WASHINGTON — Reward programs, including birthday freebies and discounts, have long been a way for brands to build loyalty and incentivize spending. But now some companies are becoming a bit more stingy — and customers are taking notice.

Still, the announcement felt off-putting for many Dunkin’ customers, who shared frustrations online. In the months following Dunkin’s announcement, dozens of Twitter users have expressed disappoinment over learning that the free birthday drink was gone. Some joked that they “no longer run on Dunkin,’” a dig at the chain’s slogan, and others suggested that they might take their future business elsewhere.
