Long ago you could get a free birthday deal from many restaurants if you went in on the day of your birthday and showed your driver’s license. If you wanted to enjoy several birthday deals you’d have to go from restaurant to restaurant all on the same day. A person can only eat so much. At some point it would stop being fun. Those times have changed.

Today the majority of your favorite restaurants have birthday coupons, deals, or specials that are valid anywhere from seven days to your entire birthday month. To get these deals you will need to go online and sign-up before your birthday. After sign up, most of the restaurants will send various specials, coupons, and deals not just for your birthday, but throughout the year.
