Birthday Hack: Here are the freebies Aussies can get every year!

When it comes to treating yourself, nothing beats getting something for free - especially on your birthday.

Luckily, here in Australia, there are many shops and businesses that offer free items or discounts to customers on their special day as a way to show their appreciation and serve up a fun surprise.



Just take a look at the list of offers we've put together for you below; there's free food at restaurants, vouchers, and discounts at multiple stores, as well as cheaper entertainment items… All yours just for signing up for a loyalty program or adding your birthdate to an online account.

Be sure to always read the terms and conditions of each offer before redeeming to make sure you're eligible for the freebies, and sign up at least four to six weeks before your big day so you can take full advantage of the bonuses.

Without further ado, here are the best birthday offers available around:
