Birthday freebies

Sign up to the Bill's newsletter to get a free bottle of prosecco (normally £29.50) on your birthday when you dine-in and buy a main meal. You'll need to sign up at least four weeks in advance of your birthday and you'll be emailed a unique voucher to show in the restaurant, which will be valid for five weeks from receipt of the email. 

The main must be ordered from the all-day menu or seasonal set menu, and the offer is only valid when you pre-book a table. If you'd prefer not to have alcohol, Bill's says you can choose a bottle of non-alcoholic Cherry Blossom Spritz instead (normally £7.50).

See full T&Cs. Please be Drinkaware.

Sign up to the All Bar One newsletter via its app and you'll get a voucher for a birthday treat – a 'Blossom Birdcage' sharing cocktail with the purchase of two meals for your birthday.

You'll be able to ask for four bottles of Peroni, draught soft drinks or 'Twisted Tonics' as an alternative drink. The offer is for people over the age of 18 only, and is not valid in airport locations. Please be Drinkaware.

Sign up to the Miller & Carter newsletter to get a voucher for a free 125ml glass of house prosecco for you and up to five of your guests on your birthday when each guest purchases a main course. You can also ask for an alcohol-free cocktail as an alternative to prosecco.

You have to sign up at least two weeks in advance to get your voucher. You'll also get a free glass of wine when you sign up. Please be Drinkaware.

Download the free Fridays UK rewards app to get up to six free cocktails or mocktails. You’ll get one freebie for each main course you buy, for up to six people including yourself for your birthday. It can be any standard cocktail or mocktail, but doesn't include 'ultimate cocktails'. 

The reward will appear in the app seven days before your birthday – so remember to sign up more than a week in advance – and must be used on or before the expiry date shown in the app. 

You'll not be able to get cocktails in Scotland due to licensing laws, and this offer is not available in Northern Ireland, and can't be used with any other discount – see full T&Cs. Please be Drinkaware.

If you sign up to the Space NK loyalty scheme 'NK NDULGE'*, you can get a free trio of beauty items for your birthday, provided you've made a purchase online or in store within the last 12 months (there's no minimum spend).

Space NK told us the trio of gifts change monthly and are selected based on seasonality and trending products. As this differs each month, we can't tell you the exact cost of the items but some recent examples include:

• Youth to the People Superfood Cleanser (sample size)
• Dr. Barbara Sturm The Good C Vitamin C Serum (sample size)
• Erborian CC Red Correct (sample size)

You'll receive an e-mail with details on how to claim ahead of your birthday. 

If you frequently shop at Space NK, spending £1,000 or more within 12 months, you'll be a classed as a 'Deluxe tier member' and you can get a full-size item as your birthday gift. Though don't use this as an excuse to overspend. 

If you sign up to the Rituals free club 'My Rituals', you'll be sent an offer for your birthday. The Rituals website says it's a 'free' shower oil when you purchase another product, but we were offered a 'free' hand soap with the purchase of another product when we tested the offer, so you could get something different.

You can redeem the offer online via the link in the email, or use it in stores when you show your 'My Rituals' card. To get the offer, you must be subscribed to its newsletter, and add a date of birth when you sign up.

A full-size shower oil is normally worth up to £11.90, and a full-size hand soap up to £14.90, so either way it's a decent offer. The cheapest item we found online to get the birthday 'freebie' is a 10-pack of cleansing wipes for £4.90. If you choose to redeem online, delivery's £3.90 for orders under £35.

If you sign up to the free Sephora (formerly Feel Unique) rewards scheme, you can get 20% off for your birthday. It will be sent via email three days before your birthday, so you'll need to sign up in advance. It's valid for seven days from the date of issue, so you'll only have four days after your birthday to use it. There are quite a few brands which are excluded from this – see a full list in 'more info' below.

Simply sign up, select your two favourite brands (you'll get a separate 10% discount on these) and add your date of birth. The offer isn't valid on electrical items - see full T&Cs.

If you sign up to the free Superdrug 'Health & Beautycard' loyalty card, on your birthday you'll get triple points on purchases with no minimum spend (see full T&Cs). It's valid for 14 days from the date of your birthday.

The discount is valid for 16 days from the date you receive your email, and it can't be combined with other offers.

Schuh says this offer is 'by invitation only', so you may or may not receive the same birthday offer.

What else does the loyalty club get me?

What is Swagbucks?

Swagbucks is a site that pays you points (called SB) to answer daily polls, watch videos, play games, search online and more. The points can then be cashed in for gift cards, PayPal credit or other rewards.
