Fast food lovers are well aware of the sheer joy of diving into a McDonald’s, especially when cravings hit hard for those signature McNuglets or a juicy burger – and now, one enthusiast has shared a hack to nab some serious discounts.
Britain’s very own Coupon King, Jordon Cox, known for his deal-hunting prowess and frequent television appearances dishing out saving tips, has tipped off his 55,000 Instagram followers with an “unlimited trick” for slashing costs at McDonald’s.
In an informative video on social media, Jordon revealed: “Never pay full price for a meal! Here’s how: at the top of every McDonald’s receipt, there’s a survey called ‘Food For Thoughts’.
“If you enter your code and fill out the survey (which can take 1-2 mins if you whizz through it), you get a voucher for a £2.99 meal sent through email.
“You can choose between a Big Mac, McChicken, Quarter Pounder, six Chicken Nuggets, Fillet-o-fish or McPlant with fries or side salad.”
He added: “And the great thing about this trick – you use your email voucher at the touch screen/at a till, place your order with cheap food… and you get another receipt.
“Then you can fill out that survey, and get another voucher for next time. Some meals can cost £6+, and if you don’t want a drink – this is a great way to save.”
A spokesperson for McDonald’s remarked: “Have your receipt handy and visit our Customer Satisfaction Survey page to take the survey.”
“At the end of the survey, you’ll receive a validation code to use on a future visit to McDonald’s,” reports the Mirror.
Thrifty individuals have confirmed that Jordon’s tip is indeed effective, with one commenter admitting: “I always do this, my friends can’t be a**** doing it so I always take their receipts and have loads stocked up, I have three currently.”
Another enthusiast shared: “I do this because I remember you on This Morning [talking] about this. And ever since that when I get McDonald’s I do the survey and get the £2.99 meal.”
The hack was hailed as “brilliant” by one thrilled diner. One savvy customer boasted: “Yesterday, I combined my McDonald’s rewards points with the stickers I’d collected off my fries box for an entirely free broccoli meal. I think we’re speaking the same language!”
“Been doing this for months now,” chimed in another happy saver.
