Iced Drink Rewards Apps

The 7-Eleven App Lets Users Redeem Free Slurpees, Coffees, and More

— July 18, 2017 — Business
7-Eleven is turning 90 years old in 2017, and the massive chain of convenience stores is showing just how much it's grown in that time with the high-tech 7-Eleven app. The app, which is available on iOS and Android devices, allows regular customers to keep track of their shopping and earn rewards like free Slurpees and coffees in exchange for frequent purchases.

As part of a special promotion in honor of its birthday, 7-Eleven dubbed July 11th (i.e. the eleventh day of the seventh month) 7-Eleven day. The chain gave away free small Slurpees to all comers on that day, but the giveaways continue for those with the 7-Eleven app. Any user who scanned the app to purchase seven Slurpees between July 12th and 18th receives their next 11 free — an unprecedented deal.

Beyond all this, the 7-Eleven app also offers year round free coffees. For every six coffees purchased by scanning the app at checkout, the seventh is free.
