Tim Hortons Birthday Treat: Free Doughnut (How to Claim)

What you get

Free Tims Rewards members get a free doughnut of their choice during their birthday month. If you’ve reached Gold tier, the reward gets an upgrade — 1 free doughnut plus 2 complimentary regular Iced Capps to share.

• Open the Tim Hortons deal page
• Open the Tim Hortons merchant page

Quick decision

Worth signing up for even if you’re not a regular Tims customer — the app is free and the reward is decent for zero spend, but it only triggers if your birthday is registered ahead of time. If you want another zero-minimum-spend, app-based birthday freebie to pair with it, Boat Noodle’s 2 free bowls works the same way.

Requirements at a glance

• Free Tims Rewards app membership
• Birthday must be registered in your profile ahead of your birthday month
• Reward tier depends on your loyalty tier — Red gets the doughnut, Gold gets the doughnut plus 2 Iced Capps
• Redemption is through the app during your birthday month

How to claim

1. Sign up for free Tims Rewards via the app
2. Register your birthday in your profile
3. During your birthday month, check the app for your reward
4. Redeem in-store

What usually goes wrong

• Registering your birthday too late — do it well before your birthday month starts, not on the day itself, or you risk missing the reward window entirely
• Expecting the Iced Capp upgrade on a fresh account — that only applies once you’ve reached Gold tier, so don’t expect it on a brand-new Red-tier sign-up
• Not checking the app until later in the month — the reward is issued via the app, so check early rather than assuming it’ll show up automatically at the counter
• Assuming the doughnut choice is unlimited — it’s one doughnut of your choice, not a mix-and-match combo

Before you book

1. Register your birthday in the app well ahead of your birthday month.
2. Check your Tims Rewards tier so you know what to expect — Red vs Gold.
3. Open the app before you head to the outlet to confirm the reward is loaded.
