Win free food with the McDonalds Ireland App

    Download McDonald'sIE and click Win Festive Prizes! in the menu. No log-in needed.
    Android here and iOS here.
    Reveal your prize and redeem when you get to the counter.
    They probably won't ask you to "press redeem" so when you win a prize you like, you can get another one next time.
    This is a lot less screwy than their last couple of app promos.
    I won a medium Coke. Maybe I'll be able to reinstall to see if I can get something better.

    T&C
    -oh, no, wait, nevermind. The app just froze so I can't give you the T&C. It's still not as screwy as the previous apps though.
    It did say you have to wait 24 hours between each prize though or the staff might turn you away.

    The prizes (yes I ranked them):
    1. Festive Menu: Chicken Celebration
    2. Festive Menu: Beef Deluxe
    3. McFlurry
    4. Coffee
    5. Medium Coke
    6. Festive Menu: Piece of crap

    First attempt, won medium coke.

    Second attempt, won festive beef deluxe :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,833 ✭✭✭phill106


    Free smoothie/frappee deal was better :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,122 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    Festive Beef Deluxe yesterday and Chicken Celebration this evening, will grab a medium coke from O Connels Street for the cinema tonight aswell :D

    (I know its a false economy to eat this much trash but its free dammit)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,167 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Uninstalled and reinstalled a few times. Best I could get was a Coke or Festive Pie. Gave up and will try each day till I get a Festive Beef Burger Thing.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,162 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Got my free chicken celebration today and it was tasty. I just realised that we have about 20 android tablets sitting here in work. I'd be tempted to hear down with them all and leave with a box full of free burgers. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,281 ✭✭✭Boscoirl


    was wondering why my app was in French, I downloaded the belgium one :D

    As said above, you don't have to uninstall/reinstall! Just go to apps under settings, go to the McDonalds app and click clear data (android way)

    this does the trick and is much handier!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 67 ✭✭sallybongers


    Cheers OP. Just own a chicken celebration... Do I have to claim it this evening? Or can I wait til tomorrow?

    Also I have an iPad too, is there any way of clearing the data on it so I can try multiple times??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,408 ✭✭✭whomitconcerns

    Getting Peed off now,
    5 pies, 13 cokes, 2 McFlury's and 2 coffees but still no deluxe burger...
    I'm not giving up now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,124 ✭✭✭Unknown Soldier


    No need to reinstall. Just clear data in applications.

    How would a stupid person, like me, do such a thing? iPhone btw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,275 ✭✭✭donnacha


    After about 30 attempts - nearly all Coke and the off Coffee I gave up and went with the Festive Pie - I seriously couldn't eat the thing it was that vile. Might spend some time this evening doing data clears in the hope I end up with a burger of some kind for tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,319 ✭✭✭Absoluvely


    How would a stupid person, like me, do such a thing?

    For Android 4.2.2, you go Settings>Apps>McDonald'sIE>Clear data.

    Probably something similar on all other operating systems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 364 ✭✭shivers27


    Any one know how long this offer is on for ?

    Reads like a Nigella menu!

    i hit the chicken celebration on my 2nd try and immediately after the beef deluxe...am i lucky?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,647 ✭✭✭brian ireland


    Went into Mickey d's and today and told the girl I had a voucher on my phone for a Beef Deluxe. She never look at it and gave me the burger. Never swiped the revel voucher so I still have a free deluxe voucher on my phone. I think two in one week might not be good for me. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,823 ✭✭✭neacy69


    Got a free coffee today... Cheers op.

    Not pushed on the food but a big fan of the coffee..

    He never checked the phone so I might screen shot the voucher and chance another one

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭PinkFly


    Had loads of cola wins...so eventually when the mince pie thing came up i went with it...its absolutely rank and as other poster said he never even looked at my phone for voucher code.

    If you're on Android, press the menu button on the top left, then go to Win Unhealthy Festive Prizes!

    It's probably the same on iOS.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166 ✭✭hsan


    Just had to update the app. Cheers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,190 ✭✭✭Dublinstiofán


    I had a nice festive burger lined up today. Went into Mc Donald's.

    App crashed taking my burger with it. Walked straight back out pissed off!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 367 ✭✭Chewabacca


    Forgot I had a chicken burger waiting for me , took about 30 attempts to get.

    Read through this thread and decided to do the clear data trick.

    Medium coke.

    I've never used an app to get a free pint/burger etc before (for fear of looking like a cheapskate!)but am fairly broke and will be using this for lunch tomorrow.Do I just show the person at the counter my phone and then they scan it or what?
