I claimed 11 birthday fast food offers over the course of about a week. Here are the best and the worst ones.
I recently celebrated a birthday. Not a milestone birthday, as in one ending in a zero. Not even a particularly happy birthday, given that the pandemic is still playing havoc with our ability to host celebratory gatherings of any kind.
For that matter, it’s not just fast-food chains that are jumping on the birthday bandwagon. You can score deals from movie theaters, cosmetics stores and other companies. The Hey, it’s Free website lists more than 300 birthday offers to be had. “A lot of people won’t unsubscribe to a year-long’s worth of notifications, because if they do, they won’t get that free slice of pizza,” Agranoff explained.
I claimed 11 offers over the course of about a week — none on my birthday itself, as it turns out . That all equated to about a $63 haul, not including the tax I’d have paid if I purchased the items. To be sure, I appreciated the “gifts,” but I can’t say every chain quite hit the mark. “““We felt making birthdays more special during the pandemic might provide a little more joy for customers.””
I also came across freebie offers that frankly felt not-so-free. McDonald’s MCD, +2.95%, the 800-pound gorilla of the fast-food world, could do no better than to give me a baked apple pie to mark my birthday. I mean, I can practically score a free pie at McDonald’s just by breathing — it’s almost always an offer on the McDonald’s app, albeit with a minimum purchase of $1.
