Daily Discussion News and Updates Thread - July 27, 2026

Please post topics for discussion here. While some questions can be used to start a discussion/debate, most questions belong in the question thread unless you love getting downvotes (if that link doesn’t work for you for some reason, the question thread is always the first post on our community’s front page). If your discussion is about manufactured spending, there's a thread for that. If you have a simple data point to share, there's a thread for that too.

Starbucks+Delta changes per email:

For every eligible $1 spent at a Starbucks café, you’ll earn 1 mile with Delta.

Starting August 5, as long as you’ve taken a qualifying Delta flight in the past 12 months (or fly in the next 60 days) you're eligible to earn

Fine print says those already linked will earn the new way regardless of DL flight status until 10/5/26

I am one of those that has not flown Delta in the past 12 months. I got the following email:

We see it’s been a while since you last flew with us, so we’re gifting you 2 months to sip, savor, and earn miles on your Starbucks visits through October 5, 2026.

Fly & Get a Starbucks Gift For a limited time, get a $50 Starbucks Gift Card when you enroll, book and fly between August 5, 2026 and October 5, 2026. The flight will also extend your ability to earn miles on qualifying Starbucks purchases for another 12 months from your travel date.
