How to Get Birthday Freebies

While snagging free birthday goodies or discounts isn't complicated, various companies may require different things of you before you can celebrate. So update your information early, whether it's by signing up for loyalty or rewards programs, getting on mailing lists, or downloading an app. That way, you don't miss out! And sometimes you can simply show up with a valid ID and smile — it never hurts to ask!
