Hot Apple pie?
Marketing miss there. Did no one at marketing think of offering Apple pie for 5c.. I know chips are cheaper but, branding!
Prefer Cream pie. Apple pie too sweet.
iPhone 12 Max Pro selling for $1699 or 33,980 large fries!
This deal is discriminating against andriod users.
haha
Are we all purposely spelling Android different each time here?
As for the chips, at 5c there is probably still a small profit being made.
Gross profit maybe. Definitely not net

Ask Google…
Class action with 1 year free fries compensation for Android users?
What are you, American?
They are French fries…
Android is $1 Large fries, still not bad
As a true OzBargainer, I must correct you that $1 is 20 TIMES more than $0.05 :)
might android users have saved enough for one year chips against Apple fans
it's because Apple is subsidising it to promote Apple Pay. I doubt they will do the same for Android, haha
Android users aren't a protected group, just like people who run on the road or train surf.
Exactly! Though some might be tempted to buy an Apple phone just to take advantage of this offer
Hoping for 1c large chips for Android users.
Andriod
"$1 Large Fries: Android Exclusive" shows up as a deal in addition to the 5c deal for me, even though I'm on iOS
Still too expensive for Android users. They'll just hack the HJ app until they spin free fries.
what is this hack you speak about? Is it different to using different emails each 2 spins?
Bring back Hjs always a winner app!!
This is OSist !
Well you get other perks like "freedom" and… well whatever it is Android users keep gloating about.
Relax.
Buy an iPhone, buy the fries and take phone back to Apple for full refund.
Easy
how do i activate this??
You walk upto the counter like a boss and demand it. No need to activate.
I laughed so hard when I saw the “$1 Large Fries: Android Exclusive” right under this deal in the app, it’s so ridiculous haha.
Looks like I’d be able to get both though, which is really odd but I’m not complaining.
Oh, $1 is gone after updating the app today.
Possibly targeted. Have used Apple pay for meccas before and this offer is not showing in my account.
i got this earlier, the girl in drive-thru was very surprised.
you don't need to even pay on the phone, she scanned my phone code and i paid on the EFTPOS terminal thingy
Did she give you a slip of paper aftereards
Were you then stopped by the traffic police for using you phone while driving? Outrageous behaviour!
Maccas is the best when you order via the app, drive there to pickup and tell them the drive-thru code and they say they don't have the code and its like you made it up…
Then they ask have you paid for it…when u only get an emailed receipt after they've put the order through at the register
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Then they give up and make you pay manually and you get double what u ordered 😂
And then you find out that the app actually send your order to some other neighbouring Maccas!!
I was feeling adventurous and took up the McDonald's special app deal yesterday, bought a McFlurry for $1.50 - it's just a blob of soft serve icecream with M & M's sprinkled on top - who pays regular price???
What happened to 30c cones? Bring those back McDonald's.What happened to 30c cones?
They went from 30c to 50c in 2014 and now they're 80c :(
70c *
My app says 80c (West Ryde NSW store) 🤔
@ak47wong: Some Macca's stores are still selling them for 70c, but from what I've seen most have them at 80c.
"$0.05 Large Fries When Paying with Apple Pay @ McDonald's via mymacca's App"
For real?
Well I got both the 5c apply pay and $1 android exclusive together
For the entire month of November, the Maccas app did not work for me for ordering the November deals. Tried to uninstall and reinstall multiple times but no luck. Anyone else faced this issue?
Yeah my app is broken for online ordering but I can still give them the code instore or drive thru, just annoying tho, crap app
Same on mine and my girlfriend's phones. Coupons only
Nope, worked for me. Got my 2 burger meal yesterday for $5. Sweet as.
Yeah, the Android app doesn't work anymore.
Clear the apps cache and storage, wasn't working for me but now is
They must have fixed it finally. I didn't clear my cache (have tried it several times before and uninstalling), just put in an order and cancelled it.
I find that i have to logout login for every order
Naah i even reinstalled the app but still no dice during November. Will try it today to see if the issue is fixed.
I am using Sony based on Android 8 , also encounter the same issue.
Reinstall and clearing storage and cache doesnt helpSame for me. There was an error code but I can't remember.
Thanks
They missed the mark with this offer. Should have offered Apple Pie with Apple Pay.
Should have offered Apple Pie
They actually wanted people to take up the promotion though lol
Apple pies are rarely used for promotion because out of everything on the menu they take the longest to cook. They don't want 5 cars in a row in drive thru waiting 8 minutes for an apple pie.
I have observed that many times Apple Pie (and hashies) show unavailable for online ordering via app but when you go to counter they are able to place order! And most of the time it's already cooked and available right away (which means they would be keeping few ready).
yeah i used to work at maccas, and we'd keep a few ready, but if they weren't, they take 6(?) minutes to fry, which is ages in terms of fast food
probably the cost price
cost them 5cents?if so they normally sell for $1+ or whateva what a markup baahahaha
The overall cost is probably more than 5c, but yes, big fastfoods are known for a huge markup and people should be reminded about that.
So let's all realise it may cost them 10c and they sell it for $3+, because you crave grease and salt and you understandably can't be bothered cooking it the same way at home.
Well a quick Google suggests in 2018 they mad $260million profit on $1.7billion in revenue.
The overall cost is substantially more than 5c.
The overall cost is substantially more than 5c.
That's not the implication.
What you quickly googled means they invested a lot to make more money, deduct what's spent and pay less tax.
@pizzaguy: Well what I also quickly googled also revealed investments of $190million and a $132 million tax bill in 2019, that appears on par for the business they do in Australia.
But at the end of the day, I am just doing a quick Google search and yeah, I don't really know or understand the finer details. Though I'm gonna go out on a limb and stick with a pretty safe assumption, the overall cost is still substantially higher than 5c.
Now remember kids if you save a credit card to your Macca's app, it is stored centrally and not just on the device registered. I forgot to update my password and the account was compromised with an $80+ pickup over 2 visits. Only found out when the email receipts arrived.
Not sure how Apple Pay is done, but it may be the same. Best way to check is to download on a second device, logon and see what payment options are available.
Pretty sure ApplePay uses the security enclave chip on the iPhone.
Apple pay won't, but yeah the regular credit does. i learned that the hard way as well :/. luckily chargebacks exist, but still
Oh boy, that'll make me switch from Android.
haha!
Finally apple users can say,, "Android Can't do this" 😂
Has anyone actually tried to redeem this? I tried and couldn't get past the payment screen.
Says this is an apple pay exclusive deal only but doesn't allow me to select apple pay to pay for this deal with.
McFAIL!
Yeah just got the same now
Edit: To fix: remove the offer, go to checkout with something else, add a credit card and back out. Then add the offer again and it’ll work.
Thank you so much for this!! I was at maccas car park desperately looking for a way to fix this issue. Cheers!!!
Originally, I had my ING card in the app. I removed that and added it via Apple Pay. I tried the above, but that didn't work. I thought add the card again and then it let me choose Apple Pay as payment without that review crap. For whatever reason, Apple Pay doesn't work if its the only payment method for this offer, but it does for other menu items.
Most Apple users wouldn't get out of bed for some fries .
I guess Android a different story lolTried to use it today and was eventually told that it no longer works as the 500,000 threshold has been reached. Ended up paying full price even though it is still displayed in the app for some reason. I was quite pissed to say the least.
Would you mind reporting this as expired? I can't as I reported the title/description before.
Done.
This comment is for you jacko are you the OP?
Had no idea this was limited to the first 500k, looks like it hit that on day 1.
I bought yesterday
Don't know why this is marked out of stock lol.
But the Maccas app is so broken, I got the offer on an Android phone and was able to redeem it because they gave a code to scan too?Same with the in app only Android one, code to scan.
available again :)
got this today, funny thing was that I didn't even have to use apple pay. just scan code and pay 5c.
I'm not getting it on my iPhone, although I did when it first appeared. Any possibility that it's only showing for those who did not previously redeem?
Expiry in 1 week for me. Looks like it has been extended ?

Pretty sure the price of the chips is factor into the inflated pricing of Apple product.
