Before you go

Ontario birthday freebie questions

Do birthday freebies work everywhere in Ontario?

Not always. A rewards program can work in the province while one franchise or location does not take part. Use the city guide when we have one and check the selected location before making a special trip.

Which Ontario city guide has the most checked offers?

Toronto currently has 24 checked offers in its published guide. Counts can change as programs and locations are rechecked.

Do I need to join birthday rewards before my birthday?

Many programs need an account, app, earlier purchase or an advance sign-up. Others are easier. Read the timing note on each offer before you plan your stops.

Can I use Canada-wide birthday offers in Ontario?

Yes when the program has a participating location or eligible online option in the province. The Canada-wide section below gives you a few useful programs to check first.
