Krispy Kreme sends every Krispy Kreme Rewards member a birthday gift, good for 30 days, and Krispy Kreme doesn’t say what the gift is. Rewards is free, and Krispy Kreme doesn’t mention a purchase you have to make first.
What Krispy Kreme Is
Krispy Kreme is a doughnut chain best known for its Original Glazed doughnuts, and it sells coffee, hot chocolate and doughnut dots as well. The birthday gift is part of Krispy Kreme Rewards, its loyalty program.
How To Get The Krispy Kreme Birthday Deal
Join Krispy Kreme Rewards by downloading the app or creating an account, and make sure your birthdate is on it. The gift is sent on the date of your birthday listed in your account.

In the app or online, choose Apply to Order and add the item to your cart.
What The Gift Is
Krispy Kreme calls it a sweet birthday gift and doesn’t name the item. Its rewards menu is made up of doughnuts and beverages, so expect a treat, and check your account on your birthday to see which treat you got.
Where You Can Use It
Krispy Kreme says rewards work online, in the app, in shop and in the drive-thru, at participating U.S. shops. Some licensed locations in airports, casinos and other places don’t take Rewards. Orders placed through third-party delivery platforms can’t use rewards, and online you can use only one reward per transaction.

New members get a free doughnut with any purchase for joining. Members earn 10 points for every $1 spent in shop or on the app, and 2X points for their anniversary.
Eligibility and Cost
Krispy Kreme Rewards is free to join, with no fees. You have to be at least 13, and members under the age of majority need a parent or guardian’s supervision. The program runs in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia.
