How to score a free coffee at Starbucks this week? The deal explored

Many people think that the Monday after "Super Bowl Sunday" is just a very tough day. Whether one stayed up late to watch the game, went to social gatherings, or simply enjoyed game-day snacks, it's often tiring. To help customers start the week, Starbucks has rolled out a free coffee promotion.

The offer is expected to provide free brewed coffee for the Starbucks Rewards members on Monday, February 10, 2025. While similar promotions have been offered in the past, details on the exact execution of this year’s promotion may still be subject to change. Here's everything so far about this offer, its redemption process, and what the deal includes.

What exactly is the deal?

Starbucks Rewards members in the United States can enjoy a free tall iced or hot brewed coffee (12 ounces) at participating Starbucks locations on February 10, 2025.

Keep in mind that it only offers free standard brewed coffee and not other specialty beverages including espresso-based, cold brew, or nitro cold brew drinks.

Customers can also redeem the free coffee using a coupon in the Starbucks app titled 'Starbucks Monday.' For orders placed ahead, the coupon should be applied during checkout. If ordering in-store or through the drive-thru, customers can mention their intention to use the offer at the register. However, it's a good idea to verify the policy at each store, as participation may vary.

Those who are not yet members but wish to participate in the offer must sign up before 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on February 9, 2025.

Limitations and exclusions

Free coffee sounds pretty good, but there are some limits to consider in such an offer.

Size Restriction – The offer is limited to a 12-ounce (tall) hot or iced brewed coffee. Larger sizes, such as grande and venti, are not included.

Beverage Excluded – Cold Brew, Nitro Cold Brew Reserve, Lattes, mochas, among others that would be an Espresso-based beverage.

Customization Charges – Any syrups, milk alternatives, or extra espresso will likely incur an extra charge.

One Per Customer – This offer can only be redeemed once by a Starbucks Rewards member, and the offer cannot be combined with other discounts or rewards.

Store Participation – Even though Starbucks has been doing promotions just like this, not every store participates so it is better to verify with the local store.

Offer available only for a single day with the requirement for redemption on February 10 by the customer.

Availability may vary by store, which may cause confusion.

This free coffee during Super Bowl season is Starbucks' way to acknowledge the post-Super Bowl slump and offer customers a small incentive to start the week. However, understanding eligibility requirements, limitations, and how to redeem will be essential to a hassle-free experience.

Customers who want to take the deal should check the app for the coupon, and confirm their participation at a local store, if necessary. Given that this promotion is time-sensitive, setting a reminder for February 10 may be useful for those who do not want to miss out.
