How To Get Free Food & Money From McDonald’s All Month

10 Jan 2024, by Lydia Kah-Pavlou, min. read

These prizes will help get you through January.

January isn’t a fun month, it’s cold, dark, and it’s exam and deadline season. Luckily, McDonald’s wants to brighten up the month and is giving away loads of cool prizes from money to free food all month long, so if you needed an excuse to get a McDonald’s for dinner, we’ve given you one.

Dubbed Fry-anuary, you can get your hands on some of these prizes and rewards by downloading the McDonald’s rewards app and making sure you’re signed up. All you have to do is purchase large or medium fries four times during January and some of the big prizes could be yours.

As well as these prizes you can also win free food when you participate, as buying fries will help you to redeem points on the McDonald’s rewards app. When you purchase the four portions of fries needed to enter the competition, this will earn you 4,000 points which is the equivalent to a Big Mac or 6 Chicken McNuggets.

You’ll also start earning points straight away before you complete your required four purchases. Once you’ve earned 1,500 points you can redeem small fries, hash browns, or a small drink and once you hit 2,500 you can get a Double Cheeseburger or an apple pie. If you manage to redeem 5,500 points you’ll get a free Mighty McMuffin, a McSpicy, a McCrispy, or a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

All you have to do to participate is download the McDonald’s rewards app and purchase fries four times this month, as part of a meal or individually and you can start winning some big prizes either in the form of money or free food.
