Each year, Starbucks has offered free beverages to current and former military members on Veterans Day. If you or your spouse served in the military, stop and get a free tall hot or iced coffee of your choice.
Starbucks does not require military ID verification. Veterans, servicemembers, or military spouses taking advantage of the Veterans Day offer just need to ask at the counter when they order.
While Starbucks doesn’t have a corporate-wide everyday military discount, some individual stores offer their own discounts. For example, many airport Starbucks stores participate in travel and hospitality franchise discount policies, including military discounts.
