Our team is a fan of the MyMcDonald’s Rewards program…

The McDonald’s app is a no-brainer! I get two hamburger patties with cheese and a Coke Zero, and it’s so much easier to order on the app versus trying to explain to them that I don’t want anything but the meat. AND it’s cheaper to order it that way vs ordering a hamburger and saying no bun or other stuff.  I could cash in points and get a Happy Meal plus what is on the screen (shown above) for only $4.18 total . –  Angela, Hip Sidekick


“100% best is Mcdonald’s. Freeeeeee food!!! Do NOT eat anywhere without checking to see if they have an app! 😂” – Paige, Hip Sidekick


Even without Bonus Points, I’ve found that earning rewards happens SO quickly. We’ve earned lots of freebies even though we don’t visit that often. The redemption rewards are broken down into tiers. For example, I can choose from a vanilla cone, McChicken, and more for 1,500 points all the way up to a free Happy Meal or Big Mac for 6,000 points.

And you can redeem your rewards either through a mobile order or scanning your code at the drive-thru – easy peasy! – Liza, Hip Sidekick
