As you may have noticed in 2020, the pandemic put a damper on the traditional annual Slurpee Day. Last year, instead of being able to stop in at any 7-Eleven store to take advantage of a free Slurpee, employees passed out a coupon voucher to each person in early July for one free Slurpee to be used within a certain period of time. That worked, since everybody got one voucher. But this year, it’s even more disappointing.
July 11th (07-11) is the official birthday, but this year, 7-Eleven is offering just one free small Slurpee any time in the month of July using the 7-Eleven Rewards app. Ugh! That means my younger kids don’t get one at all this year. They don’t have phones. Too bad. And hubby doesn’t use the app and won’t go get one himself, either. So I guess I’m the only one in the family getting a free Slurpee this year. Bummer!
Gone are the days of store-hopping…one of the fondest memories my kids have of growing up, seeing how many empty cups we could rack up in one day. We would even take our neighbor and her kids around with us! Who knows if they’ll ever bring back the traditional 7-Eleven Day again. Call it yet another a casualty of the pandemic, much like 20-oz. bottles of Cherry Coke Zero…no more to be found, either. Sigh.
So remember…if you want your one free small Slurpee this month, you’ll need to use your 7-Eleven Rewards app!
Enjoy!
