What counts as no purchase necessary?
Sephora Beauty Insider is the retailer membership program for birthday gifts. Members can redeem one gift in store during the birthday month with no purchase necessary. Online redemption requires a $25 minimum purchase, as stated by Sephora in Sephora Beauty Insider Terms & Conditions.
IHOP Rewards is free to join and uses PanCoins, the program credits, for food rewards. It deposits 5 PanCoins on the 1st of the birthday month for a free full stack. The listed reward is Original Buttermilk pancakes, as described by IHOP on the IHOP birthday pancake page.
Members must join before the 1st to receive that year's reward. Denny's Rewards is free to join and covers an Everyday Value Slam, a value meal, as the yearly birthday reward. The reward is listed for members at participating restaurants, as stated by Denny's in Denny's value menu announcement.
Participation and yearly timing set the redemption limits. These are direct redemptions, not drawings.
Where can you redeem in Chula Vista?
Denny's locations directory lists three open Chula Vista restaurants at 110 Bonita Rd, 2110 Birch Rd, and 692 E St. Check that your chosen site participates in the birthday Slam. Review the listing for participating status before your visit.
Sephora stores directory lists Sephora Otay Ranch at 2015 Birch Rd Ste 605 in Chula Vista. Choose in-store redemption during the birthday month to use the no-purchase-necessary path. Online checkout triggers the $25 minimum instead.
