Dunkin’ is marking the Super Bowl with a limited-time giveaway that could perk up thousands of caffeine fans: on Feb. 9 the chain will hand out nearly two million complimentary coffees, but only for one day and only to app users who sign in. The promotion ties directly to Dunkin’s new Super Bowl spot and a wider promotional push that includes a fan math challenge and a separate DoorDash offer for New England customers.
Here’s what matters now: if you plan to take advantage, register or open your Dunkin’ app before Feb. 9 and be ready to redeem quickly — the supply is limited and the single-use code expires once claimed.

Dunkin’ is giving away 1.995 million free coffees on Feb. 9 as a one-day promotion. The number is a nod to 1995, the year the brand first pushed iced coffee in its advertising — and the time period featured in Dunkin’s Super Bowl ad.
Only Dunkin’ Rewards members are eligible. To claim the offer, open the Dunkin’ app and enter the code GOODWILLDUNKIN. The coupon is single-use and available while supplies last.
What you can get — and what’s excluded
The free beverage applies to either a hot or iced coffee and can be redeemed in any size, per Dunkin’s announcement. There are some limits worth noting for related promotions: the separate “coffee-for-a-year” prize restricts daily credit to one medium hot or iced coffee and does not cover cold brew, nitro cold brew or espresso-based drinks.
- Date: Feb. 9 (one day only)
- Quantity: 1.995 million free coffees
- Eligibility: Dunkin’ Rewards members, in-app redemption
- Redemption code: GOODWILLDUNKIN (single-use, while supplies last)
- Exclusions for the year-long prize: cold brew, nitro cold brew, espresso beverages
More than a free cup — a fan challenge and bigger prizes
Alongside the giveaway, Dunkin’ has launched a real-world puzzle inspired by the ad campaign. The company enlisted former NFL player and MIT-trained mathematician John Urschel to craft a whiteboard math problem tied to the “Good Will Dunkin’” theme.
The first fan to solve the problem will receive collectible merchandise signed by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and a year of Dunkin’ coffee — the daily medium drink described above. Dunkin’ published contest details in a press release; official rules govern entry and prize distribution.
The Super Bowl ad and celebrity lineup
Dunkin’s commercial leans on 1990s nostalgia and includes a long list of familiar faces: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Alfonso Ribeiro, Jaleel White, Ted Danson, Tom Brady, Jasmine Guy and Jason Alexander all appear in the spot. The ad frames the brand’s iced-coffee history and is the hook for the promotional sweepstakes.
Because the promotion is event-driven, timing matters: if you want a free cup, act early on Feb. 9 and be logged into your Dunkin’ account before offers begin to circulate in the app.
Related post–game deals from DoorDash
Brands beyond Dunkin’ are offering post-Super Bowl discounts. DoorDash teamed with rapper 50 Cent on a short postgame promotion for New England customers: use the code BEEF50 on Feb. 9 to get 50% off eligible orders in participating New England cities, with a maximum discount of $10 and customary exclusions applying.
That tie-in reflects a common marketing pattern around big televised events: advertisers launch time-limited promos to capitalize on high viewership and immediate social buzz.
If you plan to take advantage of any of these offers, check the fine print in the Dunkin’ app and DoorDash terms (locations and eligibility can vary), and be prepared to act quickly on Feb. 9.
