If you’ve found this list, firstly; Happy Birthday! On your big day you deserve more than just one little treat. Why not bask in the abundance of free gifts from some of your favourite brands?
Prepare to save some serious cash on your birthday. All it takes is a form of I.D, a working phone, a few active subscriptions, and that birthday sparkle.
How do you get free stuff on your birthday?
Most places require you to sign up to their loyalty program to receive their birthday freebies — not a tall order, considering all the sweet treats you’re about to consume. Others might have minimum spends, or require you to be an active account holder for a period of time, so be sure to read the T&Cs to reap the benefits.
Just remember, if it’s for free, it’s for ME.
