Friday Is 7/11, and That Means It’s Free Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven
It’s so insanely hot outside, we could really go for a Slurpee right now.
Conveniently, it turns out Friday is July 11 — 7/11 — which means it’s Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven. And that means everyone gets a free Slurpee.
It’s true. Anyone who walks into a 7-Eleven, Stripes or Speedway store on Friday can grab a small Slurpee at no charge. (All those places are owned by the same company.)
Now, here’s something new and fun: This year, 7-Eleven is debuting “Tongue-toos,” a first-of-its-kind temporary tongue tattoo activated by Slurpee. Just slurp your drink, apply the tattoo on your tongue and wait for the big reveal.
“This Slurpee Day, we’re mixing things up with new flavors, our celebratory swag and even a twist designed to mark tastebuds in the coolest way possible,” said Marissa Jarratt, executive vice president and chief marketing & sustainability officer at 7-Eleven, Inc.
Even better: If you play your cards right, you have until the end of the year to win $5,000.
Here’s the catch: To enter for the chance to win the $5,000, they want you to join their rewards club.
Want Similar Opportunities to Earn More Cash Rewards?
We’re always looking for ways to earn a few quick bucks. And here are a few of our favorite options that are similar to 7-Eleven’s rewards program.
| Offer | What You Can Earn | What You Have to Do | Take Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| InboxDollars | $225/month | Complete short surveys | |
| FreeCash | $1,000/month | Simple online tasks | |
| GoBranded | Up to $140/month | Share your honest opinion | |
| Kashkick | $1,000/month | Try out apps | |
| Solitaire Cash | Up to $83 per win | Compete against other players |
Take Advantage of Free Slurpee Day
Now through the end of the year you can join the rewards club. Loyalty members can shop, scan their rewards app and play the in-app game for a shot at $5,000.
(That’s what the whole promo is really about: Getting you into their rewards program and getting their app on your phone.)
But it’s not a bad deal. Signing up for 7Rewards and Speedway not only allows you to enter to win free sips and snacks for a year (and by making a qualifying purchase), you also can scan your rewards information on Slurpee Day and get a coupon for another free small Slurpee that you must redeem by the end of July.
Now the only question is, which free Slurpee should you get? You can’t go wrong with your classic flavors like cherry, Coca-Cola and blue raspberry. Or will you get to your nearest 7-Eleven early to snag the much-anticipated return of Mountain Dew Infinite Swirl?
And if you drink your Slurpee fast enough, you could get a brain freeze.
That should help cool you off in this heat.
