It's just me????....I couldn't register to anyone because the ZIP....I typed the right one and still ask me a 5 digit zip....in Vancouver??????....help!
Cool
Thanks for this. In turn, I wanted to share one thing I just learned. Sign up early to be ready in time for your birthday.
For example, the marketing woman for the Boathouse restaurants just told me I was too late for this year because they need at least 3 weeks signup in advance.
I just took advantage of a bunch this past July. Denny's you don't need to purchase meals you can get a free meal. Booster Juice offers free Drink, Blenz is no longer offered, and David's Tea gives you free tea.
My friend and I got free drinks at Blenz (in Vancouver) for each of our birthdays this month (December) so the offer is still there. Lucky for them because it made us both realize they have better coffee than starbucks!
We published a free eBook that has 180 offers across Canada (includes several not included in this list).

Some good bday info!
Dynamite - 25% off
IHOP - free Fruity Tooty Fresh & Fruity meal
Blenz - go in and tell them it's your birthday - free grande drink
Orange Julius also gives out BOGO free coupons.
Awesome! I thought I was on top of the birthday freebies... but nope! I missed a few.
For Aveda I think you have to be part of their loyalty program, which you have to pay a membership fee. Too bad...they used to give out $10 gift cards.
Thanks for the tip
Its my bday next month!
