What is MyMcDonald’s Rewards?
It’s the company’s loyalty program designed to reward frequent customers. For every dollar you spend, you earn 100 points that can be redeemed for free food, such as a McChicken, fries, or even a Big Mac. It’s important to note that points expire six months after the date they were earned.
Redeeming your rewards is very simple. If you place your order through the app, just go to the Rewards section, choose the item you want, and tap Add to Mobile Order. If you prefer to make your purchase at the restaurant or at the Drive-Thru, select your reward the same way, but this time choose Use at Restaurant to generate a 4-digit code. Give that code to the cashier before paying, and that’s it.

History of McDonald’s
In 1954, Ray Kroc had the opportunity to visit a small restaurant in San Bernardino, California, owned by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald. Although the place was simple, Kroc was amazed by the remarkable efficiency with which it operated. The McDonald brothers had designed a streamlined menu that only included burgers, fries, and drinks, which allowed them to maintain high standards of quality and offer fast service.
When Kroc learned that the brothers were looking for a new franchisee, he saw a great business opportunity. In 1955, he founded McDonald’s System, Inc., which would later become McDonald’s Corporation. Six years later, he acquired the exclusive rights to the McDonald’s name and operating system.
In 1958, the chain celebrated a major milestone: the sale of 100 million hamburgers. Today, McDonald’s is one of the most recognized fast food brands globally, with over 36,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries around the world.
