Some people pointed out that Adrienne didn’t include a few of their favorite places, while others asked her about the birthday freebie process. She explained that you can sign up on your favorite restaurants, stores, etc., website or app, and from there, it’s a little bit of a waiting game.

She noted that some establishments place their exclusive freebie rewards in their app, while others will send an email and place the reward directly into your account. When it comes time to order, you don’t necessarily have to tell them it’s your birthday; you can simply mention that you are redeeming your birthday rewards!
