For 2500 points redemption, it seems today they changed it so you can only redeem a small McCafe beverage.
In the past it was any size including large, then it was small or medium, now just small. Of which the small is quite small indeed.
I think the small McCafe drink is still the best value redemption, which is up against a hamburger with no cheese, an apple pie or a small fountain drink.
Goodnight, sweet prince.
There's a huge quality difference with McDonalds in Aus vs anywhere else, whether UK/EU or ME/Asia. It's just not good enough here.
I have to say that any McDonald's I've tried anywhere, with the exception of Japan, has all been terrible.
I miss Japan, even the sandwiches at Starbucks were incredibly good.
Eh, I quite like it - 90% of the time McDonalds tastes great to me. But I'm also the kind of person who thinks Domino's/Pizza Hut style pizzas taste great as well.
But to each their own. If you stop eating takeout for a while you may find all takeout tastes bad.
It's overpriced disgusting slop.
Mcdonald's Indonesia has the best fried chicken.
So they've moved medium to 3500 points. Luckily I did redeem one yesterday for 2500.
Me too! Phew
Looks like I'll be drinking small coffee now…..
+1 for apple pie
Talking Shrinkflation -
Anyone looked at the size of small yogurt tubs at ColeWorth in recent months.. they are 1/2 the size now…. they were 'acceptable' before, not worth the effort now.
Back to normal programming.
so now as soon as you open them you are already scraping the dregs off the bottom of the tub!
Theres more stuck to the lid than in the tub….

The Petit Miam micro tubs of the 90s are back?
I guess the bright side is that the medium is 3500 points (which is a new tier) instead of 5000 points.
They could at least make the soft drinks small or medium. Seems like McDonald's have forgotten how they started, which was a simple menu, produced freshly and at good value prices.
If i were McDonald's, I'd look at cutting the menu down.
Agree. Had In and Out for the first time last month, and it was simple, fresh and delicious, and reasonably priced. Even the stores remind you of what the original McDonalds looks like when Michael Keaton goes there in The Founder.

I severely slowed my going to McDonald's when they took away large coffee redemptions. Looks like I won't go there at all now.
They'll really miss you.
They actually will. I reckon I single-handedly kept my local afloat.
Damn, that'll be the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I don't go often but I've been getting a mcmuffin + reward points coffee most mornings when going into the office. I'd even get the odd maccas meal here and there to top up my points. Enough of a push to motivate me to go full cheapskate mode and get back on the workplace provided instant coffee.
Once upon a time you use to be able to redeem large coffees for 2500 points as well.
Yikes! Looks like McMuffin removed from 5000 points. Unless I’m looking at the wrong time of day. But this is a deal breaker for me.
Nooooooo… :(
I can still see it there under 5000 points.
Oh yeah. It’s back! It was definitely missing for at least a couple of weeks. Probably when that egg shortage was on. Hooray! Thanks for finding this.
Darn it I should've redeemed a medium coffee for 2500 points earlier in the week!
I remember when you could claim a free small coffee, and turn it into a large frappe for free. Good times.
I only go to McDonald's because my local have the best coffee and the free medium coffee brought the total cost down. The coffee offers (via app) have dried up too.
On the plus side, I can now go anywhere else to buy a $6 coffee or $3 ice coffee or choke down a 711 brew.
I just wish they would convert points to dollars… but then I suppose people might actually use the points and you can't have that.
not going to lie i am shattered they dont allow you to get a medium, at very least you should be able to be the extra 50cents to get a medium
That is ridiculous that now it’s only small for 2500, and not too long after the upped the prices points needed for a large too. I wish they would now change to a credit system like Reds, GYG and Subbers.
That's a shame… The occasional kids treat used to score me an occasional large coffee. McD certainly wont miss my business but I'll take the kids elsewhere instead
This is a deal breaker for me. A big part of the reason I went to Maccas was to get points I could use to get coffees. The small coffees are just too small to bother with and tbh it's not very good coffee anyway. I won't go out of my way to go there anymore and probably just get the occasional special offer.
Deal-breaker for me. I used McDonald’s for kids’ Happy Meals and picked up a complimentary coffee every now and again. Not any more.
The coffee at 2500 points would get you a monolopu play card.
Now you need to order a medium at 3500.
Bye Maccas app, it was fun while it lasted
I'm sure they won't care but I've emailed them some McUnhappy feedback to [email protected]
I used Maccas when they had their coffee deals a fair bit. My local had reasonable coffee but since they stopped their deals and now I discover this, I’m done.
I’ve still got over 2500 points but I don’t know if I can be bothered getting enough to get a medium.
I really enjoyed getting two monopoly cards with a Large coffee.
Also have noticed the coffee deals via app have dried up well and truly.
Can't recall the last one I had it was that many months ago.
Latest deal coming in 1st Oct is $1 for a small coffee, but only bc its international coffee day: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/866869
Cmon uncle Ron Ron, give the coffee lovers what they want.
Use a burner email address for a $2 medium coffee + $1.50 Large Fries/Sunday Welcome offer
A very rare occasion Apple Pie is all I would ever buy from McDonalds. Rest is barely edible to me, nor good value at all. I really don't get how popular they are here especially for the prices.
