IHOP Discount Gift Cards

Whoa! For the first time in years, IHOP has upgraded their amazing birthday freebie! We used to be limited to a free Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity pancakes stack. But now you get to pick any free stack of pancakes on your birthday! SCORE!

On top of this great free food deal every year, IHOP sends out freebies on the anniversary of joining their program. So if you were to join today, you'd get another free pancake coupon exactly one year from now, each and every year in perpetuity! This program has been kicking since I started HIF and there's no end in sight.

Be sure to check out some of the other free birthday stuff. IHOP isn't the only restaurant offering a free meal with no purchase necessary on your day of birth!

The Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken birthday freebie kinda dropped off the face of the Earth a few years ago. But not only is it back, but it's better than ever since it's a “no purchase necessary” free birthday food deal!

I've also updated the massive birthday freebies list to include a search & sort function! Let me know what you think of it.

The not-so-secret secret is Sephora's free birthday gift changes every year. After you sign up for free, you'll get an email in January announcing the new yearly birthday gift. Sometimes it contains mascara, maybe there's a highlighter, and every now and again you'll get a “top-rated” luminizer for … luminizing. But not matter what it is, I'll update this post every year as the birthday offer changes!

Remember, you can pick up your Sephora birthday present on any day within your birthday month.

Don't forget we have one of the oldest and most updated lists of birthday freebies available on the Internet. Chances are any list you find on other site's is just an older copy of ours 🙂

One of the nice things about the Finish Line birthday freebie is that you can use it either in-store or online.

It'd be nice if restaurant birthday freebies could arrange the same deal. Isn't that why drones were invented?!

It's not every week I get to start off with finding a new birthday freebie. But I love to say the Johnny Rockets birthday freebie exists! I wish it was a little better than a BOGO coupon though. Oh well, if you have a friend and it's your birthday, then stop by your nearest location and pick up some free food at Johnny Rockets!

Buca Di Beppo Discount Gift Cards

Holy moly. One of the oldest birthday freebie jokes I wrote was for this Buca De Beppo birthday freebie. I'm almost certain I wrote the joke about locating Pointy Elbow, Big Foot's lesser known cousin, in the middle of a fever dream.

However, Buca De Beppo no longer gives away a free cake anymore and that was the crux of my old joke! Fret not though, as you still get a free entire colossal brownie sundae that's huge!

Seriously, look at that thing. It could feed a family of 44, not just 4.

The Rock Bottom birthday freebie is perfect for not only depressed geologist, but anybody who likes free food. You just need to have a friend or a super big appetite!

If you're looking for even more free stuff on your birthday, you've come to the right place! If you're looking for funny cat videos, you mistyped YouTube.

Golden Corral Discount Gift Cards

I was politely asked to leave while redeeming my Golden Corral birthday freebie. Apparently they do not keep an actual golden pen filled with gold cattle which produce gold milk.

Well excuse me for taking their name literally! I can see myself out of the meat freezer, thank you very much! I should update our free stuff on your birthday list so no other Hiffers make the same mistake.

In order to get this freebie on your birthday, simply join their eclub ahead of time. Golden Corral will then email a free birthday coupon around your special day.

Caribou Coffee Discount Gift Cards

Caribous are intelligent, beautiful, majestic creatures! They heard my call! While this classic birthday freebie has been around forever, it was originally only a free medium drink. After some mild complaining on my part, they upgraded it to any drink, any size.

But now the Caribou Coffee birthday freebie is too vague for me. Does “free drink” include a whiskey neat? Because if so, that completely changes my opinion on coffee houses.

Their signup freebie may have changed since I joined in 2010. Could any Hiffers joining today please let me know what you got in the comments? Thanks!

As we're in the midst of a hot and heavy freebie drought, I figured I'd dig around and attempt to find a new birthday freebie. And boy am I glad I did, as the Old Chicago birthday freebie is a whopping $17 towards the purchase of any pizza! Time to invest in 364 fake IDs because I'm about to go on an all-pizza diet with this offer.

[thanks to the Hiffers who tipped me off to this freebie!]

I'm happy to add the Back Yard Burgers birthday freebie to our crazy huge list of free stuff on your birthday! If a free dessert sounds tasty to you, then sign up today and grab one on your birthday.

On the other hand, if a free dessert sounds disgusting to you, then there's something wrong with you and we can never be friends. Sorry, I don't make the rules. I just enforce them and eat dessert.
