Make a plan for your birthday.

Start with these three steps

1. Choose a few brands you actually visit

   Use the birthday rewards directory to make a shortlist. A shared haul records someone else's redemptions; your available rewards can differ.

2. Check the details before joining

   Read the brand's signup deadline, membership or purchase requirements, birthday window and participating locations. Start with Starbucks program details or Sephora program details, then confirm current terms with the merchant.

3. Save your picks and follow the next steps

   Your Birthday Plan groups saved rewards and recorded redemptions. Joining Birthday Hunter does not automatically join a brand's program. For more ideas, browse the birthday guides.
