It’s my birthday next week, why are some good apps/shops to sign up to for birthday freebies?
April 10, 2026
Someone put me onto the Starbucks app today to get a free birthday drink next week, fun stuff like that.

Greg’s used to do a free birthday treat, think they still do.
L’Occitane give you a hand massage if you buy something.
Boots give you double points all month.
Greggs free sweet treat
And Starbucks
Free donut from Lidl.
Subway, but the best you’ll get is a free cookie until you build up a lot of points.
greggs and costa are solid for birthday freebies, also check mcdonalds app and krispy kreme, they usually hook you up with something decent
If you have an Ego restaurant you get your whole meal for free if dining with one other.
M&S sparks loyalty card gets you a cake (or grapes). Was absolutely chuffed with my little cake
Costa, Caffe Nero and Greggs all do a birthday sweet treat 😋
Caffe Nero – Free Cake
Costa – Free Cake
Greggs – Free Sweet Treat
Gails – Free pastry with purchase
Ole & Steen – Free Sweet Treat (doesn’t include cinnamon social)
Sign up to different ones using different birthdays. Note them all in your calendar, then every year you can pop in somewhere on random days for a freebie. Make a wee tradition out of it.
