Where to Get Free Stuff On Your Birthday
So whenever my birthday rolls around I think, what can I get free for today? After all, everyone knows that on your birthday you are entitled to getting whatever you want, which naturally means FREE stuff. So here are a few businesses who will dole out free stuff on your birthday. Also, don't be afraid to drop the fact that it's your birthday at places not mentioned here, who knows, you might get something on the house!
Disneyland and Disney World
What could be better than spending your birthday (undoubtedly the happiest day of the year), at the happiest place on earth for FREE? Just remember to sign up online in advance to get your free birthday admission— i.e. don’t show up at the park on your b-day waving your license around like it’s the golden ticket.
Disneyland and Disney World
Who says you can’t celebrate your birthday like an eight year-old?
Hooters
If you decide to celebrate your birthday at Hooters (you’re just going because you love the wings, riiiiight), then you should get a complimentary Hooters t-shirt. Sorry, the orange booty shorts are not included.

If you can’t find someone to jump out of a cake, this is probably the next best option.
Get A Free Tan
If you’re into the whole fake ’n bake thing (i.e. indoor tanning) you can more often than not get a free tan on your birthday. The you can tell everyone your S.O. whisked you away for a surprise Caribbean vacation on your birthday

Does anyone else find the blinding light a little scary?
Chevy's
If you’re the type of person that gets embarrassed easily on your birthday then for goodness sake don’t go to Chevy’s. Not only do they give you free dessert on your birthday, but they also regale with birthday singing and adorn you with a complimentary sombrero.

This kid totally wishes they had brought him a complimentary margarita instead.
Bj's Restaurant
If you sign up in advance with Bj’s email list you can get a coupon for a free birthday Pizookie! And what’s a Pizookie you might ask? Why it’s a cookie pizza of course.
Bj's
Dessert, thy name is Pizookie.
Cold Stone Creamery
In case you didn’t know, on your birthday you can eat as many calories as you want and NONE of them count! So really, there’s no reason not to go to Cold Stone and get a free birthday treat. Just remember to sign up for the Birthday Club before your big day.
Cold Stone Creamery
Bring on the birthday Lactaid.
Denny's
If you’re like me and didn’t watch the Super Bowl. then you missed the commercial advertising that Denny’s was giving away free Grand Slams on February 3rd! Major drag. But cheer up, because Denny’s has brought back the free-Grand-Slam-on-your birthday deal. SCORE.
Baskin Robbins
If you happen to be anti Cold Stone, then you can rest assured that there are other options when it comes to getting your free scoop of birthday ice cream. Ol’ 31 Flavors (or BR as they like to call themselves now) will give you a free scoop on your b-day. Do you think they still have Gold Medal Ribbon?
Who knows, you might want one of these on your birthday also.
The Cheesecake Factory
If you thought you were getting a complimentary slice of cheesecake on your birthday at the Cheesecake Factory you thought wrong! But what do you get is a complimentary scoop of ice cream. Oh, how very bittersweet.
The Cheesecake Factory
Sorry to be a killjoy, but you’ll have to pay for that Snickers Cheesecake. Oh, and happy birthday.

Ski for Free
If your birthday happens to be during the winter, you’re one lucky duck because you can ski or snowboard for free at a ton of ski resorts on your b-day. Snow Summit, Bear Mountain, and Mountain High in California, Arizona Snowbowl and Belleayre Mountain in New York are just a few places that let you ski for gratis. Just go light on those birthday shots when you’re out on the slopes, nobody wants a birthday concussion.
Big Bear
Opt for powder of the snowy variety on your birthday— as opposed to that other variety.
IHOP
I challenge you to think of a reason why you wouldn’t want to get a free pancake meal on your birthday. (Cue the sound of crickets…)
IHOP
Doctors have proven that it’s medically impossible to refuse free pancakes.
Hollywood Video
You probably haven’t set foot in a video store in the past 3 years (thank you Netflix!) but if you’ve still got a Hollywood Video card swimming around in your wallet you can get a free rental on your b-day.

Now the question is… do you think you’ll be able to sweet talk the 16 year-old cashier into giving you a free packet of microwave popcorn?
Caribou Coffee
Rumor has it that Caribou will give you a free cup of joe on your birthday, and not the plain ol’ coffee of the day crap. You can whatever fancy schmancy white mocha skinny caramel late coffee drink you want.
Cairbou Coffee
Ah, sweet complimentary birthday caffeine…
Islands
If you join up on Islands email list (Tiki Link— LAME!) then you get a free birthday treat. Rumor has it it’s a burger and a slice o’ Kona Pie. Too bad they don’t give you a complimentary grass skirt and ukulele.
Todai
If free sushi doesn’t get you riled up, I don’t know what will. Todai which offers up a crazy sushi-seafood buffet will give you a FREE meal on your birthday. If that doesn’t take the proverbial birthday cake, I don’t know what does.
Free stuff that you didn’t know you needed!
