We can all agree that the best part about birthdays is receiving gifts—cake comes in at a close second.
But before you head off to party, check out this list of stores and restaurants that are serving up the best birthday freebies you can net on your special day. From coupons and gifts to tasty treats on the house, you’ll see that getting older isn’t all that bad.
Please keep in mind that you may not be able to combine some of the below deals with our Cash Back.
