McDonald's launches new rewards app offering free Big Macs or McFlurries

Fast food giant McDonald's has launched its new reward scheme - and you can get free fries or burgers. Those who download the McDonald's app will now be able to collect a point for every penny they spend.

And in this case, points really do mean prizes, as you can get a free mini McFlurry, coffee, or small fries for just 1,500 MyMcDonald's points. While 2,500 points can net a range of goodies such as a Vegetable Deluxe or a Bacon Mayo Chicken.

Keen McDonald's fans who earn up to 4,000 points will be able to enjoy a free BigMac or McChicken Sandwich. There is also an option to donate to charity at each point milestone.

To help launch the rewards scheme, McDonald's has buddied up with former X Factor star Rylan and a team of household names including Love Island's Chris Hughes and I'm a Celebrity....Get Me Out of Here! winner Vicky Pattison. They have been travelling around the country giving out treats and rewards points.

Chris jumped in the chain's McFlurry van to dish out frozen treats to keep the people of Cardiff cool. He was also handing out limited-edition McDonald’s merch including bucket hats, cross body bags and branded water bottles, and gave out thousands of points to fans, allowing them to kickstart their Rewards experience.

Talking about the event Chris said: “It’s been a great day as always with the guys at McDonald’s. I’ve been gifting fans with exclusive merch and McFlurry treats, pulling some of the customers for a chat and surprising them with free MyMcDonald’s Rewards points.”
