Zaxby's Discount Gift Cards

During the first decade (!) of running our birthday freebies list, Zaxby's birthday freebie was one of the rare companies that snail mailed their free birthday meal coupon each year. However, they've finally joined the 21st century and now run their birthday promo via their app!

Steak ‘n Shake Discount Gift Cards

Oh, you have got to be kidding me! Steak ‘n Shake's birthday freebie sounds delicious, yet I don't live anywhere near one. There needs to be some sort of law against me not getting awesome freebies like this.

In a weird twist, you can also join the free Steak ‘n Shake eClub and a free Double ‘n Cheese ‘n Fries today! Then you get a free specialty milkshake on your birthday. It's a reversal of their rewards program above!

These programs are independent of each other, so you can join both! Sign up for both today and you'll get a coupon for a free shake and burger combo today. Then you'll get another set of coupons for the same free shake and burger combo on your birthday!

The Chick-fil-A birthday freebie is actually dependent on how much you've spent at the restaurant during the previous year. The free food you see above is the intro-level freebie that everybody gets, regardless of spending.

The base freebies offer might rotate randomly between a cookie, medium waffle fries, and small ice cream cone. I'm honestly not certain, so if you get something different than listed above, share the news in the comments.

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!

These freebies pair great with Sephora's regular beauty deal freebies! And 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 🙂

For years, the Famous Dave's birthday freebie grew a bit worse and worse each year. It started as free dessert, then moved to a free appetizer, before downgrading to a BOGO 50% off coupon.

And then, just like that, we're back to a free dessert valued up to $8! Now that's what I'm talking about, Dave! I'm beginning to understand why he's so famous.

There's just something about unearthing a new birthday freebie that puts me in a great mood. It might have something to do with all the free pizza I'm about to get next month.

Cici's free birthday pizza is an offer that's easiest to acquire via their mobile app. You can sign up for their email, but if you really want this, I'd suggest downloading the app. Then, when your birthday rolls around, the freebie should be in your Rewards section with a two week window to use it.

I wish I had an El Pollo Loco near me, because their free food on your birthday is a great deal! You get your choice between two birthday freebies along with a pretty solid freebie for signing up.

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.

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!
