Only just spotted in the app, expires today. Don't know if it is targeted. A single small quarter pounder meal is normally $12.20.

Try install hungry jack app ;)
One of my accounts got $4 for cheeseburger meal + extra cheeseburger instead, also expires today. So it is targeted.
Targeted. I have different offers.
mine is $15 for 2 small quarter pounder meals… feel ripped off.
Mine is $11.99. Is this some kinda joke?
Same one of my accounts is also $11.99
I have 2 cheeseburger meals for $9……….
Mines a $5.99 filet o fish meal… Small… :(
I got a rather strange one.
$4.50 for a cheeseburger, small fries and any size McCafe coffee.
Mine is the same except $4.99 :(
$8 For small Quarter Pounder meal.
( 1 meal only, that is)
Huh, I got 2 small Big Mac meals for $8. I honestly prefer Quarter Pounder's over Big Mac's but hey, better than nothing.
$3.50 for a McChicken small meal.
No longer see this nor any offers expiring today. Only see offers expiring in two days.
Sneaky cheap move by McDonald. They replaced two of the deals I had with much worse ones today
$7.5 for one small Quarter Pounder meal
$1.5 any size coffee
Seems like a few people here commenting what their biweekly deal is. If it's one of the deals like the OP, it'll say expires "today" not "in 2 days".
Nah I've got most of these above expiring today, except the more expensive 2x meals.
Perhaps the funniest one I've got is a small cheeseburger meal + chicken and cheese for $8.99. Yep, it's $2.04 more than the McSmart meal yet the same.
Honourable mention to $3.99 McFlurry with 2 hashbrowns.
Including these? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15550359/redir https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15550379/redir
Those are part of the standard biweekly deals (have got them many times on my accounts). Anyway removed my +ve as they've removed deals early as mentioned below.
Yeah lots removed early. Glad I didn't rely on this for lunch otherwise I would've been pissed.
But for the record I did say about the more expensive 2x QP meals being standard deals
I got $1 cheeseburger
That should be normal price considering what you get.
I'll swap you for a $6 small cheeseburger meal 🤣
Talk about taking the piss!
Meanwhile I got the exact same McSmart meal except the pleasure of paying 55c more for it -_-
Oh sorry it's slightly different, I can't swap the Chicken N Cheese for a Cheeseburger.
Yeah, I only got the $7.99 Small QP meal, and feel like I've been duped. I guess no fatty lunch for me today.
$4.99 cheeseburger, small fries & any size mcCake coffee.
Mines just a single quarter pounder for $3
I got $3.99 for a large fries + large sundae, not bad
Got this same one but for $2.99
I really don’t like this future of “different pricing per user”, esp because it’s probably all carefully data based on how often and when you order to get you to bite on the deal.
This feels more experimental than anything else. If it is carefully data based then it looks like we don't need to worry about Skynet just yet.
There are some truly bad offers here, including ones that are worse than existing deals, so it would be very interesting to know the strike rate.
Would be interesting to know those who got the bad offers when there last order was and of how much, how often they open the app etc. Obvs for us it would be hard to determine how its targeted but I have a feeling they just wouldn't fly out a bunch of deals randomly with the data they have.
@Plutolio: Was intrigued about this too. Got everything from $3.50 small McChicken meal to a $8.99 McSmart meal.
A lot of these accounts have similar "usage" rates in terms of how often the app gets opened and I only ever buy app deals, no full price.
Only thing that struck me as possibly significant were the points in each account. Those with
- 0 points got no deal
- <1k points seemed to get bad deals
- <2k got weirder combos (McFlurry+hash etc).
- 3-4k was good value ($3.50 small McChicken, $4 small chbgr + extra, $1.99 coffee + 2 hash etc).
- 4k pts+ (incl redeemed pts) seemed more data driven but less value or quite specific discounts (eg $2.30 medium coffee).
Food for thought seeing as Macca's has denied other food xD
And yes I have way too many accounts 🤣
@Plutolio: I wouldn't describe it as random, there presumably is some form of non-arbitrary basis for these offers.
But whatever that may be, I wouldn't assume by default that it's particularly smart just because it may draw from customer activity data.
What can be done with data, and what is actually done with data, are often two very different things.
i got a weird one
$3.50 mcflurry and 2 hash browns
Now THAT is a complete meal!
Breakfast of Olympic champions.
yeah i had that a few days ago
I just contacted them to ask why I don't get the mad deals and if it's because I am of Asian descent.
They targetted you with the McSad meal
I had loads of good deals on my accounts around 830am today which were not there last night, by the time I drove all the way to maccas after 1030, more than half of them had vanished, it's literally the definition of bait and switch. They all said 'expires today' yet most of them expired before they were even available at 1030am :(
I had amongst others :
$2.50 2x medium coffees
$2.99 medium coffee and hash brown
$7.50 small mcspicy meal
$6 for 2x big macs
$1.50 medium coffee
11.99 for 2x quarter pounder meals
$1.99 small coffee and 2x hash browns
$1.00 small coffee
$3 double cheeseburger
$3 for 6x nuggets
$8 small quarter pounder meal
$5 small cheeseburger plus cheeseburgerby 1030 more than half of these had vanished
Couldn't believe the deals when i woke up this morning, only for most of them to disappear :(
Not sure if I’m an idiot or if they changed the deal but just got to maccas and noticed my deal is 1 small qp meal for $8…
That's the standard deal that I've been getting of late… seems others have 2 x Quarter Pounder (or Big Mac) meals for the same price!
I will be punished for my ignorance with a half empty stomach
they uploaded a bunch of decent deals sometime overnight and half of them were deleted before 1030am
Maybe a system glitch?
$8 2 x Small Quarter Pounder Meals, $4 for cheeseburger meal + extra cheeseburger, etc seem like super special sign up deals… rather than the normal bi-weekly deals.
I ate two QP's a few weeks ago. One is fine. Two is too much.
I think McDs HQ pulled the pin on some of these great deals once they read the news about Carl's Jr going bust.
carls going bust ? there go the summer deals when weather is hot with bottomless refills. that only leaves costco for bottomless refills of drinks.
Implausible. There are/were approximately 50 Carls Jr outlets across just a few states, they wouldn't even be a blip on McD's radar.
I have to say this. after quitting eating Mcd during covid I tried it again (I actually thought it tasted ok back then). Mccd is a total scam.
first the chips tasted like not made of potato and not golden crispy anymore. 2nd the nuggets were way off, did they change them recently to plant based? I prefer the older fake chicken which was kinda springy/spongy and consistent. now it's like super soft and breaks apart to imitate meat and tasted even more filled with preservatives (if thats possible) it's horrible.
the only thing that tasted half decent was the beef patty burger, which was much smaller than expected.but overall I reckon for the higher price you pay now like 80% of what you get isn't real food (probably 60% fake food before). honestly that's what it felt like they scammed you. 80% fake ingredients some kind of powder filling you can buy ultra cheap is added to everything to increase size. they try to hide poor flavour with sugar and sauce. like you know those kids toys where you add water to powder and make a burger? it's like a warmed up version of that.
I thought after not having it for awhile I would be hooked again but no it tasted like fake food for normal food prices. đź‘żđź‘żđź‘ż
I got 1 X small quarter pounder meal for $8…..
Seems like half a deal, maybe.
…………. Carls Jr is closing most stores, so would support them….
Not in my app :( Probably cause I just reinstalled the app.
