   With three toddlers, I’ve been using this app for months! It’s been awesome to see what deals I can score. Typically we use the $2 off $10 purchase coupon, but I love when the free Happy Meal with purchase of a Happy Meal is in there! It also keeps track of your McCafe beverage purchases, so buy 5, get one free! Definitely don’t go to McDonald’s without this app!

  Just use the kiosk and place multiple orders. I did it all the time. There’s a place in the to right hand corner that you click to scan an offer. Super easy once you know about it!

  or if you are with your family, have your teen place one order with their phone, and you do a separate one. or have husband place one order separate from you, for example.

  Is the kiosk inside the store or outside?

  inside. and not all stores have it. in my area, only 2 stores have it, while maybe 6 do not.

   I’ve had this app for over a year. It never works. Never! Nothing will load or scan. Frustrating! Called customer service.. I was told that they are aware of the issue.
   I wish it would work.. grr!

  For me it always works with the food items; never with the McCafe drinks (which I buy regularly). I also contacted customer service and they said they were working on the issue. At least they sent me a coupon for a free drink.

  Make sure your location is turned on and wi-fi is turned off. I work at McDonald’s and this usually resolves the issue.

   This is a great app. Here are a couple of tips……1) turn of your Wi-Fi If you are having trouble with the app at the McDonald’s location. I don’t know why, but mine doesn’t work either, if Wi-Fi is on. 2) Check the offers once you are near or arrive at that McD’s……they can sure change and often more are added once you are close to the restaurant. Hope this helps!

  Mine still uses boxes. My daughter got one yesterday. I think sometimes they use bags for certain advertisements.

  another trick i love for when the offer is get a sandwich free with any purchase — just buy a cookie or $1 drink or cheap cone to get the more expensive thing for free.

    I use mine a LOT!!! My daughter always wants to go to McDonald’s on her way to work. We are constantly getting free food. For a while they had a free McCafe drink with any purchase so I would get the $1.50 breakfast meal and a free smoothie. It was also counting towards the buy so many get one free. You can’t beat that!!!

    Might be a silly question but can you use the app in the drive thru, or just going inside and ordering? Thanks.

  rebecca October 6, 2017 at 11:05 am MST

  YES — i easily use at the drive through all the time.
  last fall and winter my area had free 4-pc nuggets a couple times a week, just free with no other purchase necessary. i cruised through the drive-through and picked it up all the time and they were always friendly and easy-going about it.

  Yes you can use it in drive thru. But only one offer per car. Make sure your location is on and update the app when it’s available.

    The ninjago happy meals have a free kids admission to LEGO Land (with adult purchase) coupon. Good until 8/2018.

    Also love the app. McCafé lunch card is awesome. Buy 5 $2 smalls and get a free any size! Often have a buy any item and get a free McCafé.

    My app always has free fries Friday– with any purchase (even the $1 items) you get a FREE medium fry. I take my preschooler there almost every Friday for a cheap lunch date.

    I have a luv/hate relationship with the APP lol. I keep deleting it because I keep starting a diet and than I find out theres a free McCafe with any purchase (if they had decaf I would have two every day) or some team won so a free Signature sandwich with ANY purchase. Or I don’t feel like cooking, especially on Fridays. I have probably deleted and added the APP like 100 times lol. I wish we got the B1G1 free happy Meal offer.

    Love the app in my area they had free items based on runs from minor league baseball games this summer. We had free Big Mac’s, 4 or 6 piece nuggets, and double cheeseburgers
    During college basketball we had free large fries or 6 piece nuggets depending on scores. These free items require no additional purchase. I have no problem getting only the free item with a total of zero.

    Not a huge mcd fan. I always thought their hamburger meat tasted funny, but i do love their McCafe drinks and an occasional McNugget. But they are gotten better over the last 2 years or so and their app is awesome. Such great freebies, i may now be a McDs fan

    There’s been a lot of BOGO or $1 off McCafe beverages for the past week. If you don’t like hamburgers try the new chicken fingers, they taste great! In some neighborhoods they are selling out of this menu item. Don’t forget to check for game day promos!
