Dunkin' will offer free coffee on Sunday - Boston.com
The company also announced a coffee-scented candle and car freshener in partnership with fragrance brand Homesick.
www.boston.comHere’s the latest on free coffee from Dunkin.
- Dunkin has run limited-time free coffee promotions for rewards members in recent years, including large nationwide giveaways tied to promotions and events. The most notable recent example was a multi-million free coffee giveaway announced for April 2026, restricted to Dunkin Rewards members and redeemable in the app with a promo code, while supplies last. This aligns with Dunkin’s pattern of using app-based codes to deliver free coffee during special campaigns.[2][4]
- In September 2025, Dunkin promoted National Coffee Day with free coffee for Dunkin Rewards members (free medium hot or iced coffee with app purchase). This is consistent with the brand’s strategy of leveraging rewards for free coffee offers on specific days.[6]
- Coverage from 2024 also highlighted free coffee promotions tied to calendar events and national promotions, indicating a continued focus on free coffee as a marketing tactic for rewards members.[10]
What this means for you in Chicago:
- If you’re a Dunkin Rewards member, you should watch the Dunkin app for limited-time free coffee offers, especially around key promotional dates (e.g., National Coffee Day, seasonal campaigns) and any large-scale giveaways announced in the news.[2][6]
- Availability and terms vary by promotion (size restrictions, eligible drinks, and one-time use per member), so check the current offer in the Dunkin app or official Dunkin Newsroom before heading out.[9]
