Get Free Stuff on Your Birthday

It’s your special day so you deserve a gift. Lots of companies offer free stuff for your birthday. In some cases, you will be required to sign up to receive emails, download an app, or sometimes join a dining or other club for free or for a fee in order to receive birthday freebies. All freebies are subject to change.

If you’re new to birthday freebies I would advise the following:

You may want to use a second email address where you can get all these offers rather than clogging up your regular email.

Check your alternate email regularly as many of these restaurants send free food deals all year long.
