Lots of Australian chains give members a birthday treat — but most need you to sign up in advance, and some need a recent purchase. We checked every one against the official terms: what you get, how to claim it, and the last day to join.
Pick your birthday and we'll tell you the last day to join each program. Most need you to sign up in advance.

From our twice-daily deal updates — limited time
Every entry comes from the brand's own site or terms. Third-party lists and social media are leads only — if we can't confirm it officially, it's not here.
If the official site doesn't state a value, expiry or condition, we say “check the app” instead of guessing.
How far ahead to join, whether you need a recent purchase, and state limits are all called out.
Every entry shows when we checked it, and is flagged if it hasn't been re-checked in 90 days.
It varies: Krispy Kreme needs 4 weeks; Starbucks and Donut King issue rewards on the 1st of your birthday month, so add your birthday before the month starts; others just need you registered before your birthday. The planner above works out each date for you.
Chatime, Muffin Break, Max Brenner, Gelatissimo and others require a purchase on your member account within a set period before your birthday (90 days for Chatime). We flag this on each entry.
Some stores check ID with your date of birth, so bring a licence or passport to be safe.
Yes — programs change. Each entry shows when we checked it and links to the official terms; tap through before you go. Spot something stale? Let us know on the feedback page.
