Hi there! I just spoke with customer service. You would enter your information for that. Hope this helps!
Oh thanks! Would i be able to get the bear for the dollar? How would i prove she is 1, Just say?
Yes. You can also call in to your location to be sure on how they might honor it for you. Hoping that helps!
Build a bear sent a coupon for a free bear carrier with $10 purchase for my son’s birthday month! We got his birthday bear, bear carrier, outfit and accessory for cheap!! I had something like $79 worth of merchandise and paid $15oop.
That’s SO awesome, E! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Is there a link for the JC Penny Portrait?
Hi there! I do find the link listed in the post above. Be sure to head over here for the JCPenney Portrait Birthday Club. Hope that helps!
Thank you for including a couple of things that aren’t food focused. For those of us with Celiac/food intolerances, it is difficult sometimes to find economical ways to celebrate that are not centered around food.
You’re very welcome, Kathleen!
At my local Barnes&Noble, your child can pick a gluten-free krispie treat; it’s in a sealed bag.
Red Robin also has a free cheeseburger for your child!
YUM! Thanks, Cheri!
Thank you for posting these! But the link for Baskin Robin’s isa Canadian site, and I can’t find where to sign up for the same program in the US.
You are so welcome! I just updated that! It does look like right now they want you to use the app. Hope this hleps, cheezeheadtn!
