Starbucks and Greggs Offer Birthday Freebies Across US and UK

Retail chains and restaurants in the United States and the United Kingdom are promoting birthday‑day rewards that require customers to join loyalty programmes or sign up for email clubs before their birthday. In the US, brands such as Starbucks, Sephora, Ulta, Chick‑Fil‑A, and many others promise free drinks, cosmetics, desserts or meals when members register in advance. In the UK, high‑street names including Greggs, Krispy Kreme, Costa Coffee, and other coffee and bakery chains provide free doughnuts, cakes or other treats to members of their respective apps.

To claim the offers, shoppers must create an account, provide their date of birth and opt‑in to marketing communications. Rewards are typically delivered via email or within the brand’s app on or shortly before the birthday, and some promotions may require a prior purchase or minimum spend.
