Let's be honest. There are tons of websites listing birthday freebies. Why should you read this one?
Our list? Today, we're at FANTASTIC Birthday Discounts and Birthday Freebies status but we're aiming at the "ULTIMATE, MEGA, TOP, BEST, Birthday Discounts list because we have something the others don't bother to do. We have the Birthday Discount Schedule Chart, to help you plan your discounts quickly, without having to read and re-read and re-re-read all the fine print. If you have an offer you want to share with us so we can add it to the Birthday Discount Chart Schedule, let us know--we're happy to keep adding and building up the chart to be even more helpful than it already is. Read on to learn more about this helpful addition to Birthday Discount tracking. (And, yes, we are constantly building our list, so when we get to 50+ verified birthday discounts with at least 10% from local, small businesses, we'll update our status and let you know (sign up for our newsletter here by picking the free membership category "Coupon Lovers").
Meanwhile, you can either go to our discounts directory here (it has more than just birthday discounts in it, so pick the category "birthday discount" if you like); or you can read to the end of the article and follow the links to each birthday discount we currently have in our discount directory.
A few businesses still only allow their birthday discounts on your actual birthday; these tend to be smaller businesses without an electronic rewards program. In fact, all three of the businesses that sent us a 1-day-only birthday gift are local restaurants. Meanwhile, a few very generous chains granted birthday discounts valid for over a month, like Arby's (2 months, free fries and milkshake with purchase of sandwich, 1-time use) and Moe's Southwest Grill (3 months, a free burrito, 1-time use). Wouldn't it be nice to know the timeframes of all your birthday discount offers, so you could schedule them to spread out the savings and not accidentally let one expire? Well, yes, but someone would have to invent a Birthday Discount Chart Schedule for that. Hmmmm.....
Our researcher created this Birthday Discount Chart Schedule to help organize all of her birthday discounts, birthday freebies, and other birthday offers. It helps to know that her birthday was slightly after the middle of the month, so while a restaurant sent her a coupon on the 1st and left it valid through the end of the month, the same restaurant might use a different timeline for you if your birthday is very different, such as the first or last day of the month.
The original chart was very helpful, if you had her same birthday. Here we've erased the dates and let you do the math. (It's easy math, we promise.)
Note 1: Your "end of month" may not match with our researcher's "end of month" because her birthday was midmonth. You may want to adjust your "end of month" column to be earlier or later, depending on your birthday (or skip it and use the next nearest column instead).
Note 2: Businesses do change policies. Check the dates on your birthday offers to make certain you plan your real birthday discount schedule correctly.
Also! Our researcher did not see expiration dates on some of the offers, some because the coupon was accessed after it expired and others for other reasons. The businesses marked with an asterisk (*) were assigned a 1-week validity but we expect and hope they are valid for longer.
Have you ever noticed it's not your birthday? Sure, your birthday is once every 365 days, but what about discounts for the other 364 days? Coupons are great, but there are also everyday discounts for specific groups of people. Read more about these non-birthday discounts here.
