I found this article online that lists every restaurant willing to give you free food on your birthday and apparently there are over 350 different deals to take advantage of.
Comment by Goob: This video is amazing! Three friends went to 44 restaurants and got $135.04 worth of birthday freebies! I loved this video and just have one note – they would have gotten even more if they're signed up for the rewards programs like they're supposed to!
Turning 50 is a milestone, and there are plenty of ways to mark that big day. Some of them are free. Give yourself a treat by seeking out a few benefits of being older that don’t cost a thing.
Some freebies start at age 50 and others have no age requirement. All you need is a little patience when it comes to doing your research and to know where to look.
Ryan Eubanks, owner of the Hey, It’s Free! website, says the most popular page on his site is “birthdays.” Most places require you to join their rewards program at least one month before your birthday to redeem a gift, but there are exceptions.
“I love Hey, It's Free and I've used it before Low Income Relief existed. This is a nationally recognized service that helps you find the best legitimate safe freebies on the internet. They're very careful to avoice spam, junk, and dangerous fake deals.”
Comment by Goob: Thank you so much for the shoutout and welcome Low Income Relief viewers!
In recent years, chain restaurants have turned birthdays into freebie bonanzas, rewarding customers with all sorts of menu items, from burritos to big ol’ cups of coffee, on one's big day. Actually, the day-long celebration has turned more into a week-long or even month-long one — the offers (with some exceptions) are usually available both well in advance and well after your birthday itself.
It's not just fast-food chains that are jumping on the birthday bandwagon. You can score deals from movie theaters, cosmetics stores and other companies. The Hey, It's Free website lists more than 300 birthday offers to be had.
