Save Money on Your Birthday

Happy Birthday! Here is a list of companies that provide freebies or discounts on your birthday, or during your birthday week or month (and sometimes on your half birthday). Every promotion is different so make sure to check out the fine print. Most require you to download their app or sign up for a customer membership in advance, as this is how the rewards are distributed and managed. Some may require you to be a current customer with a full price purchase made within a specific period of time prior to your birthday.

Suffice it to say, you will need to browse the list and plan ahead when creating your birthday haul plan.

Most offers are good only for the day of your birthday. Others may offer a week or two, and a few are good for your entire birth month. Some companies want your membership account set up a month or so in advance of your birthday.

Birthday freebies and offers can change at any time and may not be honored by certain franchise locations. It is best to ask before ordering. The following list will show the name of the establishment, what the birthday offer is, and what is needed to get the freebie.
