Coffee+Breakfast:
- Starbucks: Whether you’re an iced coffee lover or want to commemorate the day with a birthday cake pop, if you’re a Starbucks Rewards member, you’ll receive a complimentary drink or food item of your choice on your big day. But you have to join the rewards program at least seven days in advance and make at least one star-earning transaction.
- IHOP: Go big or go home! When you join the IHOP Rewards Program, you get a free full stack of pancakes on your birthday.
- Krispy Kreme: If you have a sweet tooth, Krispy Kreme is the perfect birthday stop. Sign up a month earlier for the rewards program and you’ll get the offer of three original glazed donuts on the first day of your birthday month, which won’t expire until the last day of the month.
- Corner Bakery Cafe: Join the Corner Bakery Rewards program to get a free birthday pastry or dessert. Their muffins and scones make an excellent breakfast treat.
Lunch/Dinner:
- Jersey Mike’s: Enjoy a good sub? Sign up for their emails and Jersey Mike’s will give a free sub on your birthday as long as you have purchased another sub with your account in the past year.

- Carl’s Jr: Home of the starfish nuggets, download the app and get a free entree with the purchase of at least $1.
- Buffalo Wild Wings: If you’re a fan of chicken wings, Buffalo Wild Wings offers its reward members six free wings during their birthday month. This award is only available through the app.
Dessert:
-
- Chick-fil-A: if you have ever been to Chick-fil-A and have not tried one of their desserts, now is the chance. If you are a person who rarely ever uses the app, you will get a brownie or cookie. However, higher tier members can get more valued options.
- Baskin Robbins: If your birthday is during the summer and you want a chillier treat, then sign up online for Baskin Robbins Rewards and opt-in for the “birthday scoop” to receive a free scoop on your birthday.
- Sprinkles: Not only is Sprinkles one of the most decadent cupcakes around, but if you have signed up for the Sprinkles rewards program and have at least bought something once, then on your birthday you will receive a free cupcake!
Birthdays come once a year, so why not make the most of it with these freebies? From morning coffee to free dessert, these are just another fun way to celebrate the day of you. So grab your phone, start signing up for those reward programs and enjoy a full day of goodies.
