McDonald’s launches huge discount on menu today in rare deal

McDonald’s is attempting to help ease us back into the working week with a one-day only deal available on its app.

The fast-food giant regularly tempts customers in with its offers - and today's one is a bit special.

In a rare move, McDonald's is offering 15 percent off the entire menu - for one day only.

To take advantage of the offer you’ll need to download the McDonald's app - once you’ve done that, head to the ‘Offers’ section and the deal will be available.

You’ll need to spend £8 to qualify, but I reckon that’s easily done, don’t you?

The offer is valid for the entire day - 12.01am this morning through to 11.59pm tonight - but you can only use it once, so choose wisely before placing your order.

After almost 50-years in the UK, McDonald’s launched its very first reward scheme in July last year.

Speaking about the new scheme at the time, Michelle Graham-Clare, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at McDonald’s UK and Ireland, said it was exciting to see it officially rolled out following a trial.

She said in a statement: "We’re incredibly excited to launch the MyMcDonald’s Rewards scheme in the UK.

"As well as rewarding our customers with our iconic menu items, we’re delighted to give customers the option of donating points to our brilliant charity partners, which we know will make an incredible difference to the lives of many thousands of young people and families across the country.

"We were delighted with the response from customers during our recent trial and I am so pleased we’re able to launch nationwide today."

Every pound spent at the fast-food giant equates to 100 points for the customer, and when they have collected enough points, they will have the option to exchange them for a free item off the menu - such as some fries or a cheeseburger.

The more points you have the more expensive item you can grab yourself.

For example 1,500 points will get you a small fries, mini McFlurry or a hash brown; while 5,500 points can bag you a free McSpicy, Mighty McMuffin, or a double quarter pounder with cheese.

If they prefer, however, customers can instead donate their points to charities including Children in Need and Ronald McDonald House Charities.

According to Maccies, points are converted directly into cash donations, with 1,500 points becoming £1.50, 2,500 points becoming £2.50 and 4,000 points, seeing the charity receive a donation of £4.00.
