McDonald’s loyalty scheme to launch this week

McDonald’s is rolling out its loyalty scheme nationwide this week after a successful first trial in a few select stores.

The move means customers can earn points on their spending at the fast-food chain, which they can then redeem on free food, including Big Macs, or donate them to charities including Children in Need, FareShare and Ronald McDonald House Charities.

MyMcDonald’s Rewards will be available for customers to sign up to from July 20th via the McDonald’s App, where they will earn 100 points for every £1 they spend.

Every penny spent equates to 1 point and there are rewards available for customers to treat themselves to. Customers will be able to start earning and redeeming their points from July 20th.
