If you haven’t already heard, this year is a Leap Year. And it means pretty much only two things: We get an entire extra day in February and due to the rarity of having a February 29, every four years, many companies are rolling out special bargains and promotions in honor of the quadrennial day.
Here are 55 deals and promotions you can find on Leap Day!
Freebies for Leap Day babies
