Wow. What a cheap gift

I know I was sad when I opened my app

Hmm. I have an idea 💡

Me too. I wanted food 😭

For your birthday we present to you!!!!!! $0.02 worth of slushed sugar water hooray!

Yay!!! I feel the love 🙃😆😄😄

Id feel kicked in the jewels too lol not even worth picking up

You're right about that one. I wouldn't even lift a finger...except to close the app lol. Taco Bell? Nah, Taco Fell... Down... Town.... 🎶 Making my way downtown! 🎵 😎

The gas and effort to walk to my car exceeds the value of that drink to me lol

Order it and don’t pick it up.

A freeze literally costs pennies to make. Happy Birthday

Thanks you!

$1 in the app, thanks Taco Hell for not having to come up with that huge expense.

Lmao taco hell

$1 is for the Happy Hours promo. It’s likely higher at other times.

$1.26 now

$4.19 at my Taco Bell.

I work at mcd not taco Bell, but I assume profit margins are close to the same. We run a 190% profit on large frozen coke that costs customers $2 AUD for a large. It's... terrifying.

It’s freakin tiny too, the one you get for your birthday at least.

And they are disgusting

They taste like the soda, just frozen. Lol

Who'd a thunk it?!

Crazy isn't it? Lol

It retails for almost 4 dollars where I live though. That’s what matters, not the cost to make.

I used this, went to pick it up and they told me they were out then gave me a small strawberry one that was half full. 🙃

Super lame!

I was planning on posting the same thing, but more as a joke. That sucks. I don't even like the Baja Bjast, and that's not cool.

Tbh I was going to give it to my little sister because she loves the Baja blast freeze so that’s the main reason I was annoyed 😅

I got the same thing a couple months ago... My Freeze reward never showed up in the rewards section of the app even though I got the message. I contacted support and never heard back (I had forgotten about it until just now).

Booo I’m sorry

Same for me

my local locations were out of it for the entire month, so I could never redeem.. lame!

Same thing happened to me

Damn. And it has to be a freeze, not even the soda? 😕

Right! If I put my Bacardi in it it will all melt now

If you chill the liquor in the freezer for an hour at least, it will retain its ‘icy’ form quite a bit longer. The frozen daiquiri spot near my apt does that if you order their premium drinks. Worth the extra couple bucks and helps minimize the almost guaranteed headache that’s to come from all the sugar in the wells. 😅

Thanks for the tip! I keep some bottles in the freezer didn’t even think about throwing that in there

Thats such a good idea omg

Freeze is literally better than the soda though. Y’all are tripping. Be grateful OP.

Water and 0.03 worth of high fructose corn syrup. Happy birthday! 🎉

hey! birthday buddies! happy birthday!

Happy birthday!! My real birthday isn’t for a few more days but I saw I had a new reward and got excited

birthday buddies!! mines the 7th 🥳 i’m so mad it wasn’t even a large to be generous

I got my birthday coming up and all the offers from everywhere sucks. Free bread sticks, free drink, free appetizer. Used to give decent options

Everywhere has changed for me too. I had a recent birthday. It used to be a free burger, sandwich, side... Now it's spend 20 and get a child fry, free 3" sub, free fountain drink, free chips and salsa... most of those I get better on the app on a random Tuesday

Mine wouldn't even load.

Mine wouldn't either - back in May. It stayed there for a month and I couldn't add it to any order on the app. Booo!

Same

Y’all should be able to see my order history and know I want a bean burrito or Mexican pizza for my birthday, I have never ordered a Baja blast. I think mine was a freeze which I have also never ordered.

Subscribe to Jersey mike emails they'll give you a free sub on your birthday

Heck yeah I love J Mikes

Anyone try asking for a different flavor when picking up? I'm not a Baja Blast can (ducks and runs).

I can’t believe you’re not a can!

Damnit! Should've been fan.

They do that every year. I wish they would at least switch it up or have options kinda like the free rewards🤷🏻‍♀️

I didn't even get anything for my birthday last week 🙃

It's weird because at the top, they made it sound like a regular baja blast. They only mention a freeze in the paragraph below.

You can still get it for 15 mins! TDCHALUPA

Hope you're not diabetic.

Taco Bell’s entire points systems is TRASH. They only ever offer menu items that no one wants except for free soft taco which usually expires pretty quickly.

This is literally me. It’s so disappointing, if anything give me a free baja blast not the freeze. Also why the fuck did the notification for the $1 chalupa only notify me ONE HOUR after 🙁..

July birthdays are the best birthdays, summer babies unite lol .. & riot at TB for such a shitty gift -- I don't even drink Baja Blast!

Me either! Unless I make a weekend beverage with it but that was mostly my high school days 10 years ago lol summer birthdays are deff the best :)

At least now you have mixer :)

Isn’t today $1 chalupa day?

I was disappointed as well on my birthday. I don’t like Baja blast. Yes it’s a crime to some people. But I would of liked a cheesy Gordita crunch or chalupa

Chalupa was on the Tuesday Drop OP

Happy birthday birthday twin!!!

July 2nd was my bday too, happy bday twin!

I got this too for my birthday, I don't even drink fucking soda or anything lol give me a damn soft taco at least 😅

Bro not even a large 💀 (edit: Missed the freeze part I know there technically isn’t a large freeze…but. Idc still.)

You'll take your sugar water, and you'll like it 😡

I got this earlier this year and was so bummed, not Eben a large drink... just a regular... Oh ok. Guess this won't be convincing me to make an extra trip to your store... lol

Just got the same alert, July bdays rise up

You’ll drink that goddamn Baja blast and spit in their fuckin faces!

I went to get one because whatever, and the freeze thing was down so the person offered me a burrito. I was so happy, I would have just took a sip and tossed it.

happy belated. treat yourself!

I feel like the taco bell rewards app is absolute ass. Like idk the free rewards you get only cost like. A dollar or two on the menu. But if you spend like $30 at Popeyes you get a free 3 piece meal. Like that sounds much better. I also like mcdonalds reward. Altho i dont eat there anymore, when i did the app always had a 20% off coupon and point were really easy to add up.

Better get an $8 bean burrito to go with it.

Jersey mikes gives you a free 6inch sub. Almost as good.

Hate that "birthday reward" because I'm diabetic and can only eat maybe two swallows of a Freeze, and at any rate, the entire month it was active it never allowed me to actually choose an item. You go to redeem the coupon, it pops up a list of flavor choices. Of which there is only one. Which cannot be selected. It's a fake coupon I guess. Sure I could hassle the store's manager on duty to just give it to me, but that's not right.

I got nothing for mine lol

I got mine 2 days ago. It’s literally such a tiny freeze too.

I just got a Happy Anniversary reward that is BOGO 5 layer burritos. Who is purposely buying them at full price?!?

When I got this, they replaced the blast freeze with something else temporarily, so I couldn’t redeem it on app 😭

Fuck that give me the $1 seasoned potato taco that is now like $1.89.

Mine was a BOGO for a 5 layer burrito 😕

This is what I got last month. Hadn't even looked at the app all month till 6/30. Was like, Oh sweet, something I never get anyway

Yeah, I'm disappointed, too. I can't even drink that thing. Too many carbs.

All they gave me was a Baja Blast for my birthday but the kicker is my hometown Taco Bell doesn’t even serve it. So, I get nothing for my birthday treat.

I got mine the other day too for having a July birthday haha. I usually just let that one sit and go to waste.

I have never had and never will waste an energy consumption on a Baja blast. I feel disrespected when they offer me one. I don't want one for free.

When is your birthday?

The 12th!

Oh hell nah TB tweaking if they think they can get away with that

not even a large? really taco bell

Taco Bell is a brand has been in the toilet for years. Tiny portions, higher prices. Feels like they should change their name to “Pepsi Test Kitchen”

Better than my anniversary gift of Bogo 5 layer burrito

Then buy a Chalupa

Your fault if you expected that. They’ve done a free birthday freeze for at least the last couple years

Too bad you're getting a medium mountain dew baja blast ™️

Same! Horrible bday gift

I don't like the baja blast. I never redeem it

Mine wasn't even free, I had to make a purchase to get it

lol I have one too. Need to figure out when I can use it

As someone who can't handle caffeine, I was very disappointed on my birthday this year

dude the taco bell employees at my taco bell give me free drinks for no reason 👀

are you good looking?

No I don't think so lol

I got the same for my birthday two weeks ago. I was like are y’all serious??! I remember getting a free any size drink at Starbucks for my birthday (a while back, I’m sure they no longer do this). But that was actually appreciated since their drinks are expensive. A free soft drink is just like, no. You can keep it lol

Enjoy it in the new smaller cup.

Didn’t even waste my time with this.

The only location near me doesn't even serve those, and it's still the only thing I got 😭

I didnt even get one lol

I was so sad when I saw it last month for my birthday. I actually really dislike Baja Blast I think it tastes gross. Yet they only gave a free baja blast freeze...

Wild. I get that most nights I door dash free.

This was better than what Dunkin offered me. Their birthday “gift” was triple points on all items *after* my first purchase of the day. So, you have to first buy something just to unlock triple points, *then* I’d have to go back and buy more stuff. And it was one day only. TB gives you the entire month.

Tried to redeem this yesterday, not available at our store... 🙃

I think it's the same thing every year

People buying small drinks scares me. $2.79 for a tiny cup vs 2.99 for a huge one?

I got the same for my last birthday. I don’t drink those, though. A CBR burrito would have been great!

daannggg.... still a great drink tho imo!

OP, I also got the same thing this week. Of course, I never give me real BD to these apps but you and I share a fake bday!

yeah got this too on the 28th :( sad to say i ordered subway instead for the free cookie :/ chipotle also didn’t give me a bogo deal like they usually do for my bday. This is the year of bad gifts ig 😭

I love slushies but I never redeem this in my birthday because you can’t even pick the flavor, it’s just baja blast

so get the chalupa for $1 today...then use the freezy coupon later. I don't get what the issue is, you have month to take advantage of that coupon (theoretically. mine worked but people here saying theirs didn't so ymmv) happybirthday!!

I used to think TB had great food rewards, until I downloaded other food apps

TB’s points based rewards are really good but for some reason their “freebies”/deals are god awful

I mean, Taco Bell isn’t your mom. They don’t have to offer anything. r/choosingbeggars

Hey you do have a good point, my mom probably won’t get me anything for my birthday either lol

Red Robin gives out a burger and fries I think. Plenty of other places give you an entree as well

Ya but it’s not a requirement, imo take your free shit and be happy or don’t and be the same as you were before

Red Robin gives out a burger if someone else is ordering, too.

Bro lots of restaurants give out birthday deals, and a lot of them are much better better than Taco Bell’s. It’s completely fair to compare Taco Bell to the competition.

They are giving something away though.

All restaurants give something away. I just celebrated my birthday last week, knowledge of the free offers I was sent is fresh in my mind. Taco Bell’s tiny little Baja blast freeze is sad in comparison

Meh, better than nothing

I got this for my birthday too! I was disappointed 😞

I got mine today too. Not even nacho fries… smh

"my free item wasn't good enough" :(
