Dunkin’ launched its annual April Fools’ Day promotion on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, offering more than 1,000,001 free coffees to members of its Rewards program across the United States, one more than last year’s giveaway to prove that the promotion was not a prank.
According to the official announcement on Dunkin’s blog, last year the chain distributed one million free coffees, which some customers doubted. To address this, Dunkin’ increased the giveaway by one coffee this year to demonstrate the offer’s authenticity.
Rewards members could claim any size hot or iced brewed coffee (excluding cold brew and extra-large hot coffee in most descriptions) by entering the promo code StillNotAJoke in the Dunkin’ app on April 1 only. The offer was limited to the first 1,000,001 members to enter the code.
The free coffee certificate could be redeemed within seven days after entering the code, approximately until April 8. Each member could redeem one coffee only, and no purchase was required. The offer remained valid while supplies lasted.
The promotion received widespread media attention, as it returned after last year’s successful but heavily doubted giveaway. Marketing experts note that initiatives like this strengthen customer engagement and loyalty to the brand.
With this campaign, Dunkin’ turned April Fools’ Day into a real celebration for coffee lovers, proving that the promotion was genuine and not a joke for members of its Rewards program.
