McDonald’s UK to Devalue MyMcDonald’s Rewards on March 17

McDonald’s cites rising food and supply costs for the overhaul tied to a menu refresh.

Overview

  • From 17 March, redemption tiers rise to 2,000, 3,500, 5,000 and 6,500 points, up from 1,500, 2,500, 4,000 and 5,500.
  • MoneySavingExpert and Save the Students urge users to redeem points before the change to avoid reduced value.
  • With earning fixed at one point per penny, customers will need roughly £5–£10 more spend to unlock the same rewards.
  • Charity conversions are updating, with 2,000 points set to donate £2 rather than £1.50 under the current tier-one rate.
  • The shift coincides with a menu refresh featuring items such as the Double Big Mac with Bacon, Spicy McNuggets and seasonal McFlurries, affecting a programme used by millions via the app.
