My birthday is in May, and soon I will have tons of emails flooding my inbox with birthday freebies. I love free birthday stuff, and I'm sure you do too!
Everyone has a birthday, and you may be able to score a lot of free birthday stuff by just flashing your birthdate on your driver's license or by signing up for a company's free email club to receive a coupon for your birthday.
Yes, you will need to sign up for a company's mailing list in order to receive birthday freebies, but if you don't want your inbox flooded you can sign up with an email address used solely for promotional emails, or you can limit the amount of mailing lists you sign up for.
Another great benefit of signing up for birthday freebies is that you often receive a free item or a discount just for signing up, as well as on the anniversary of when you signed up for their email list.
Below are 31 birthday freebies you should think about signing up for. I am not an affiliate for any of the companies below, these are all just fun, free birthday things I thought you might enjoy. Also, occasionally a company may change their birthday promotion, so if birthday freebie information becomes outdated, please let me know in the comments below.

Great list and perfect timing too, my wife’s birthday is in May as well. Right now we only have Dunkin and Starbucks rewards so we’ll have breakfast taken care of but we may want to add a spot for lunch and dinner ;)!
Yes, for sure!
Wow…. very useful list ! On my last birthday in Jan, we did all the research to identify such freebies (Obviously our list was very limited in comparison to this :-)) Next time we will just refer to this post – No more research required 🙂
Haha, I hope to make this list even longer!
This is a great list! I think I will have to compile one for in the UK 🙂
Yes, do it!
LOVE this list! There is a historic tourist town near my home, and they offer a free chicken dinner for your birthday. So yeah, winner winner chicken dinner!
Yum!
This is a great list, Michelle, thanks for putting it together. There are people in my family that love Benihana but only go their for their birthdays so they can use the $30 off voucher you get by signing up for “The Chef’s Table” program (free to sign up, just enter your email address). It’s not a free meal, but could be a good addition to your list.
Happy Birthday Month 🙂
Ree
Perfect, thanks!
If you did every single one of these, how much weight do you think you could gain in one day?
I don’t even want to know.
Awesome list 🙂 Too bad my birthday was in April, but I will be saving this for my husband’s birthday in August! Happy Friday! (the 13th) 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Getting free stuff is so fun!
I do this every year.
Awesome!
My wife belongs to Moe’s Southwest Grill. So that is our date night every August!
Nice!
Great info as usual.
Also add Golden Corral. If you are on their email list, free buffet on your bday.
Thanks!
This is going to make for one busy and delicious birthday!!! Great list!
Thanks!
Great list! There were a few I didn’t know had birthday freebies. My favorite is Baskin Robbins because they also allow you to add other family members (child, spouse, parents) to your account so they get birthday rewards as well.
Yes, that’s great!
My birthday is around the corner, so I was so happy to see this post in my inbox. Thank you for putting together this list!
Welcome 🙂
The iHOP coupon offer looks promising. I had steak, pancakes, and scrambled eggs on my mind lately and was wondering how I could possibly get a free meal once in a blue moon from them. LOL 🙂
Hahaha!
Now for the tough decision of which ones to sign up for. . . .
Thanks for the list!
I agree!
Happy Early Birthday! My birthday just passed a few weeks ago so I can’t take advantage of this but my wife’s birthday is in June so I’ll let her know!
Thank you 🙂
Such a great list and perfect timing too with my birthday coming in June! Thanks!
Yay! It’s my birthday month! Raising Cane’s gives you a free drink on your birthday and a free combo automatically loaded onto your caniac card on the anniversary of your sign up. Best.chicken.ever. 😉
My birthday is a month ago. I just wish I had known these freebies stuff. Still, thanks Michelle. I’d like to share these with my friends.
I won’t lie, I sign up for all the freebies, for all the family members, lol. They come to my email address too so i know there will be at least 4 months out of the year where my email is flooded, but I don’t mind one bit because it makes the birthday treats sweet and free!
Victoria’s Secret gives you a 10 reward card for your birthday month 😊
In Australia, we just get a boost juice on our birthday. Lol.
Great list, Michelle! The only freebie I usually “remember” to take advantage of on my birthday is my free Starbucks drink. 😉 I need to really take advantage of all of these items. Happy Birthday!
Michelle,
This is awesome. Everyone in my family has a summer birthday. This will definitely come in handy.
Every year I try to make a list of places I want to sign up to get free stuff before my birthday and every year I fail lol. This list should make life a lot easier when it comes to birthday freebies! Thanks!

The Body Shop has a rewards program where you get a discount on your tenth and twentieth purchase, always 10% discount on display of the card, and a free pick from the shop worth €10 on your birthday. Not sure if they are active outside of Europe though.
I’ve signed up for Coldstone Creamery. I think it’s buy one get one free on your birthday.
Hi Michelle! What a great site, and a great blog post! It’s both my son’s and my birthday month, so thank you so much for this, I can’t wait for the freebies to flood my inbox! (FYI I’m not sure if your CommentLuv is working, I keep getting an error).
This article is getting saved! Both of us have Summer birthdays so some of these will be perfect =)
This is awesome! Imagine if you went to all 31 places on your birthday haha.
