2. 

   Starbucks can be a great first stop on your birthday freebie tour! If you're a Starbucks Rewards member, you’ll get a free drink on your birthday. This can be ANYTHING on the menu! To get the best value, order ahead on the app and hit the customize button to add in unlimited add-ons. You can rack up your drink bill and get it covered for free! The only catch is that you need to be signed up for their rewards program at least seven days before your birthday to qualify.

3. Sephora:

   

   Sephora offers a complimentary Birthday Gift to all Beauty Insider members each year during their birthday month! The best part? You have many options to choose from and the option to redeem it two weeks before or after your birthday. So, if you don’t make it to the mall on your big day, no worries! You can claim it in-store by talking to the cashier or online/in-app on any purchase (minimum $25).

4. Denny’s:

   

   A big favourite for many is heading to Denny’s for a Grand Slam on their birthday because all that is required is a valid piece of ID! No sign-ups, no rewards programs, no minimum spend. You can walk into most Denny’s restaurants and get a free Breakfast Grand Slam. Easy peasy! The only catch is that it is dine-in only.

5. Jugo Juice:

   

   Jugo Juice offers birthday rewards in Canada through their JuGO Rewards program. By joining, you receive a free small smoothie upon registration. Additionally, on your birthday, you'll receive a free large smoothie as a birthday treat. They recommend joining at least 2 weeks before your big day to be eligible!

6. Tim Hortons:

   

   Tim Hortons offers a birthday reward to its Tims Rewards members. To be eligible, you must add your birthday to your account at least seven days before your birthday.

You can redeem the offer at any participating Baskin-Robbins location, so be sure to sign up ahead of time to enjoy this sweet perk.

8. Red Robin:

   

   If you're in the mood for a juicy burger, head to Red Robin, which offers a birthday gift for members of their Royalty Program. You’ll receive a free burger on your birthday, but there is a small catch – you must make a purchase of at least $4.99 to qualify, so be prepared to buy a drink or side dish!
