Updated as of 2020 list posted here!

To make things simple I decided to make a page just for birthday freebies. While I will still probably have individual posts about them, when it’s your birthday simply come to this page and enjoy the benefits. I do insist you sign up several months in advance though so come time your birthday coupons and rewards are on their way to you so you don’t miss out!
