On our birthdays, most of us want to be treated like a VIP. It is a special day and for some, it can be a time to celebrate for a full birthday week or even a birthday month.
Treat yourself the right way – not by eating cake but by shopping with discounts and savings picked just for you.
Birthday freebie tips
Some places may give you a bit of leeway on when you can redeem your freebie, while some will require that you use it on your actual birthday.
For most of these retailers, you need to be registered in the store's database and have a rewards account with them, so keep that in mind when looking through our list of 50+ stores.
You'll generally need to have joined before your birthday in order to receive a freebie, so set a reminder a week before your birthday and sign up for all the freebies that take your fancy.
Before you can receive free stuff on your birthday from these retail stores, you normally have to sign up for the newsletter or join the loyalty program. Otherwise, the store has no way of knowing when your birthday is.
While this means receiving emails with exclusive offers, sale information and product launches, you will be eligible to receive whatever birthday gift is on offer. Signing up may also give you a one-time discount voucher to use on your first purchase.
However, with some retailers, birthday gifts are based on how much you spend at the store during the year and what tier of the loyalty program you are at.
What type of free stuff can I get on my birthday?
Birthday rewards range greatly across retailers and include:
Gift vouchers. Stores give out gift vouchers for their customers to use toward their next purchase. Sometimes there are restrictions on the voucher, such as it can only be used during your birthday month, or you must spend a minimum amount.
Bonus loyalty points. If you are a frequent shopper, you will be earning points every time you make a purchase. Bonus points can help to get you toward earning the next reward offered by the store.
Discount promo codes. Watch out for emails on your birthday as one might contain a special discount code to use on your birthday or during your birthday month.

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
findershopping.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
