2025 Birthday Freebies – Get Some Surprises on Your Special Day
Get free stuff—just for being born! If you’re paying for food on your birthday, you’re doing it wrong! These restaurants, retailers, and more offer special discounts and freebies on your birthday.
Birthday Freebies – Get Some Surprises on Your Special Day
Happy Birthday to you!! We all like to get something special on our birthday. And who wouldn’t? I have scoured the web and found a great list of birthday freebies & birthday clubs offered by many restaurants, coffee bars, ice cream parlors, and more.
This list will make you feel special. Some of these freebies can be redeemed during the month of your birthday, and not just the actual day. You can celebrate all month long for sure. Make sure you are signed up for these programs before your birthday to claim your freebies.
Signing up for these offers requires you to join most company’s newsletters. I have joined almost every offer below. I log into the email account on the first day of my birthday month and check out all the free offers that have rolled in.
Please remember: all offers are subject to location participation.
A-F Stores & Restaurants
As always, I recommend setting up a separate junk email folder. This way you use it for these kinds of emails that you sign up for. Here is your cheat sheet, loaded with birthday freebies from Applebee’s, Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, and many others.
