This year, you can get a total of three free Slurpees beginning July 1 and lasting through July 11. According to 7-Eleven, the following folks are eligible for these rewards:

But it doesn’t stop there. In addition, customers who order via 7NOW® Delivery can enjoy another FREE Slurpee drink on July 8.
And of course, anyone can get a free Slurpee drink in-stores on July 11, 7-Eleven’s birthday.”
