I just bought McDonald’s Large Fries and paid just 5c. All thanks to a new deal in the Maccas app using Apple Pay.
Now I was skeptical about this when Matt posted this in the EFTM Man Cave, so – I had to check it out for myself. Turns out, the only catch is it’s 100% exclusive to Apple Pay users.
That bag cost me 5c, as did the contents. Seriously.
Here’s the notification MyMaccas app users are getting on their iPhone:
So, let’s check it out. Yep, still there in the app too:
Add to mobile order? Hell yeah!
There’s my new order – ready to add it in:
When I viewed my total order, no strings attached.
Just gotta click Finish and pay with my FaceID (or TouchID)
Done, now off to Maccas – on arrival – drive through it is:
That’s gotta be the strangest order ever right?
Once you pickup your order – the Apple Pay payment goes through:
Here’s exactly how it’s represented in my Bank app:
DONE!
Back at the office – look what’s in the bag.
If we’re honest, I got a bit ripped off on the “large” – but, fairs fair, it cost me 5c:)
Felt bad at the drive through, so I did a tap and go donation (using Apple Pay!) to the Ronald McDonald House.
Sadly, it’s a one time coupon per MyMaccas app user.
Android users, your “deal” is $1 large fries. Seems Google aren’t as good at the deal making as Apple are:)
