We’re all looking to save a penny here and there so I thought I’d share  additional benefits of joining businesses’ email lists, VIP clubs, birthday clubs or reward programs.

The businesses included in the directory at Free Birthday Treats all offer a birthday freebie or discount and some of them will send a friendly welcome email with a special offer enclosed.

For instance, AMF Bowling Centers offers one free game of bowling when you buy one game, Boston’s Gourmet Pizza offers a free appetizer, Smoothie King offers a buy one, get one free 20 oz. Smoothie, Dairy Queen offers a buy one, get one free 16 oz. Blizzard Treat while Chuck e Cheese offers a sweet deal on tokens: buy 40 get 60. All this just for signing up.

Businesses will also send out promotional emails and even more special money saving offers. I’ve received several email coupons from Sweet Tomatoes, Peter Piper Pizza and Sonic. In fact, I just received a special “Thank You” coupon in the mail from DSW Shoewarehouse – $10 off a purchase of $10 or more good until December 24th.

Just a quick suggestion, it’s a really good idea to set up a separate email address just for receiving these offers, otherwise you’ll soon find your regular email overflowing.

Granted some people may not want to share their personal information with businesses just to get freebies and discounts, but for me, I feel it’s a win-win situation. I provide the business with a way to stay in touc with me and valuable demographic information while they provide me with money saving coupons.

I will note here that businesses offering birthday rewards through business sponsored credit cards or charge a fee to join a reward program are not included in the directory on Free Birthday Treats. In my personal opinion, I don’t think consumers should have to open yet another credit card account or pay a fee to receive rewards. What do you think?
