Birthday

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.

The new Redbox birthday freebie is tied to their equally new loyalty program. Simply sign up online and you'll instantly get a free DVD rental. You'll also get a free 1-night DVD rental during your birthday month.

You know, something tells me you're gonna love our free stuff on your birthday list.

I'm happy to confirm Coco's Bakery Restaurant birthday freebie is a free slice of pie with no purchase necessary! When I first started HIF, my dream was to one day receive free desserts. We've made it, Goob. Time to bask in the limelight.

Wait, I mean key lime pie.

I can't seem to find a signup freebie in my inbox though, so if any Hiffers join today and receive an welcome freebie, please let me know in the comments.

If you enjoy other free food, check out our most popular section of the site: a full list of verified birthday freebies that you can get every year.

I try to make the most out of living in New York every chance I get. From Central Park to Chinatown to a deranged stranger shouting about applesauce on the subway, there's always something interesting to check out. One spot I hadn't been to in a while was Little Italy, so when I saw this freebie in my inbox, I grabbed my coat and ran out the door.

Let me tell you, the Maggiano's Little Italy birthday freebie involves more than just going down to Little Italy and shouting “it's my birthday!” over and over. You have to actually go into a Maggiano's restaurant! The more you know.

I grew up around a Church's Chicken and always left disappointed. I must have eaten at Church's 200+ times and not once did I see a pastor chicken. I never even glimpsed a chicken choir! Oh well, I guess I'll use Church's Chicken birthday freebie as an excuse to stop by again and look around for that elusive holy chicken book.

The Bakers Square birthday freebie used to require an entree purchase, but they've since upgraded the offer to a free slice of pie with no purchase necessary! I plan on eating an entire pie today to honor whoever came up with this promotion. Thanks, Mr. Baker!

I can happily confirm the Yoshinoya birthday freebie is a choice between their teriyaki chicken bowl, Angus steak bowl, original beef bowl, or beef bowl with vegetables. None of which contain actual Yoshi.

The Firehouse Subs birthday freebie has been rolled into their Firehouse Rewards program. However, fret not, for you still get a free medium sub every year! All you have to do is make a free account & join Firehouse rewards in advance of your birthday. Then either check the Firehouse Subs app or use the emailed coupon to redeem your free medium sub reward!

In fact, not only does Firehouse Subs spell out the free subs offer on their signup form (a rarity in restaurant birthday freebies), but they also have a detailed birthday sub FAQ section (my God, other restaurants, please take notice!) that states the following:

The offer has not changed. It is still a Free Medium Sub.

Given that I've eaten here a million times, I'm happy the Firehouse Subs birthday freebie is still a free entree. They're my favorite spot for a fast food sub. I always found they made Subways sandwiches look as if they were made in an actual NYC subway.

One nice perk of their new freebie is that you can redeem it not just on your birthday but on the 7 days after it as well.

There's also no ID required to redeem the offer. All you have to do is set your date of birth within your Firehouse Rewards profile and you're good to go without any hassle.

This offer is also in addition to any free food rewards or discounts you earn via bonus points earned during the year. As you make purchases and earn points, you can redeem them for meal upgrades and other free stuff off their menu.

And of course I've added this to the birthday freebies list!

For children 15 and under

The age requirement for the free Firehouse birthday sub is 16 and over. However, parents of children under 15 can add them to their rewards profile and they'll get their choice from these two kids' birthday offers each year:

• Free Kids' Combo with Purchase of a Medium or Large Sub, Chips and Drink or
• Free Medium Sub with Purchase of an additional Medium or Large Sub, Chips and Drink.

Once your child reaches 16 years of age, they can move to their own free Firehouse rewards account and begin getting their own free medium sub sandwich each year.

Gee, gee, Gigi's Cupcakes birthday freebie is a free cupcake! I'd never heard of them until some Hiffers sent in this offer, but it turns out they sell gourmet cupcakes. That's nice, though I'm a simple man. I'll eat any cupcakes, especially when free. Gourmet, grocery store, stale – it doesn't matter. You hand me a free cupcake and you've made a friend for life.

I've tried publishing the P. F. Chang's birthday freebie at least 10 times over the past month, yet each and every time I got distracted by thinking of Senor Chang from Community. 3 hours and half a dozen episodes later and I've forgotten what I was doing in the first place. But at least I'm finally learning some Spanish!

The Qdoba birthday freebie used to be a BOGO coupon, but now it's a delicious cookie! Even if it goes back to a coupon, I'm not complaining. As my dad always said, never turn down free Mexican food or any free stuff on your birthday for that matter.

He wasn't the greatest at giving advice.
