There are many different free
offers and discounts that are available to you on your birthday.
These offers and discounts range from restaurant deals to car washes to coffee
and everything in between. Getting these great deals and savings is simple;
usually, an Internet connection and a willingness to sign up in advance for
many of these offers is all that it takes.
If you are looking for ways to maximize
the birthday deals and treats that are available to you this year—whether they
come from your local barbershop, your favorite bartender, your accountant, or
from chain stores across the country—here are some tips on how to start.
Finding Birthday
Perks and Discounts Near You
The first step in finding perks and discounts for your
birthday can be as close as the local businesses your frequent the most. These
can be retailers, restaurants, or service providers that are either national
companies or just down the street in your neighborhood. Getting the perks and
discounts you deserve from a chain store or national brand is easy, as many of
these stores and providers usually have information on their websites or in
their stores that will tell you how to sign up. Whether it's called a birthday
club or other such name, filling out an online form or just providing your
birth date and email address at checkout is all that is needed to receive your
birthday reward.
Dealing with a local business may require you to be more
proactive to learn about the deals, bargains, discounts, and freebies they have
available. Ask your barber if he takes a "haircut" on his haircut
prices on your birthday, or ask if the local ice cream parlor will give you an
extra scoop on your double scoop cone. In these instances, you may not have to
sign-up 7 to 14 days in advance to get the deal; showing an ID with your birth
date on it may entitle you to the birthday rewards in store for you.
How to Take
Advantage of Your Birthday Offers
You should make a list of all of the places you plan to
visit on your special day in order to take advantage of the perks available to
you. If you are like most of us and celebrate a "birthday week," you
will have plenty of time to map out the locations you plan to visit and enjoy as
many of the offers and discounts as you can before the day has passed.
Enjoy Your
Birthday Perks
A helpful hint that will help you enjoy your birthday
freebie extravaganza is to sort the offers, discounts, and deals by type. As an
example, all freebies should be grouped together, mapped out, and given the
highest priority so that you don't miss one free thing coming your way on your
birthday. Your next group should be offers and discounts that are related to
things that you have been looking to have done but were waiting for a deal to
pay for it. If the car care facility down the road is offering 10 percent off
an oil change or tune-up for your birthday, guess where you will be heading
between your free pancake stack and complimentary Swedish massage. With a
little effort and a little planning, your birthday can be a truly special day!
