This February marks a leap year—an occasion so special it only happens every four years. To celebrate, companies are offering unique sales of their own. Many of these deals are Feb. 29–themed. Think lobster dinners for $29 and hotel stays for 29% off. And if you’re born on leap day, you’re really in luck. Some of the best leap year deals and freebies are available exclusively to “leaplings.” Best birthday ever!
Keep checking back as we add more Leap Year deals!
Leap Day Food Deals
7-Eleven
On Feb. 29 in 2020, you could get a whole pizza (cheese, pepperoni or extreme meat) for just $2.29 at participating 7-Eleven stores! The offer was valid in-store while supplies lasted (with a limit of five per order), or available for delivery through the 7NOW delivery app. Plus, if you’re new to the app, they sent a $29 discount on any 7NOW delivery order over $50 when you used the code 29OFF50 at checkout. We expect a similar deal this year!
East Coast Wings and Grill
Four years ago, if you were born on leap day, you could head to East Coast Wings on February 29 and get a free entree with valid ID. They may bring this back!
Farmer Boys
Farmer Boys usually gifts “leaplings” a free Big Cheese cheeseburger to help them celebrate their once-every-four-year-birthday on Feb. 29. To get a free burger, you simply had to show your photo ID at a participating Farmer Boys location.

From Feb. 26-29, visit a participating location to get a large one-topping or two-topping pizza for $0.29 when you buy a large pizza at menu price.
