Set Up Your Birthday Rewards Early

• Complete your profile: Add the correct birthday, email, phone number, and any requested family information.
• Check the reward terms: Look for a purchase requirement, participating locations, redemption dates, and whether the offer appears in an app or email.

You do not need to collect every reward in one day. Choose the meal, dessert, drink, or gift you would enjoy most and use it before the date shown in your account.
