APPENDIX TO GOLD CARD PRIZE DRAW 2024 RULES
By using the McDonald’s Gold Card, the card holder agrees to be bound by the following terms and conditions:
1. Each winner should follow the instructions stated in the prize award notification-email to claim and access the Gold Card by its commencement date to avoid risking loss of any offer.
2. A McDonald’s Gold Card is awarded exclusively in a digital format via the McDonald’s (UK) app and comprises a once-weekly offer, for 52 consecutive weeks, of 1 free main, side and drink (each in a medium or regular-size and excluding a sharebox), when ordered together as a single transaction via the app at a participating restaurant (“Meal Offer”).
3. Each Meal Offer is available for redemption in the corresponding week (being 00:01 on a Monday until 23:59 on the immediately following Sunday). The first Meal Offer period will start on the specific Monday notified to that winner by the Promoter.
4. Each Meal Offer is awarded to the ‘Rewards & Offers’ section of the winner’s McDonald’s (UK) app at the start of the corresponding week and can be applied to an order made via the app with a participating restaurant. A Meal Offer is not automatically added to an order.
5. Each weekly Meal Offer can only be redeemed once. If a Meal Offer is not used during its respective 7-day validity period, it shall automatically lapse and become void without any right to an alternative offer or compensation.
6. Meal size cannot be upgraded (whether from medium to large or in any other way), irrespective of the card holder’s willingness to pay the price-difference. A Gold Card does not apply to any customisations to items for which payment will be required. Menu items are subject to availability and serving times.
7. Delivery fees apply to delivery orders. If the ‘pickup’ option is chosen when ordering on the app, card holder is required to present the McDonald’s (UK) app account on the card holder’s phone at the restaurant to collect the order.
8. A Gold Card cannot be used on orders made via a third-party delivery service, app or website or in conjunction with any other voucher, offer or promotion.
9. A Gold Card is non-transferable. No cash or other alternative (in whole or in part) is available.
10. If McDonald’s reasonably suspects at any time that a Gold Card holder is acting fraudulently or dishonestly or in breach of the Gold Card terms, McDonald’s has the right to automatically freeze or remove the Gold Card from the applicable app-account, without notice and without liability.
11. McDonald’s Gold Card terms and conditions, and any dispute arising out of the terms, shall be exclusively governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
