FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Do I get a free Blizzard for my birthday? Not necessarily. Dairy Queen promises a "special birthday offer" rather than a specific item. The reward you see in the app may be a discount, a BOGO, or a free item depending on the current promotion and your location.
Do I have to buy something to qualify? Yes. You must place at least one order of $1 or more in the 45 days before your birthday. Without that qualifying order, no birthday offer is issued.
How long do I have to use it? The offer is valid for 7 days from when it is issued.
Can I redeem the birthday offer at any Dairy Queen? It is valid at participating DQ Rewards locations. Dairy Queen is heavily franchised, so confirm with your local store if unsure.
What if I don't have the app? The birthday offer is delivered through the DQ app. Download it from the App Store or Google Play to access it.
Does the birthday offer renew every year? Yes, provided you keep meeting the qualifying-order requirement in the 45 days before each birthday.
