We post a lot of great dining deals at Couponaholic. It seems like almost every major restaurant chain has an app or an email list these days. Quite a few of them have freebies for signing up or on your birthday too. However, many of these offers come with some strings attached. However, there are still quite a few restaurants and retail chains that will give you something for FREE with no strings attached. We’ve made a list of these great offers below!

To get the most out of this list, there are a few things you should do. First, go through these offers and prepare well before your birthday month. While there are some offers that will give you the freebie if you sign up close to your birthday, others require that you are a member for a period of time before your birthday arrives. That’s why it is best to get ready for your birthday month freebies in advance by downloading apps and/or registering accounts now.

Another important thing is to plan out your freebies. Some offers are available only on your birthday. Others are available for a few days before and after. Yet others are available at any time during your birthday month. To make your planning easier, we’ve grouped these offers based on when you can redeem them.

Finally, a few of these offers are for sit-down restaurants. Keep in mind that you still have a server, and you’re occupying one of their tables while you chow down on your freebie. Make sure you give a nice tip, even though you’re eating for free.
