What do you get from the Max & Erma's birthday reward?

The program page says members 'receive gifts for your birthday' but does not say what the gift is. Directories disagree: Hey It's Free says a free dessert, Birthday Catalog a free cup of soup, Freebie Depot a half dozen cookies, Birthday Bananas a free burger.

When can you use the Max & Erma's birthday reward?

The Max & Erma's program page does not state a redemption window; check the expiry on the reward itself when it arrives. Many rewards last a week or the whole birthday month.

Do you need to buy something to get it?

The page's footnote says '*Restrictions apply. Minimum purchase required.' Hey It's Free says the dessert needs a $10+ purchase.
