How we check the small print.

Reward listings start with official sources.

We review a brand’s own reward terms, program FAQ, or birthday offer page. Listings identify the U.S. program, the redemption window, membership conditions, purchase requirements, and any advance setup we can verify. The source link and review date appear with the offer.

“Checked” means the published information was reviewed. It does not mean we personally redeemed the reward, tested every store, or confirmed real-time stock. A source can change after review, so check the official terms before making a trip or purchase.

Missing information stays missing.

If a brand does not specify a registration deadline, we say so. We do not turn an unknown condition into “no restriction.” Online and in-store purchase rules are treated separately. A no-purchase filter also excludes rewards that explicitly require prior qualifying spending.

Words and language guides.

Birthday wishes are writing ideas, not quotations attributed to famous people. Adapt them to your relationship. Examples of personal memories are illustrative, not claims about real people.

Language entries link to the reference used for the greeting. Context and politeness can vary, and a reference check is not a claim of native-speaker review. We do not label an approximate spelling as a guaranteed pronunciation.

Statistics need a period and a method.

Our birthday rankings identify the historical dataset, years covered, publisher’s source attribution, and calculation. They describe that dataset, not the birthday distribution of everyone living in the United States today. Cumulative births and average births per occurrence answer different questions; February 29 is explained explicitly.

See the statistical methodology for calculations, limitations, and the original data.

AI assistance and responsibility.

AI tools help draft message ideas, research source candidates, and create illustrations. An AI response alone is not evidence for a reward or statistic: factual entries must link to the underlying source. Illustrations are decorative, and do not show a guaranteed gift selection.

Corrections and commercial links.

If something looks wrong, compare the linked source with the listing and note the specific condition that changed. Our contact page explains the currently available feedback options.

The current preview has no sponsored listings, advertisements, or affiliate links. If commercial arrangements are introduced, affected links or placements will be disclosed and this policy will be updated.
