Free Kids Roller Skating in 2023
Next up in our summer freebies series is a “OH DEAR GOD, JUST GET OUT OF THE HOUSE FOR A WHILE!” offer for all those stressed out parents 🙂 You can grab free kids roller skating passes good at a variety of locations in 36 states.
Once you locate a nearby rink, click their name to see dates, times, and age limits for their free skating. Register an account, then download the MyHownd app on your smartphone. This will be the app that lets you claim your kids free passes each week. Your first set of passes will be available in the MyHownd app on Monday morning following your free registration.
You will receive 2 Kids Skate Free passes per child, per week. These passes are only valid for one week and will automatically expire, but they're replaced with two new valid passes every Monday!
Some locations have a $4 signup fee to register. While not free, these passes don't expire until the end of the year, so you make your money back pretty fast.
Kids Bowl Free All Summer
It's about that time for the return of the favorite kids bowl free all summer deal in 2023! Sign up and your children will get two free games of bowling every day this summer. That's valued at over $500.
Not a bad deal if you ask me. Though to be fair nobody asked me. I guess that's what I get for being single, living alone, and working from home.
Too bad I still don't live at home, because my family are pretty big bowlers. Oh, we don't take the actual bowling part too seriously. We're more of a “who wants another round of nachos and beer?” type enthusiasts! 😀
Freebies, Discounts, & Deals for Good Grades!
I was a nerdy, smart kid with my nose perpetually in a book and that trait carried over into adulthood. I'm the guy at the end of the bar more interested in reading my Kindle than socializing with strangers. Yet I've never been offered freebies based on how much I read or how smart I am! Oh, to be a kid again.
There are a lot of other websites with outdated information on freebies for good grades. I only included offers I could verify to some degree, but I strongly encourage you check with your own locations no matter what! Since these restaurants are usually franchises, offers heavily vary by location.
Rewards via Report Cards
Allstate – Full-time students getting good grades qualify for their Smart Student Discount. They don't specify what constitutes “good grades,” nor do they say what the savings will be, so you'll need to ask your personal agent.
Amica – They have a form you can fill out requesting a good grade discount.
Applebee's – While not quite nationwide, they confirmed on Twitter that it's up to your local restaurant as to whether or not they give out freebies for good grades. Many of the largest Applebee's franchises offer an “A is for Applebee's” reward program, where students 12 and under can get a free meal from the Kid's Menu if they receive an A on their report card.
Your best bet is searching for “A is for Applebee's” on Google and then adding your city or state.
Many other freebie sites erroneously say this is a nationwide deal, but it's a great example of what kind of offer you can expect if your local franchise participates!
Baskin Robbins – They also confirmed on Twitter that giving away free scoops is “at the discretion of each franchise owner.” So call your local creamery!
Chuck E. Cheese – Anybody can print their Super Student Award 🙂 It's a redeemable certificate for 10 free tokens per day, however a food purchase is required.
Coldstone Creamery – They responded to my inquiry with “Hi, our stores are individually owned and operated. For special promotions and offers such as this, please reach out to your local store.”
So it sounds like this might still be active on a regional basis.
Farmer's Insurance – They have a “good student” promo where full-time students in high school or college under the age of 25 may qualify for a discount as long as they have good grades.
Financial Institutions – Hundreds of small banks, credit unions, and even insurance companies offer rewards for good grades as well! I highly suggest checking the website of any smaller institution you're with, as well as asking your local branch. I've seen some small banks offering up to $25 for good grades! Others offered smaller cash rewards, discounts, and other prizes.
I wish these offers had been around when I was a kid. I would have made some serious cash!
Geico – They offer a “good student discount” on insurance that's available when driving aged teens maintain a B average or better.
Jason's Deli – They replaced their old JDPickleCards offer with a new Kids Cash system. Kids under 12 got a free kid's meal at participating locations.
Liberty Mutual – You'll need a GPA of B or better in order to trigger their good student discount.
Nationwide – Students drivers aged 16 – 24 who maintain a B average qualify for a discount on auto insurance. Homeschooled students also qualify if they score in the top 20% of a test's national performance.
Pizza Hut – Pizza Hut used to have a site dedicated to this, but I believe it's since degraded to a “location specific” freebie. I'd definitely call ahead and ask! Hopefully they still recognize the great and classic Pizza Hut good grades deal. Seriously, I can remember getting this freebie in the late 80s!
Each marking period, any child who has 3 A's or the equivalent thereof, will receive one Personal Pan Pizza and a small soft drink or carton of milk by presenting his or her report card to the manager. This offer is good for Elementary and Middle School students. Dine-in only. Students must be present and the original report card must be presented.
Progressive – Save an additional 10% in most states just by maintaining a B average or better.
State Farm – Their “Good Student Discount” lets you save up to 25% if your teen driver gets good grades. These savings may last until your teen turns 25. Homeschoolers may also qualify with other options, such as submitting evidence they've taken certain national standardized tests administered within the past 12 months and ranked in the upper 20%.
Unconfirmed or Regional Offers & Freebies
Other sites report the following companies give freebies for good grades, but I've been unable to verify these claims on a nationwide basis. I've reached out to the following companies on Twitter, so please feel free to also message them and help get an answer 🙂
In the meantime, before trying to redeem any of these below, I'd make sure you call ahead first.
- Bob Evans – As of 2019, the Star Student program “is not a program that is currently active at our restaurants.”
- Burger King – Free hamburger or ice cream cone for scoring 100% on a test. This sounds crazy regional, so I would contact your local BK to see if they're participating.
- Cheryl's Cookies – Their Cookies for A's program is for K-8th grade students, but I can't find any information regarding 2022.
A very popular program at Cheryl's is the Cheryl's Cookies for A's. Students present their report cards at retail locations and receive a free cookie per A, for up to 3 A's they have earned.
- Chick-fil-A – Free 8 pack of nuggets if you have all A's and B's on a report card.
- Culver's – They said “Thanks for asking! Each restaurant is family owned and operated and they make decisions like this, so feel free to reach out to your local Culver's to see if they do anything”
- IHOP – They said “Check your local restaurants for information on this!”
- Krispy Kreme – Free original glazed donut for each A, up to a half-dozen. They said on Twitter that “It varies by location, check with your local shop!”
- Marco's Pizza – Free one-topping pizza, but they said on Twitter “Thanks for reaching out. Because our stores are locally owned and operated, we suggest contacting your local Marco's Pizza directly.”
- McDonald's – K-5 grade students with straight A's get a free Happy Meal. 6-12 grade students get a free Value Meal.
- Red Robin
- Sonic – As of 2022, they say “promotions vary by drive-in, we recommend contacting your local SONIC directly for the most up-to-date information. Thank you!”
- The Melting Pot – The Boca Raton, FL location offers a free three or four course meal for straight A's! Others might have similar deals
- Wendy's
I'll keep this list updated as I find new offers, so if you find anything I missed, please let me know in the comments!
Free Wine Spectator Magazine Subscription
Mercury Magazines has a new offer available that casual drinkers will love – a free one year Wine Spectator magazine subscription! This freebie is worth $10.
I'm not sure why anybody would want to watch wine, especially when they could be drinking it, but to each their own. I'm personally a Shiraz fan and I don't know about you, but all this talk about wine is making me thirsty. Thankfully it's almost 5pm and … let's be honest here, even if it wasn't, that wouldn't have stopped me. Time to spectate this wine entering my mouth!
As with other Mercury freebies, you're finished once you submit your mailing address. Any further non-magazine offers can be ignored.
Free 3-Month SiriusXM Radio Streaming
Update: If you missed out last year, then good news! This great offer is back for a limited time. Be sure to sign up before it ends and lock in your free SiriusXM streaming for the summer roadtrip season.
For a limited time, get free SiriusXM radio streaming for the next 3 months. You can enjoy their wide variety of ad-free music, live sports, original talk, and much more.
With this freebie, you can listen to their hundreds of radio stations in the car, streamed on your phone, or at at home with a smartspeaker or normal computer!
There's no credit card required either, so there's no worry of a subscription service at the end or a need to cancel!
I was thinking of what to say about this freebie while in the shower this morning. I came up with “how does this shampoo always get in my eyes?” and “score, I still have hot water!” Hope that helps.

Free Advil Dual Action
Today you can request some free Advil Dual Action directly from their website. This product is the first and only FDA approved pain relief medication to combine Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen, targeting pain at the source while also blocking pain signals.
I wrote a joke about how you can tell it's going to be good because it has “advanced” in the name. None of that Advil Average Apathy for us!
And then right before I published this, I realized the word “advanced” was nowhere to be found 🤣 🤦♂️
Costco: Free 15-Pack of Swoon Beverages!
Here's a new full rebate offer that lets you get a free 15-pack of Swoon beverages at Costco, worth up to $20! It's not every day (or week or month or year or decade) that we see a free full-size product from Costco.
I was unfamiliar with this drink brand, but after looking around it seems this contains 8 pink lemonades and 7 peach iced teas. It's sweetened with monk fruit, so it's a low-calorie drink.
This offer works like most other rebates these days. You buy a 15 pack of Swoon at your local Costco, text a photo of your receipt, and within 24 hours they'll send you cash back to either Venmo or Paypal.
