Haven’t used the drink coupons in a while, but have a flight coming up when I may want to. Looked in my wallet and there are 4 coupons there, but none of them have a QR code or number. Just says Drink voucher, thanks for being a medallion member, enjoy a drink on us. Does anyone know how this works?

I’ve got 8 expiring 1/31/20. I will not use these (all my travel in January is going to be J), so I’m happy to offload them to anyone else.
PM me, I’ll give 2 per PM
All gone!

Was fortunate to either be C+, F, or flying internationally on all my flights this year so still have a bunch left and my January travel is international. I've got somewhere between 4 and 6 (I thought I gave a couple away to colleagues but perhaps they were never used since they still show up in my DL wallet -- will need to check).
In any case send a PM and will give 2 per PM until I run out.

It's that time of year so on my trip Fri I will wait til the comfort cabin boards then search out an aged couple and give them a couple of drinkies for their flight. I often get a strong thank you as they brush by my seat in first while boarding making their way to the back

I have 40 extra drink coupons expiring in the next 30 days. What should I do?
I don’t know the reason why I was given 50 drink coupons a year and a half ago. Whatever the reason, I only managed to use 9 of them (mostly to give to friends) since I’m always in C+ or F.
I have 41 left and looking for ideas to use them since they expire at the end of January. I’m thinking about printing them and giving them out to Y passengers as they board on my NYE flight. I think I’d slip the flight attendant a $20 or $50 for the trouble though.
Thoughts? Is that even allowed?

While the idea sounds like a really nice gesture, I think that it would be an issue to have 40+ passengers who otherwise wouldn't drink deciding to be merry in the same plane. Flight attendants might not be too happy, and I'm not sure if it would be legal for them to take money from a passenger.
Might I suggest a Flyertalk gift scheme?

There is nothing inappropriate about giving the vouchers to fellow passengers. I don't believe that DL permits FA's to accept tips and it really is not necessary.
Likely that those 39 other passengers would have ordered something anyway and whether it was alcohol, soda, water, or coffee really is not a material matter for the FA's (although you do want to be closer to the front as this will certainly run popular booze dry on smaller aircraft).

AKA as "we deserve them more" LOL!
May I suggest that what the OP is doing is fine. honestly one drink isn't going to make the plane a flight full of drunks as long as you don't give all 40 to the same group of 5 people determined to tie one on.
