It happens only once every four years, check out these Leap Day Freebies, Deals and Discounts
That one extra day, that gets our calendars back in sync with earth’s orbit. That one day, those born on February 29, can celebrate on their actual birth date. And, when restaurants and businesses love to come up with a little extra promotional mojo.
What’s the purpose of Leap Day? Every four years, an extra day is added to the calendar at the end of February — also known as Leap Day. The additional 24 hours ensures the calendar is in alignment with the Earth’s movement around the sun.
The actual time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun is slightly longer than 365 days. In fact, it’s approximately 365.2421 days. The difference may seem insignificant to most. However, over decades and centuries, the missing quarter of a day per year adds up and would through the annual calendar into chaos.
As a result, it is necessary to add an extra day every four years to make up for the lost time. That’s the reason for Leap Day!
Given Leap Day only occurs every four years, now’s the time to take the extra day to enjoy extra savings at many popular restaurants and businesses.
Jump around on Feb. 29, 2024 for lots of Leap Day fun and savings.
The deals are available at participating locations, while supplies last. Limit one offer per customer.
Did you know there are about 200,000 Leap Day babies in the U.S.? “Leaplings”, as they’re often referred to, are people born on February 29.
Some deals are exclusive to Leaplings, while others are open to all customers. Read the fine print carefully before making plans.
