Mrs. Reds received 20 in October of 2011 which expired December 31, 2011 So far neither of us have had any issues using them.

Just had one refused a few days ago on a LAX-KOA flight. FA attempted to enter it in his scanner and said he could not take it since it was expired.

No more drink tickets from SkyBonus?
Just logged in to order more drink chits, but despite having enough points, the option for beverage/headset coupons is no longer listed...
Have we seen this before? Is it an end-of-year issue?

I haven't seen this before. Hopefully, they are just waiting to print up a new batch with a Dec 31, 2013 expiration dates and the award has not been permanently dropped.

This is correct. They expire at the end of the year they are issued and Delta is trying to help save your points.

I was so surprised, and happy, to see the new expiration dates of 12/31/2014.
But there is no way these beverage coupons would even see 12/31/13
Still nice to have the option.

Thanks for the heads up on the 2014 expiration date
I'm going to order 10 in case the FA's won't accept the ones I have expiring 12/31/12. I have some left that expire on 12/31 and my last flight of the year is Friday and my upgrade has already cleared so I may be giving away a few at the gate Friday.

Apologies for resurecting an old thread but this one seemed appropriate...
I've got 60k skybonus points and it looks like my account will expire as I fall short of the $5k spending requirement (shifted a lot to US/AA) so I'm looking to spend them on drink coupons.
The terms of the Beverage or Headset Coupons (10) say "Coupons are valid through December 31st of the current calendar year."
Anyone have any recent experience that might help me know if these would expire on Dec 31, 14 (per terms) or Dec 31, 15 (per experience in this thread)?
If it's going to be this year, I'll order now and treat a plane full of people (though it seems drinks could run out if I dropped 60). I'd hate to wait to order until Dec 30th or so and then get them only to have them expire out.
Alternatively, I suppose I could play chicken with Delta and see if my points survive until January 1 and then order.
Thanks in advance for anyone sharing any recent experience they may have!
