It used to be that the bday steak was honored even if it wasn't on your exact birthday. At one time, it was honored as long as it was during the same month as your bday. My b'day was yesterday. Significant other lives out of town.What is the policy?

It has to be on your bday. In the 23 years living in Lakeland it has been the same.

Yes, it has to be on your birthday. They used to honor within a few days of your birthday, but too many exceptions were expected by customers, so now strictly on your birthday.

Their rules are it has to be your birthday... No exceptions

To my knowledge it has to be on your birthday as the person has to show their license to prove it is in fact the day they were born. That being said there may be some extenuating circumstances that they would take into consideration.
