Anchorage birthday picks with addresses, account steps and month-versus-day timing for five programs.
In Anchorage for 2026, three birthday treats have confirmed local addresses: IHOP, Red Robin Dimond and Baskin-Robbins. Two more account-based birthday gifts from Ulta Beauty and Starbucks round out the list with strict timing rules. All five need a member account with your birthday saved ahead of time.
PanCoins are IHOP's reward points for purchases and birthday credits. Red Robin Royalty is Red Robin's points program for diners. Plan by program type: month-long treats allow a flexible visit, while birthday-day offers do not.

Where can you pick up a treat in Anchorage?
According to IHOP, the Anchorage restaurant is at 11100 Old Seward Hwy, Anchorage, AK 99515. The phone is (907) 341-4125 and hours are 7am-9pm daily for dine-in, pickup and online ordering. Red Robin lists its Dimond restaurant in Anchorage, so Royalty members can redeem the birthday treat locally, as shown on the Dimond location page.
Baskin-Robbins lists 800 E Dimond Blvd Suite 104, Anchorage, AK 99515 in its locator. According to Baskin-Robbins, the birthday email coupon works at participating shops. Check participation with the shop before you visit.
How do IHOP and Red Robin birthday credits work?
According to IHOP, Rewards members automatically receive 5 PanCoins on the first day of their birthday month, as described in the Rewards FAQ. Members earn 1 PanCoin per $5 spent and redeem 3 PanCoins for a short stack in the Stack Market. That math means the 5-coin birthday credit covers pancakes.
Unused PanCoins expire one year after earning. Use the birthday credit within that window. According to Red Robin, Royalty members receive a birthday treat during their birthday month.
They also earn 1 point per $1 spent and receive a $10 reward per 100 points.
What birthday setup do email and app programs require?
According to Baskin-Robbins, members who share their birthday and opt into emails receive a birthday email coupon. The coupon is for free product or a discount at participating shops. According to Ulta Beauty, Rewards members with a birthday in their profile are offered one free gift per calendar year during their birthday month.
It is redeemable in stores or at Ulta.com but excludes Ulta at Target, DoorDash, Instacart and similar marketplaces. According to Starbucks, members must have joined at least 7 days before their birthday, saved their birthday and made a prior star-earning transaction. The birthday reward is auto-added on their birthday and valid only that date.
Starbucks states these rules in terms effective March 10, 2026 in the Rewards Terms of Use.
