Whether your birthday's next week or in another 364 days, truly good deals can be snagged with just a little effort. I've found a lot that I can personally vouch for. Get to signing up!

My favorite so far is Benihana's $30 off the birthday boy/girl's tab for signing up for their e-club.

• Texas de Brazil is a close second with a B1G1 free dinner.
• Aveda full-size product, up to $24 value. Also get another sample for signing up!
• Noodles & Co free meal
• Cold Stone Creamery free "creation"
• Victoria's Secret $10 off if you sign up for their Angel card
• Wing Stop 5 free wings with drink purchase
• Starbucks free drink for signing up for their club
• Old Navy "birthday surprise" [not sure what this is!] for signing up for their email list
• Caribou Coffee free drink for signing up for their club
• Anthropology free birthday candle necklace and 10% off [this isn't so great, but I love their marketing, so...] for joining their loyalty club 
• Oberweis birthday treat club
• Bebe $10 gift certificate when you join Club Bebe

*Just note that most of these deals have to be redeemed in your birthday month, and a few are only on your birthday [boo].
