McDonald's giving away VIP Gold Cards with free meals as Monopoly game returns in days

McDonald's Monopoly is finally making a return this summer after being cancelled last year due to the coronavirus crisis.

The game usually starts around spring time, so this will be the first time it has been run in summer months.

Ahead of its launch, the fast-food chain is giving away ten VIP Gold Cards, which include free meals for fans.

The VIP Gold Card - the first of its kind to be released by McDonald’s - will give the lucky holder one free medium meal each week for one whole year.

McDonald’s has already confirmed it’ll be giving away 1,000 of them when its Monopoly game returns for six weeks on August 25.

But Maccies fans now also have the chance to get their hands on one before Monopoly starts.

In an update today, the burger giant says it is giving away ten VIP Gold Cards through its My McDonald’s app.

To enter, you’ll need to sign up to the app and enter its competition by August 24.

Maccies hasn't revealed what else will be up for grabs this year as part of its Monopoly promo, but it is likely to be a mixture of instant wins and bigger prizes.

In 2019, some of the top Monopoly prizes included £100,000 in cash (four given away), a Mini Cooper car (20 given away), £2,000 holiday money (50 given away) and a PlayStation 4 console (650 given away).

Smaller prizes - and the ones that are easier to get - included medium McDonald's meals (2,000,000 given away) and a £50 voucher for Boohoo (18,000 given away).

McDonald's Monopoly essentially mimics the classic Monopoly board, with customers able to collect game pieces that represent roads and train stations.

Then once you collect a set, you win a prize - the rarer that set is (so if fewer pieces are made) the better the giveaway will be.

For example, you needed the notoriously hard dark blue properties to claim the top £100,000 cash prize in 2019.
