Don't Forget to Sign Up for Birthday Clubs!

Since today is my birthday (happy birthday to me!), I was reminded how important it is to sign-up for Birthday Clubs from your favorite restaurants.  I sign-up as I find them;  it's quick and easy.  Then, basically I forget about it until my birthday rolls around.  In the last two weeks I have received at least 25 emails with free meal/ dessert offers from my favorite restaurants!  Some of them are especially generous, such as the "Up to $30 Meal" at Benihana's. 

So, now you want to know how to sign-up before your birthday, right?!  Just do a search for your favorite restaurant, whether a local eatery or national chain.  I have found at least 75% of them have a link from their main website to their Birthday Club or their Email Club.  Some of them will even give you a coupon for just signing up, then another on your birthday.  One suggestion--- set up a hotmail, yahoo, or gmail account just for this since you will occasionally get other emails from them which might clutter your main email box.
