Where to Find Your Sonic Birthday Reward in the App
After you sign up for the Sonic app and add your birthdate, your birthday reward will not show up right away. Many people think it appears on their exact birthday, but that’s not how it works.
You need to open the app at the beginning of your birthday month.
Tap on the “Rewards” tab in the app. That’s where your free shake and free side will be listed. You can add them to your cart and use them anytime that month.
Make sure your birthday is entered correctly in your profile, so the rewards show up on time. If you don’t see them, try restarting the app or checking back in a day or two.
Pro Tips to Maximize Your Birthday Freebies
- Order ahead through the app to skip the line
- Set a reminder to redeem before the month ends
- Combine your birthday reward with Sonic app deals
- Use multiple accounts in your household to collect more rewards (with correct birthdays)
