a Starbucks coffee after clearing security and before heading toward their departure gate. With this limited-time deal from Delta and Starbucks, you can earn free coffee for yourself and a friend … because travel and coffee are both better with friends.
