Get free stuff on your birthday. Birthday freebies used to be more generous but hey free is still free. You will be required to sign up to receive emails and in some cases join a dining or other club for free or for a fee in order to receive birthday freebies. All freebies are subject to change.
Covid alert 5/14/2021: I saw some of these deals come through in 2020 but I didn’t receive others. Since most restaurants barely survived last year I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve suspended or canceled these deals. Many restaurants are closed either temporarily or permanently so call your location first and make sure it’s still there before heading out. Happy birthday!
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. Interested in more free food? Get discount food year round.
- To guard against identity theft I never use my real birth date. The only restaurant that ever checked my ID was Au Bon Pain.
- Almost no one can eat 20 plus free meals, desserts etc. in one month, so spread out your rewards over many months by using different birth dates. Then you can actually use the rewards.
