The Best 5 Half Birthday Deals and Freebies
A very happy unbirthday to you. And you.
Or, maybe happy half-birthday!
We all know that companies will celebrate you on your birthday, but did you know that some also give out gifts for half-birthdays?
I don’t know about you, but I’ll take any and every opportunity to celebrate something. So, today we’re celebrating half-birthdays with five of the best half-birthday freebies and deals. You definitely won’t want to miss the best deal at the end!
Cheesecake Factory’s Half Birthday Deal
Let's start strong with one of my favorite companies for birthday freebies: Cheesecake Factory.
Cheesecake Factory gives customers freebies and other great deals with their loyalty program: Cheesecake Rewards®.
For Half Birthdays, Cheesecake Factory gives you half off any slice of cheesecake or layered cake. You do not have to order anything else to get this deal. It’s redeemable for either carryout or dine-in.
Rita’s Italian Ice Half Birthday Freebie
Rita’s half-birthday freebie is a tricky one. Only certain customers will qualify. It depends on what month your real birthday is in and what type of Rita’s you have nearby.
You’ll get a free Italian Ice for your half birthday if your real birthday is anywhere between October and February if your Rita's location is a seasonal shop.
Publix Half Birthday Coupon
If you’ve got a Publix near you, sign up for their free rewards program, Club Publix, to receive all sorts of deals and freebies, including birthday and half-birthday gifts!
Publix rewards loyalty members with 50% off for either cake or ice cream on their half-birthday. The coupon is good for about two weeks.
Aeropostale Half Birthday Discount
This is not one of the better deals on this list. It's the least money-saving. But, if you’re a member of Aerie/Aeropostale’s rewards program, you can save 15% off a purchase in the month of your half-birthday.
How much does 15% truly save? I found this dress at Aeropostale for $29.97. 15% off that price is $4.49, which brings the cost down to around $25.48 before tax.
Again, it’s not a great deal, but if you’re out at the mall, and there’s something you love, the coupon may come in handy.
Madewell Half Birthday Reward
I saved the best deal for last. This half-birthday freebie is what dreams are made of. Okay, so maybe that's a littledramatic. But seriously, run, don't walk, to sign up for this deal.
For Half Birthdays Madewell gives loyalty program members, Madewell Insiders, $15 off a purchase of $16 or more. That’s like having a $15 gift card— with the caveat that you have to spend more than the gift card value. Even better? It’s usable on their clearance and sale items!
Note: If the reward does not appear in your email inbox, log into your Madewell loyalty account. They likely credited the reward to your account already, regardless of whether they notified you or not!
I found a super cute boat-neck long-sleeve shirt on sale for $19.99. The half-birthday reward lowered the price to $4.99. Also- did I mention that shipping is always free for Madewell Insiders? You really can’t beat this half-birthday freebie.
Final Thoughts on Half Birthday Freebies and Deals
Whether you’re looking to treat yourself to a sweet snack or add to your wardrobe, there’s a half-birthday deal or freebie for you. I expect to see more companies start celebrating half-birthdays in the years to come, but who knows? For now, I plan to enjoy a slice of cake and a little cheaper retail therapy with my rewards.
Oh, and in case no one has told you yet, happy half birthday!
