Paying over $100 for a reusable cup at 7-Eleven 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, Big Gulp and coffee.
The reusable stainless steel Tervis tumblers 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.
