That being said, I have one month left on mine and I think I've used it once in the past 2-3 weeks.
Their coffee is really, really bad!
I know I can't really complain when something is free but I've gotten to where I'd rather pay for coffee that I actually enjoy drinking somewhere else.

Panera named it "Charged Lemonade" and listed the caffiene content on a sign on the dispenser. The person who died had known cardiac problems and was supposed to avoid caffiene entirely. Their death is a tragedy, but saying that Panera caused it is a bit of a stretch.
On the deal topic, my location has decent coffee, but is not close enough for lunch. The question is: Do I want to getup early to be there at 6am so I can have a cup before work?
but for real just keep a cup and nobody is gonna say shit to you. they don't even put the cup up for you. they expect you to DIY so I DIY and bounce with the same cup for a long time now. 6+ months ago. the employees dgaf, why hassle yourself with free trials

YMMV on employees that GAF. I was approached by a lady at a McDonald's for returning from the parking lot half an hour after leaving (I was checking emails and stuff on my phone) to get another refill for the road. I had been in the lobby reading the paper and getting refills. Then went out to the car to be more comfortable while checking my emails etc..
HER: "You know that's stealing, right?"
Me: Okay,I will pay for this one.
She loved her job watching out for soda theft while maintaining the lobby. She had been out there while I was first in the lobby for 15 minutes.
At pennies a serving, you would think it would not be a felony to steal a soda.
McDonald's has recently had people arrested on felony charges for filling their water cups with soda, which is blatant theft. Similar to what you are doing. ie Not paying at all for months after your sip club expired. I have done what you did with my own or their cups, but only while being a current active member. Only when they were too busy to ring me up or if the app was down and they did not have kiosks.
But I could easily put in the official order if questioned. It is skeezy enough to make a new account here and there, but all these shades of gray are different for everyone. I am pretty sure they don't intend the ease of these deals for past members since it states for new members only. So I am not saying I am any holier than though. just less likely to have any problems with any employees who might really get off on policing us.
Take my experience to heart or not. Best of luck to you. I am not here to judge.

I do not know how you could circumvent that requirement for free.
But if you really need or want a brand new gmail address for other reasons:
I have used the Burner app (not free), which gets you a phone number that will ring to your phone.
Or open a new line with a carrier of your choice, and you could either get a new phone for it or a line you can swap sim cards or e-sims in and/or out of your phone. I like Redpocket for a backup phone which you can get for $30 per year on eBay [ebay.com].

However, the response that this moronic soda police woman would've received from me is, NO, it isn't "stealing" because I was still on the premises! Instead of walking away with YOUR tail between YOUR legs, she would be walking away with HER tail between HER legs (because she's full of crap)!
Additionally, where are you getting this nonsense about it being a "felony" to steal a few ounces of soda?? I'm not defending doing so, but, at worst, it's a misdemeanor and would go into the "least likely to prosecute" file! "Blatent theft" isn't automatically a "felony". That's just more nonsense that they perhaps made up just to intimidate the lowlifes that do that sort of thing on a daily basis!
I understand the google trick.....this will extend my existing another 90 days?
