What’s new with MyMcDonald’s Rewards?
We’ve given MyMcDonald’s Rewards a bit of a refresh.
And as part of the latest update, we will be changing how long your points are valid for. From 30th December 2025, all points will expire 6 full calendar months after they’re earned, instead of the current 12 months.
This will apply to existing and future points, meaning any points earned before 30th June 2025 will automatically expire on 1st January 2026, unless you redeem them by then!
