Get Free Stuff on Your Birthday – And Year Round

CONGRATULATIONS!!!  You made it through another year of life.

And to reward yourself you should get a bunch of birthday freebies. Most of these programs you sign up for a rewards club at each website and get an e-mail near your birthday to get the free stuff.

Sometimes they will even give you a nice freebie just for signing up. This is one of my favorite ways to save money throughout the year.

Strategy for Getting Free Birthday Stuff

So this is how I deal with this GIANT list.  Instead of signing up for all these programs and giving them my actual birthday, I make up different days throughout the year.

Aside from privacy issues, this allows me to get birthday freebies ALL YEAR LONG.  I get so many offers throughout the year that it has become a running joke.

Someone asks me where I am going for lunch, I tell them whatever restaurant sent me an emailed coupon for free food in the last couple of weeks, and then declare, “It’s my birthday!”.

Whether you decide to take all your birthday freebies in your birth month or spread them out, you can save a ton of money when you take advantage of all these places that give free stuff for your birthday.
