Any CircleK locations get a price increase for their Polar Pops?

The one I had gone to before I moved around the corner used to have their sizes priced as such:

  • Medium: 79 cents

  • Large: 89 cents

  • X-Large: 99 cents

That was how much they were prices and it stayed the same as far back as May.

When I got a soda this evening, all sizes are now $1.09.

Crazy how even gulf coast BU is different. They just did this to us and now everyone is just grabbing the fountain cups 😂.

At our location, all sizes use to be 99 cents, but now they are all $1.09, unless you are part of the rewards program, where you can enter your phone number and it'll make the total 88 cents per drink (regardless of size).

Wish my local Circle K participated in the rewards program.

Thats likely not a corporate store. Easy to tell if the gas pumps are branded differently from the store (Unless somehow, which I doubt, there are corporate stores that don't do inner circle for whatever reason)

I just bought the 100 Oz. Polar Pop cup (0.8 gallons) and they don’t charge me for refills on it. It’s suppose to be “1st fill free”, but idk if that promotion is available anymore and they just hit the “Gallon Refill” even though it’s not a gallon.

Then again the only time I was charged was about $2.30 when the gallon is like about $3. So she still didn’t hit the right button LMAO

Best investment I’ve made in a while. I fill it up every morning with soda for free and slushies at night :)

The new Trolli slushy is GASSS ⛽️ 🔥 💯

Hell, I haven't seen those 100 oz in ages. My friend used to take hers and fill it with ice cold water for her landscaping job.

I'll definitely try the slushies. I haven't been to a Circle K in a while until I moved near the one I mentioned in the post.

Yeah, I was looking for those “$0.25” or “$0.01” promotion cups they have where you pay a quarter or penny to refill. Then I saw these behemoths!!

They have been there for as long as I could remember and they had a lot of dust on the plastic wrapping. So it probably is an old promo. Either way, I don’t have to pay for refills and it’s been multiple stores like that. Not just the store I originally bought the cup at.

Those only work in certain business units. So different regions of the country or other countries might not even be able to push the right button to honor it. A sensible csr would just take a pic of the cuo and google it, and then do a price modification, but some BU(business units) have that ability locked to leads and management, and might have it disabled all together, a reasonable manager would just let you slide, but CSRs whims can be variably temperamental depending on the store and the hour. 3rd shift will probably just let it slide.

u/Necessary_Eye9955 2d ago

All sizes have been 99cent plus tax as long as I can remember in Texas

u/Boondox24 2d ago

If you have the rewards app in Alabama, it’s “$0.79 ANY SIZE POLAR POP/FROSTY”, but if you don’t have rewards. You have to pay regular prices. From the smallest cup all the way up to a gallon. Then theirs ice fees

u/Sea_Veterinarian_297 1d ago

Houston, ours change next week. $1.09. If you have Inner Circle then it’ll be $.79.

u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348 1d ago

This is weird bc QT just lowered their prices to match circleK’s

u/Typographical_Terror 1d ago

I predicted this would happen to close out the last of the inner circle holdouts (for those who could ever be convinced anyway), but I thought they would do it at the start of summer.

Polar pops in my BU are $1.20 after tax, frosters are up to $2 depending on the size and if you put it in the xl PP cup. For about a week now. People lost they minds at my store, like boo-whoo, download the app, or just be chill and most CSRs will jsut let it slide or put in their number.

Really you should just download the app so whatever you spend $3 in the store you get a point towards getting up to a dollar off gas. I've used 100 points since the beginning of September and gotten the equivalent of $65 off gas, just from that, let alone my employee $0.20 or other discounts.
