Paying over $100 for a reusable cup at [7-Eleven](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-slurpee-day) may seem like a high price but the convenience store chain is selling limited-edition tumblers that include a year's worth of free beverages. The limited-edition cups are available in large sizes and are decorated in designs to represent signature drinks like [7-Eleven's Slurpee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7eleven-slurpee-day), Big Gulp and coffee.

The [reusable stainless steel Tervis tumblers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-stainless-steel-bottle) can only be purchased online and those who are lucky enough to get their hands on the limited-edition items are eligible for unlimited refills throughout 2020.

Like 7-Eleven, other businesses are experimenting with giving consumers the chance to pay a large upfront cost in order to enjoy unlimited food or drinks over the long term.
