I love Birthdays! I love Freebies! I double love birthday freebies. Today, I rounded up 15 of my favorite freebie programs available to help you celebrate your special day without footing a big ole bill. As a general rule, I use an email account exclusively for freebies and coupons so that I don’t end up with too much in my inbox.
Starbucks
My Starbucks Rewards is probably one of my favorite programs. You get rewarded for drinks and when you’re on the Green and Gold levels, you can also get free refills of coffee and tea when you’re in store. Best of all, you score a FREE drink on your birthday. Get the most expensive, biggest beverage on the menu just for me.
Dunkin’ Donuts
Dunkin’ Donuts has a similar program – DD Perks – where you can score a free medium beverage during your birthday month. It’s nice to be able to spread your freebies out and celebrate over a number of weeks.
IHOP
Start your day with a FREE breakfast at IHOP when you join the Pancake Revolution.
McAlister’s Deli
Sign up for McAlister’s Deligrams and snag a $5/$5 coupon on your birthday. I typically get a gallon of tea to go, pay a few pennies, and go about my merry birthday business.
Noodles & Company
I’m not big on birthday freebies where you actually have to pay money for something. i.e. buy an entree and get a dessert for free. So I love Noodles & Company’s offer of a free entree, no purchase necessary. You have to be enrolled for sixty days to cash in so sign up for Noodlegram today.
Firehouse Subs
You don’t even need to sign up for this one! Receive a FREE medium sub from Firehouse Subs when you simply show your ID on your birthday. More details can be found here.
Au Bon Pain
Your lunch is on the house at Au Bon Pain for your birthday. Sign up for their eClub and also snag a FREE travel mug.
Panera
Join myPanera to collect rewards on your regular purchase and get a mystery surprise automatically loaded to your card on your birthday.
Baskin-Robbins
This birthday club gets your choice of thirty-one flavors. You’ll receive an e-mail with a coupon good for a 2.5 oz scoop (just a sweet little treat).
Culvers
Join Culvers’ eClub and get a FREE one scoop sundae on your birthday.
Maggie Moo’s
Maggie Moo’s offers you a free kiddie cone. Simply join the MaggiE-mail.
Dippin’ Dots
It’s the ice cream of the future but you can score some for free on your birthday. You’ll receive a free small cup when you join the Dot Crazy Rewards Club.
Buffalo Wild Wings
Finish your day with a sweet treat and FREE dessert at Buffalo Wild Wings when you sign up for their eClub.
Brio Tuscan Grille
While there’s not one in my area, this is a fantastic freebie. Get a FREE filet and crab shrimp cake when you sign up for My Brio Mail.
Swagbucks
It’s my favorite rewards program. Swagbucks rewards you for your routine internet searches. On your birthday, you get 50 Swagbucks. It only takes 450 to snag a $5 Amazon gift card. You could earn that in no time at all!
