72 Restaurant Freebies – signups and birthdays!

Going out to eat? Don’t leave without these restaurant freebies and NEVER pay full price! We all know that almost every chain restaurant has some sort of email club or app with some perks, but I’ve put all of them in one place!

When you join these email lists, they will usually send you deals and coupons throughout the year, but you usually get the best freebies at 2 times:

• When you first sign up
• Birthday Freebies

Below is a compilation of 72 restaurants, their email signup freebies and birthday freebies. I literally signed up for all of them with a brand new email account dedicated to this purpose… which took a while but was totally worth it! I now have an email address dedicated solely to every chain restaurant I can think of. I set it up as a separate inbox on my iPhone so I can access it at any time:

Now when we go out to eat, I just pulled out my iPhone and check the ‘Restaurants Email’ folder to see where we have coupons for. Then we choose to eat at one of those places.  This is a much better idea than searching through your email right before you go out the door. And when we travel, it doesn’t really matter where we stop to eat, I can have access to a coupon within seconds.
