McDonald's giving away DOUBLE reward points for two weeks - but there's a catch

McDonald's is offering its customers double reward points starting from tomorrow - but there is a slight catch.

Fast food lovers who enjoy a quick breakfast on their morning commute can also be rewarded with more points - but only if they order via the McDonald's App.

Double points are available on all breakfast orders before 11am from Monday, March 6 to Sunday, March 12, the fast food chain has announced today.

It is the second week in a row that McDonald's is offering double points on breakfast orders.

McDonald's said customers can choose from their morning favourites - including a Double Bacon & Egg McMuffin or a sweet stack of Pancakes drizzled in golden syrup.

The fast food company said: "Each breakfast option offers double points for customers."

To earn extra points, customers will need to make a purchase via the app and opt into MyMcDonald's Rewards.

When customers reach 1,500 points, they can choose between menu items including small fries, a hash brown, or a side salad.

With 2,500 points, a Double Cheeseburger or Vegetable Deluxe is on the cards.

Finally, with 4,000 points, customers can choose between menu favourites such as six Chicken McNuggets or a Big Mac.

Customers who feel generous can also donate the cash equivalent of their points to BBC Children in Need, FareShare and Ronald McDonald House Charities.

McDonald's said it offers the option as it wants to help fund and support youth work while reducing food poverty and waste in the UK.

The app can be downloaded via Google Play or the App Store - and to redeem points, customers need to sign up and opt into MyMcDonald's Rewards.

The offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer, McDonald's said.

Last month, McDonald's announced it was trialling a new budget range of Savers Meals at some of its stores.

The range includes three different burgers which come with both a side and a drink and have an overall cost of under a fiver.

The trial includes the Single Cheeseburger, Mayo Chicken or Double Cheeseburger.

The Cheeseburger and Mayo Chicken Saver Meals are priced at £3.99, with the Double Cheeseburger at £4.79.

The deal is being trialled at around 120 restaurants across the South East of the country from February 15 to May 9.

If proven to be successful, the fast food giant will likely roll out the new Saver Meals menu at all of its stores in the country.

It comes after the fast food company announced an increase in prices for five of its popular menu items - including Mayo Chicken, Bacon Mayo Chicken, Bacon Double Cheeseburger, and Triple Cheeseburger - due to the cost of living crisis.

In a statement, a McDonald's spokesperson told the Mirror: "We are committed to offering great tasting food at affordable prices. However, like many businesses, the impact of the increase in food and energy costs continues to affect our company and our franchisees.

"We carefully review and adjust pricing to offer great value and quality.

"At the same time, we continue to work hard on how we can provide our customer's value where it matters most, with personalised offers and rewards through the MyMcDonald’s Rewards scheme."
