How to Treat Yourself to Birthday Gifts All Year Round
It seems that these days the Every Retail and fast food chain has its own loyalty program, and one of the benefits that the good ones offer is a free gift or a birthday discount. These programs rarely check your date of birth.
This means that your birthday can be any time you want.
Spreading these free gifts and discounts throughout the year allows you to instantly enjoy shopping or dining out without hitting your wallet too hard. This idea originated completely selfishly: I have a birthday in December, so when my birthday coupons appear, I focus on spending my money on gifts for my family or traveling to see them. While these birthday coupons can be used for gifts, they are often tailored only to my personal preference, not my family’s. My dad, despite his love for me, will not be impressed with any free product I get from Ulta, you know?
The next time you sign up with a seller’s loyalty club to receive any sweet or semi-sweet discount they offer you upon your arrival on Earth, please include a random birthday. Use the first of the month to keep things simple, and set your birthday as the month after registration if you’re anxious to get a freebie.
The expert level of this hack is timing discounts based on the season. If you would like to start your New Years fitness solution with a new pair of sneakers, you can sign up to receive your January birthday coupon.
Should I save this tip for Evil Week ? Probably. But listen, if we trade our buying history with companies that we enjoy buying from, the least we should do is make the most of the benefits.
