I have app/website accounts with all these places:

1. Chick-fil-A: regular members get free cookie or brownie, or ice cream. I’m a silver members so I get the above options, plus milkshake or frosted drinks. I chose frosted.

2. Starbucks: free any size, any customizations. Must redeem on your actual birthday.

3. Dutch Bros: same as Starbucks but you have a month to redeem. Birthday drink will typically show up in your app in the morning/at noon of your birthday.

4. The Human Bean: free any drink, value up to $10.

5. 7brew: free any size drink, might have to show ID

6. Nothing Bundt Cakes: free individual bundtlet, $6 value

7. Arby’s: free cookie, turnover or milkshake

8. Buffalo Wild Wings: free 6 wings. Some people reported that BWW required 1 purchase since account creation, before giving out birthday rewards. I can’t confirm however, because last year I claimed my 6 birthday wings + BOGO offer (so free 12 wings total) which means I technically already made a purchase.

9. CVS: $3 ExtraCare Bucks.

10. McDonald’s: free 6ct nuggets, cheeseburger, hashbrown, large iced coffee, mcchicken, medium fries, or sausage burrito. Offer in app.

11. Pizza Hut: free Breadsticks or Cinnamon Sticks

12. KFC: 250 rewards points to account, which can be redeemed for 1pc chicken, 5ct nuggets, chicken little, individual side, or a drink

13. MINISO: free blind box, $25 value, with some restrictions. It seems like different stores, different employees are doing their own things so YMMV.

14. Ulta Beauty: at the beginning of the month you will receive a coupon to claim your free item. Item selections vary by month.

15. Hot Topic: $5 birthday reward. If you create your account in the same month as your birthday, next year you will get a $5 anniversary reward. Those can stack, giving you $10 in total. For online order, your subtotal must be $10 or over, but that is not needed in store.

16. Also Hot Topic, but on my old account.

17. Box Lunch: same as Hot Topic.

18. Yankee Candle: free small candle, regular retail $13

19. Bath&Body Works: free item, regular retail $9.95. For in store, this is technically a “with any purchase” gift, however the coupon will go through even when you don’t buy anything to accompany the reward. So it’s pretty much up to store/employee discretion to allow you getting the free item without purchasing anything. For online, you must purchase something in order to redeem it.
