McDonald's launch VIP gold card offering free food - and you can get one

McDonald's has finally given in to demands and announced the release of a VIP gold card.

The golden tickets will give lucky customers free food from the chain for a year, with 1,000 of the coveted cards up for grabs.

The only way you can try your luck at getting your hands on one is by playing McDonald's Monopoly, which returns on March 25.

The VIP gold cards will be among the shopping vouchers, free meals and £100,000 cash prizes on offer when fast food fans order from the iconic menu.

It's the first time ever customers will have the chance to bag one free meal a week, redeemable through the McDonald's app.

A spokesperson from McDonald's told The Sun : "It's official... gold is the new black.

"After years of requests, McDonald's is launching a VIP Gold Card...no Brit Award required.

"The ONLY way you can get your hands on a McDonald's Gold Card is to play, if Stormzy and Ed Sheeran want to get one, they'll have to play Monopoly."

McDonald's hinted at the exciting release on Monday as part of the build up to McDonald's Monopoly, tweeting: "You know what’s coming. And this year it’s going to be even more special. Watch this space #McDonaldsVIP."

It then confirmed the news with a post today, stating: "The game has changed. The #McDonaldsVIP Gold Card is here. Exclusively available through Monopoly from 25th March. No blue tick required."

It's already got customers begging to get their hands on one, as one said: "To be honest I think I should get one of these McDonald’s gold cards they’re giving away as monopoly prizes considering I spend about £150 on McDonald’s every single month. Surely I qualify for one? @McDonalds UK I can send u receipts for proof. Pls xxx."

Another wrote: "It’s actually so sad how excited I am for McDonald’s monopoly to come back on the 25th of March."
