How to save at McDonald's
A McDonald's discount code everyone wanted
One of the most searched McDonald's discount codes we saw was the Free McCaf drink with any purchase offer. It was a simple extra, and people were quick to grab it for breakfast runs and rushed lunch stops. The offer didn't stick around for long, so when it appeared on Latest Deals, it went fast.

McDonald's app: MyMcDonald's Rewards earns you free food
We've done the maths on this: the MyMcDonald's Rewards scheme in the app is the best way to save. You get one point for every penny you spend, and your first order in the app earns you 1,000 bonus points. That's the same as a £10 spend before you've even bought a thing. It adds up faster than you'd think, especially if you're grabbing a coffee or feeding the whole family.
Points land on almost everything you order. You can spend them on selected menu items or donate them to charity. There are also app-only deals and McDelivery rewards. NHS staff get 20% off when they register with an NHS email, though it can take up to 72 hours to verify.
Watch out though: from 1 January 2026, points expire after six months, so don't let them sit there. And delivery charges start at £0.99 plus service and small order fees, so going to collect is usually kinder to your wallet. Our move? Order through the app and redeem your points as soon as you have enough.

Money saving tips at McDonald's
Use the app
Download the McDonald's app before you order. That's where the best savings are, like exclusive deals, MyMcDonald's Rewards, and app-only delivery rewards. You'll also get 1,000 bonus points on your first order. Tidy start.
Collect points
MyMcDonald's Rewards gives you 1 point per penny spent, so even a small breakfast run adds up towards a freebie. You can redeem points on selected items or donate them to charity. Just don't leave them sitting too long. From 1 January 2026, points expire six months after they're earned.
Check NHS deal
If you work for the NHS, register with your NHS email in the app to unlock 20% off. Verification can take up to 72 hours, so sort it before you're stood at the till wondering why it hasn't appeared. Bit annoying, but worth it.
Watch delivery
McDelivery is handy, but not always the cheapest. Delivery fees start from £0.99, and service fees or small order fees may apply. If you're not in a rush, collection usually costs less.
Check exclusions
Most of the menu is available for delivery, but a few items are excluded. Ice cream cones and drinks with cream on top, like frappes and promotional McCafé hot drinks, won't be delivered. We've seen people get caught out, so check before you fill your basket.
Frequently asked questions about McDonald's
How do I use/apply a McDonald's discount code?
Pick a verified McDonald's discount code on Latest Deals that matches what you're ordering. Tap the orange 'see code' button to reveal it, then copy it.
Open the McDonald's app or head to McDelivery checkout, depending on how you're ordering. Add your food to the basket - burgers, fries, breakfast, chicken, wraps, whatever you're after. Look for the promo code, voucher, or offers box at checkout and paste the code in there.
Apply it and check the discount has actually come off before paying. If it hasn't, something's gone wrong. Try another code or check the terms.
What can I do if my McDonald's code isn't working?
First, check the basics: expiry date, minimum spend, and whether the code is for the app only or a specific offer.
Common snags with McDonald's codes:
- the code has expired
- it only works in the McDonald's app
- it's tied to a limited-time menu item
- delivery fees, service fees or small order fees push the total over or under the threshold
- you're using it on an excluded item, like ice cream cones or drinks with cream on top
If it still won't work, try a different device or re-enter the code carefully. A typo can ruin it, annoyingly. And if the offer is linked to MyMcDonald's Rewards or an app-only deal, make sure you're logged into the right account.
Does McDonald's have app-only deals and rewards?
Yes. The McDonald's app has exclusive deals and rewards, including MyMcDonald's Rewards and app-only McDelivery rewards.
If you buy McDonald's even semi-regularly, the app is worth having. The rewards stack up over time. You earn 1 point per penny spent on eligible purchases, and points can be redeemed for selected items or charity donations. There's also a first-order offer that gives 1,000 bonus points on your first order through the app.
Is there a McDonald's NHS or key worker discount?
Yes, McDonald's offers an NHS 20% offer through the app.
Register with an NHS email address and verification can take up to 72 hours to appear in the app. If you've just signed up and nothing's showing yet, give it time before assuming it's broken. Check the offer is visible in the app before placing your order.
How does MyMcDonald's Rewards work?
MyMcDonald's Rewards gives you 1 point for every penny spent on eligible purchases. You can redeem points for selected menu items or donate them to charity.
One thing to keep in mind: from 1 January 2026, points expire 6 months after they're earned. Don't let them sit there forever. Use them when you've got enough for something you actually want.
How much does McDelivery cost?
McDelivery fees vary depending on the platform and your location. McDonald's says delivery fees start from £0.99, and service fees plus small order fees may apply. You can order through the McDonald's app or partner apps like Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo. Availability also depends on the restaurant, because not every branch offers delivery.
Are there any items excluded from McDelivery?
Yes. McDelivery includes almost the full menu, but a couple of things are excluded. Ice cream cones and drinks with cream on top are not available, including frappes and promotional McCafé hot drinks. It's one of those little things that catches people out, so check before you set your heart on a specific drink.
McDonald's reviews
About McDonald's
McDonald’s UK is the fast-food chain you already know: burgers, fries, breakfast, chicken, wraps, desserts, and drinks. You can eat in, grab takeaway, use the drive-thru, or get delivery. There’s also the app, which is worth having if you like rewards and trying limited-time menu items.
Most people go to McDonald’s because it’s quick, familiar, and there when you need something easy. The app makes it that bit more convenient, especially if you like knowing what’s new or grabbing a deal. It’s the kind of place you pop into for breakfast, a snack, or a full meal depending on the day. Anyway, if you’re after a McDonald’s discount code or voucher, we’ve got the latest ones right here at Latest Deals.
I'm Emma, Community Manager at LatestDeals, and I've spent years helping shoppers stretch their budgets without the faff. One thing I always tell people at McDonald's is to use the app first, because MyMcDonald’s Rewards gives you points on spend and there are app-only deals and rewards tucked away in there too. I like savings that are dead simple and, well, actually worth doing. Outside work, I'm usually cooking, sorting family life, or hunting for a decent cup of tea while pretending the washing won't beat me.
