McDonald's customers are being reminded to hold onto their receipts, as a little-known method can unlock significant savings on meals. The trick, highlighted by money-saving expert Jordon Cox, involves completing a short survey on the receipt to receive a voucher for a £2.99 meal via email. This voucher can then be used repeatedly, as each purchase generates a new receipt to continue the cycle.
The offer, part of McDonald's 'Food for Thought' customer feedback initiative, is available at participating branches across the UK. However, it is limited to UK residents aged 18 or over, and the survey must be completed within 60 days of receiving the receipt. Each voucher is valid for single use and must be redeemed before its expiry date.
It is important to note that the £2.99 meal does not include a drink, which must be purchased separately at full price. The deal includes a portion of fries or a side salad, paired with one of six main menu items. The promotion applies to in-restaurant purchases only and is not valid for online delivery orders. Customers can use the voucher at the drive-thru by informing staff when placing their order.
Some savvy customers have found ways to start the voucher cycle with minimal spending. TikTok user Caroline Butler claimed she purchased a 10p sachet of ketchup to get a receipt, enabling her to access the £2.99 meal deal. This method allows customers to enjoy meals at less than half the usual price, with a Big Mac and fries normally costing £7.28.
