As of 10/30/2013, I have used 20 of the coupons!!  Most of the people who received the coupons/certificates were very nice.  There were only a few that seemed to give an attitude or was mean about using the coupons.   I had good experiences too.  I remember the nicest people were at Noodles N' Co. in Rockford, IL and Culver's on Harrison Ave. In Rockford, IL.  Denny's in Rockford, IL, on my birthday, forgot to put my pancakes in my bag to go.  The Steak N' Shake, also in Rockford, IL,  did not put the correct ingredients on my hamburger (I only ordered the free hamburger and fries).  At Sbarro's in Cherryvale Mall, the guy behind the counter, shoved my coupon in my face because I didn't see that the coupon said I needed to purchase a beverage.  I had no problem purchasing the beverage.  He was just being a jerk because I was using a coupon. The Cinnabon in Cherryvale Mall in Cherry Valley, IL gave me two coupons.  The first one I used was for a Chocolate Mocha latte Chill and the girls were so sweet.  The second time, was for a minibon.  The girls were super sweet but they charged me 22 cents sales tax. the The Dunkin' Doughnuts on Lake Street in Addison, IL had a guy make me a free Medium Beverage.  He rolled his eyes when I put the coupon on the counter.  He read it closely as I ordered a Chocolate Latte.  He asked if I wanted sugar.  I told him that I did.  He gave me my beverage and it was hot milky water.  I wouldn't recommend going to those places with your coupons. Find a different location to use them.  I was told that Redbox and Panda Express also gives you things for your Birthday.  Last Year, I think Redbox sent me a text message for a free movie.  This year, I didn't receive anything from either place. There are other places I have signed up for but it was in the same month of my birthday and anniversary, so I cannot say that I signed up in time to receive the promotions.   Walmart and Target do not do Bday promotions but they do have printable coupons on their websites and walmart gives free samples sometimes too!    Please write a post if you know of more places to get legitimate freebies.  I will do the same and keep you updated on the progress.
