How to get the McDonald’s McPlant for less than £1 with app hack

If you’re looking for a cheap lunch, McDonald’s is always a quick and convenient option. But there’s a way you can get some of their menu items even cheaper today, including the popular McPlant.

This Monday (August 8), McDonald’s is dishing out two deals to banish the Monday blues - but you have to download the McDonald’s App to get them.

McDonald’s App users can enjoy the first deal of the day from 5am and tuck into the delicious Breakfast Roll for £1.99, saving £1.20 on the usual price. The roll features crispy back bacon, a sausage patty, melted cheese and a freshly cracked egg.

From 11am, customers can save £2.60 as McDonald’s is offering the McPlant for less than a pound.

The vegan burger launched nationwide earlier this year, and is made with a plant-based patty co-developed with Beyond Meat. It features vegan sandwich sauce, ketchup, mustard, onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and a vegan alternative to cheese in a sesame seed bun.

Fans will be able to get the burger for just 99p via the ‘offers’ section of the app, while earning extra bonuses through MyMcDonald’s Rewards. The loyalty scheme is McDonald’s first ever rewards programme where every penny spent equals one point, so this week’s offers will get you 199 points when ordering a Breakfast Roll or 99 points when picking up a McPlant.

When customers reach 1,500 points, they can choose between menu items including small Fries, a Hash Brown, or a Side Salad. With 2,500 points, a Double Cheeseburger or Vegetable Deluxe is on the cards. Finally, with 4,000 points, customers can choose between menu favourites like six Chicken McNuggets or a Big Mac.

There is also an option for customers to donate the cash equivalent of their points to BBC Children in Need, FareShare and Ronald McDonald House Charities to support the company’s commitment to funding and supporting youth work, alongside reducing food poverty and waste in the UK.

Both deals are exclusively available on the McDonald’s App and customers can start earning points on all orders by downloading via Google Play or the Apple App Store here , signing up and opting into MyMcDonald’s Rewards.
