When to sign up for birthday freebies
Most brands require you to join their loyalty program before your birthday arrives. Signing up 2 to 4 weeks in advance gives rewards enough time to reach your inbox or app. A handful of programs — notably Sephora and Ulta — set a 30-day minimum membership period, so earlier is always better.Build your birthday haul now so you have a checklist ready to work through.
