The cheapest fountain drink appears to be 1.49 now. 20oz.

So if you buy this 20oz fountain you get the following free:

Twix or Snickers (for buying fountain)
Banana (for buying fountain)
M&Ms plain (free with app offer no purchase required)
Jackson's here was 99¢ any size fountain drink. Plus the free Snickers with a soda (no banana anymore). Plus the free M&Ms. Got all three for $1.08 after tax.
Try the banana- it still discounts here (there are no signs up about this anymore). That discount is automatic (before loyalty card is entered).

It seems like they must be getting incentives from M&Ms/Mars to run these promotions as I notice their free items are almost always from those brands.

I am having good luck finding the items in stock no matter what location I go to. I'm not sure if nobody takes advantage of these promotions or what.

Maverik runs free items on Friday (usually energy drinks, sometimes candy, sometimes some kind of dispenser drink usually Frazil) and they are always out of stock if it is candy by 9 AM at 3 locations I can check. This weekend their free Friday was a free small glass bottle Frappuccino (4.29 value there) any flavor and they had plenty in stock when I went to claim it at 8 or 9 PM.

I am curious how it will work Sunday.

Since Sunday is free Twix, and that overlaps with the ongoing fountain drink+free Twix/Snickers promotion. I am thinking Sunday best to run separate transactions - claim the free Twix in one .00 transaction (doesn't require any purchase), then the fountain drink/Snickers or Twix/Banana in another transaction.

These free items are really nice since no other convenience store in the San Francisco Bay Area seems to offer it. I do get a free drink once a week or something similar from Rocket Convenience stores if you use the app. AMPM has the app with the scratcher game, but rarely ever win anything. I got a free hot coffee, but I don't drink coffee.

The Grabango app at a Chevron Extra Mile in San Ramon, California still gives a $1 discount if you buy 2 items or more for using the just walk out feature.
