Happy birthday to everyone born this month! Did you know that you can score tons of great restaurant and retail freebies during the month of your birthday?   

If you have a birthday this month, make sure you sign up now for the many restaurant and retail offers. Some freebies require that you sign up a certain period of time before your birthday (like a week or month before) in order to get the offer for that year. Many of the offers have to redeemed through the app for the business, as well.                   

Keep in mind that some locations may not participate in these promotions so you may want to call ahead to verify before you head to the restaurant or retailer. These offers can change at any time and this list is not a guarantee of a specific offer.    

Added bonus: When you sign up for the reward programs for many of the following businesses, you'll be offered a sign up deal or freebie, as well. Some companies even offer a half birthday promotion.
