If your Dairy Queen birthday reward didn’t show up
Did you order in the 45 days before your birthday?
DQ only sends the offer to members who completed an order of at least $1, signed in, in the 45 days leading up to their birthday.[1]
Is the wrong birthday on your account?
You can't edit it yourself. DQ asks you to contact it through the My DQ tab at the top of the DQ app's Home page.[1]
Kids and families
Dairy Queen doesn't say whether a child can hold an account or use the birthday reward. We only list what the chain's own pages state, so check with Dairy Queen before promising a child the treat.
