Many national chains apply, so whether you’re in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Savannah, or beyond — you’re covered.

Just be sure to sign up for their rewards or email lists before your birthday and check with the local location for details (offers can vary!).

✅ Tips to Get the Most Out of These Offers

• Sign up early: Many programs require you to register before the month of your birthday to qualify.
• Bring ID or have your account set up with your birthdate recorded.
• Check the fine print: Some offers require a minimum purchase, only apply the day of your birthday, or expire soon after.
• Call ahead: Even if the chain advertises a birthday perk, local stores may vary participation or have special restrictions.
• Combine perks: Your birthday could be a great time to stack a free treat + bring along friends/family for more fun.

From all of us at News4JAX, we hope your birthday is filled with joy, laughter, and maybe a free dessert or two.

🎂 Enjoy your day — you deserve it!
