Participating Stores And Schedule
Not every 7-Eleven location takes part in Bring Your Own Cup Day, so checking nearby store hours and participation is important. Call ahead or check the store website to confirm they are joining the promotion and that their fountain machines are in service.
Menu Limitations And Drink Options
On Bring Your Own Cup Day, the focus is on fountain cold drinks like soft drinks, iced tea, and flavored water. Hot coffee, espresso beverages, and fresh food items are not included in this promotion, even if the store normally sells them.
Payment And Discounts Clarification
Using a reusable cup on this day does not automatically apply discounts at checkout, and it does not replace standard loyalty rewards. Payment for other menu items and any fees not covered by the promotion should still follow normal checkout procedures.
