      Most ice cream shops send out their birthday rewards 7 to 14 days before your actual birthday, so be sure to register at least a month in advance.

    2. Download the apps
      Many stores have transitioned from email coupons to app-only rewards, so having the app installed on your phone ensures you won’t miss out.

    3. Check local participation
      Double-check with your local franchise location, as some independently owned spots may have slightly different redemption rules.
