[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]

    Thumbs up for your suggestion. If it works for you and other people it’s great and worth posting. Not every suggestion suits everyone and if it does not suit you then look for the next post.

    Whatever makes you happy you should do, so long as you are not hurting anyone else.

        What many people fail to realise is that in the end no one will post any more bargains or hacks if people keep attacking them. People will then become scared because of the abuse they could receive. I would say generally no one wants to post something to receive abuse. Then it will be a loss for everyone who is a member of ozbargain.

        I think I have maybe posted one negative in the whole time I have been here. However I have come to realize that someone has taken the time out of their day to share something that could be of benefit to others. If it doesn’t benefit you then that is not a valid reason for negging someone. If you think it’s a hassle or too much for you that’s not a reason for negging someone. What may seem trashy or stupid to you may help someone greatly or even make their day.

        Without so many people sharing then ozbargain would cease to exist or be diminished in its capacity to help people.

    If anything, doing this too often will eventually alert the real Macca's police, the accountants/pricing staff. Like most of these hacks, these will eventually be edited out. Like pretty much everywhere else, taking out ingredients should only affect that burger. So you can get a cheaper burger, but not credit towards other stuff.

      Stealing is bad. Mkay.

      I push 10x trollies and get this for dinner.
      (Lucky if I find a $2 trolley)

    Let me sum up with tldr:

    Cheese burger bun only: 40c via app
    2 fish parties: $3.20
    Tartare sauce: 50c

    Put them together yourself.

      I wonder if OP realises he could save 50c by going to all the fish n chip shops on the way to maccas and asking for tartare sauce ???
