[Hack] $9.65 Small Big Mac Meal+ "Double Fillet-O-Fish" Hacked @ McDonald's via Mymacca's App + Counter

To my dear fellow fillet o fish lover ozBgn'ers.

This hack requires both app and at counter (I can’t seem to add steamed bun to cheeseburger order and there doesn’t seem to be an option for fillet o fish portions)

STEP 1 VIA APP
Order the $5.95 Big Mac Meal with Cheeseburger in the McClassics section of app.
Customize Cheeseburger: No Ketchep, No Regular Onions, No Regular Beef Patty, No Pickles, No Salt & Pepper. [Just Bu and a full slice of cheese]
PLACE ORDER. (Click through to payment section and make payment. You will then follow steps to check in and confirm you have arrived in store. Then you will receive an Order number ie: 148; to confirm your order has gone into the stores system)
https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/76531/68015/img-201903…

STEP 2 AT COUNTER
Point to your 148 order on screen and say; “that weird cheeseburger there, it is only bun and cheese, please ask the cooks at back to steam the bun like they do for fillet o fishes”
Then order:
1 x Tartare Sauce
2 x Fillet o Fish Portions
Pay and they will give you another order number.
Then say to the checkout staff; “please bag the 2 orders up together”
https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/76531/68013/img-201903…

Big Mac Meal with Cheeseburger $5.95 ORDER VIA APP (AT COUNTER; POINT AND ASK FOR STEAMED BUN TO THE CHEESBURGER)
1 Tartare Sauce $0.50 ORDER AT COUNTER/ OR ADD TO APP
2 Fillet Fish Portions $3.20 ORDER AT COUNTER
TOTAL $9.65

https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/76531/68012/img-201903…

I put the 2x fish portions inside the emtpy steamed cheeseburger; then dip the thing into the tub of tartare sauce.

[a normal fillet of fish is made of half a slice of cheese only; a double fillet of fish is 2x halfs slices of cheese, i think the ingredients are identical]

Full price Double Fillet of Fish burger only is $6.75. Big Mac $5.90. Small coke $2.60. Small Fries $2.20
This equates to $17.45 vs $9.65 [45% off]

OR
small mac meal @$9.70 + double fillet of fish burger only at $6.75
This equates to $16.45 vs $9.65 [41% off]

[please don't hate this post too much. I love a food ol fresh fillet o fish; and hate paying over $10 for McD's at the same time]

    They don't have to do this.

    Then order:
    1 x Tartare Sauce
    2 x Fillet o Fish Portions

    And you can just get these and retain a whole cheeseburger since Step 2 isn't a deal, it's claiming a different item from one that was purchased.

    Good on your for the effort. It was an entertaining read but not really a deal.

                @Skinnerr: I'm just trying to help people, eating cheeseburgers at McDonald's is bad, everyone knows it but cognitive dissonance/compartmentalisation and deficit in thought promoted by advertising enables incorrect eating choices, not only themselves but they will even give their children this food. People need to wake up to the mass stupidity of eating fast food, it causes diabetes, food poisoning, artery and heart disease, dementia, shortens lifespan, ages the skin, poor eyesight, depression, overweight and obesity and many other diseases. Get the idea of McDonald's as a happy place with happy meals and everyone having fun and children are happy completely out of your head, advertising has brainwashed people into believing this, the average person will see over 100 positive pieces of advertising for fast food every day.

                Put your hands to your head and concentrate very hard to break the mental conditioning.

                Your deal is $9.65 and you lose a cheeseburger. So the savings is $4.10 minus a cheeseburger, which is around $3. So you're really saving around $1.

    you do know that maccas are fast food and you are delaying the queue when people like us want it fast and it becomes slow because of your hack.

    The staff are not not well paid and have to bear with your hack.

            @chinezejew: Na, i dont work at those. The good thing is i dont make it difficult for other being you. Sorry you.

            What an achievement making lives difficult and being proud of it.
            Some of them dont have a choice, you might not know any people that worked at maccas living in your lonely palace.

              @zzzsianzzz: Geez the attacks.

              Dude. I have maccas once every 2months at best. If I've hurt you I apologize.

              Chill. Saturday night.

              I'll have another drink with the money I saved with last nights snack.

              I'll sleep fine about it mate.

              I hardly live in a palace. Room sharing sucks mate.

              You must have more money than me

                @chinezejew: just to make your system understand better, some people have allergies and have to remove things from the standard.

                if you have an allergy, try having tons of it and see what happens. some remove meat for diets.

                if they remove those from their system they will close or your hacks cause the maccas to close. your neighbourhood will definitely love u. try telling them that.

                its not a bargain.

                dont have to be an arse to the society to get bargains is my bottom line.

                  @zzzsianzzz: If I could be arsed I would do this.
                  I wouldn't do it to my local fish and chip shop though.

                  @zzzsianzzz: So what you're saying is, McD has no way to tell if he's ordering it that way to avoid the allergies of someone who may waiting in the carpark for their dinner. ;-D

                      @zzzsianzzz: Really, I see these posts as the goose at the group BBQ who's had too much to drink. (Humour factor more than practical factor.) I tried one of these types of things once and felt my IQ dropped by doing it. ;-p

    Why remove the stuff from the cheeseburger?

    Cheeseburger with fish fillets sounds pretty good.
