          i used to be about QP or Big mac, but these days I will happily pay the little more for the Angus burger.

            @Jimothy Wongingtons:

            Angus burger

            Had a bbq bacon angus burger recently, still good but the angus burgers were so much better with the sourdough buns when they were first introduced, wish they'd bring them back.

        I agree with the Quarter Pounder verdict.

        I've always chosen that, over the Big Mac.

        I still have fond memories of the El Maco burger from the mid-1990s :-D

    OP, what do you redeem when you acquire maccas points?

    Ozbargain favourite is iced chocolate from mccafe menu for 2500 points.

    • Iwantthatbargain on 27/04/2023 - 16:26

      Do the points expire? I haven't redeemed them yet

      • Employeejdeals1 @ McDonald's on 27/04/2023 - 16:29
        +6

        I’ve just checked and points will expire after 12 months

        • whyisave on 28/04/2023 - 02:39

          Geez…now you tell me,..

          So, I hurriedly checked.

          It doesn't say if I had points expired in the past,
          but it does actually say, which tranche of points expires in the future.

          I got to start redeeming then.

          Thanks for confirming @jdeals1

          ( Hmmm…I wonder if I lost any in the past by not redeeming )

            @whyisave: Where are you seeing that? Can't see any expiry date on mine.

            • eyeballz2770 on 01/05/2023 - 14:21

              @bamzero: If you click on the Reward as if you're redeeming it, you'll find the expiry date under the price. All of mine are 31/12/2023 except for McCafe Beverage which is 31/12/2024.

              • bamzero on 01/05/2023 - 14:29
                +1

                @eyeballz2770: I think that's just a general expiry for the reward item, not the points. Mine has the same expiry dates listed as yours.

                  Do my points expire?

                  Nothing lasts forever, but you'll have plenty of time to save up for your rewards!

                  Your points will expire on the first day of the month, after 12 months from when points were first earned. For example, if you earn points on January 8th, 2022, those points will expire on February 1st, 2023. This gives you plenty of time to redeem your points.

                  We'll give you a heads up 10 days before your points expire.

                  Me, again, you can also find your history of purchases.

                  Click Rewards &… at the bottom of the app. View history is a clickable link under your points balance at the top of the page.

                  Also, in the FAQ which relates to knowing your purchase history:

                  Is there a limit to how many points I can earn ?

                  You, you will reach an earning cap after 20 transactions or 30,000 points, which ever occurs first; (which includes both earning transactions and redemption transactions) in a rolling 24-hor period.

      • Notacommie on 01/05/2023 - 10:55

        Yes

    • Employeejdeals1 @ McDonald's on 27/04/2023 - 16:26

      Any McCafe drinks are usually the best value for money, but personally I’d usually get a snack wrap or another larger meal item when using my points on shift.

      • watwatwat on 27/04/2023 - 17:14

        Second question, how often is your store's ice cream machine broken?

      The maximum points that you can accumulate is 30,000.

      • Agret on 15/05/2023 - 10:29
        +1

        30,000 per 24hr period. You can definitely hold more than 30,000 in the account. The week after pts were introduced I saw some people on Facebook asking questions about the app and they had over 100,000 pts.

    • sparkles on 01/05/2023 - 13:21

      The kitchen should always be open as product is usually kept during this time. However some specific stores do shut on a low trading night (eg Monday) between midnight and early morning to work through maintenance tasks

              You need to know what to press etc but it's nothing like an actual kitchen.

    I used to get 25% off a lot more often and now it's rare as well as dropped to 20% off.
    Hopefully 40% off is available on the app this year, it would be good.
    Also would be better if the order can be used more than once rather than one time use only.

      40% off is very unlikely, staff only get a 20% discount. As for the regular app offers, it ranges anywhere from 10% to 25% off.

        I haven't got those app offers in ages of 10% off up to 25% off.

        Do you no longer get 50% off when working?

    I've just discovered the request of steaming buns. How have I never known about this sorcery before. Lifechanging!

    Edit: Steaming BUNS not to be confused with Steamed Hams
