MyM Points
If you scan your MyM QR code (which you can find at the top of your MyM tab) with every order, you’ll save points. Even when you redeem a MyM Deal or MyM Reward. So, don't forget to scan your QR code at the Kiosk, the cash register, or the McDrive.
For every euro you spend, you’ll receive 5 MyM Points.
Check the app to see which free rewards or surprises are waiting for you, and how many points you need. Activate the free product and scan the QR code at the Kiosk, or at the cash register in the restaurant or McDrive.
Your points are valid for 12 months.
It’s not possible to share points. Would you like to receive points for your own order? Then place it separately via the Kiosk or at the cash register in the restaurant. It’s not possible to place separate orders via the McDrive if you’re all in the same car.
iOS: open the app and click “MyM” in the bottom menu bar.
Android: open the app, click the menu bar on the left, then click “MyM”. Click on the i-icon next to the QR code to expand an overview of your saved points and history.

In the app, each Reward shows how many points you need to redeem it.
Within 30 minutes, your points are automatically added to your account. If this is not the case, please contact us via Facebook Messenger, Instagram or send an email to mcinfo@be.mcd.com. Make sure to have your receipt and restaurant information ready.

Issues?
No, you can only get MyM Deals, or save and redeem points for MyM Rewards if you have an account in the McDonald's app.
For security reasons, you can’t use our app on a rooted device.
Do you get an error message saying that your Android device is rooted? Then you can click “Play Protect” in Google Play. This way you can search for malicious apps that prevent you from using our McDonald's app.
It’s best to contact us via Facebook Messenger, Instagram or mcinfo@be.mcd.com. We’ll investigate why your McDonald's app isn’t working.
If you fail to register, please uninstall the app. Restart your phone and try downloading the app again. Test whether the app works via your mobile network (3G, 4G, 5G) and Wi-Fi.
The speed at which you’ll receive the email, depends on your email provider. Wait 30 minutes before requesting a new code. Also, check your spam folder or junk email. Does this problem continue to occur? Then report this to your own email provider and contact us via Facebook Messenger, Instagram or mcinfo@be.mcd.com.
Change your email address by opening your app and going to the section "More" - "My account" - "Change data". There you can enter your new e-mail address. Please note that your new email address will need to be re-verified with two-step verification.
You can sign in on multiple devices, but your points are only saved on the device you first signed up with.
Have you deleted the McDonald's app, or did you change mobile phone? That’s fine because it’s possible to recover your points from your old account. Just download our app again and sign up with the same email address you used for the previous app.
To prevent fraud, scanning your QR code during ordering is limited to a number of times per hour and per day. For the same reason, you can't scan your app in different restaurants within a short time interval.
These precautions shouldn’t prevent you from using our app in a normal way. If that would be the case, please send an email to mcinfo@be.mcd.com.
McDonald's app privacy and security
Only after you’ve given your permission, McDonald's will collect - among other things - data provided by you when creating a MyMcDonald's account. Such as your name, email address, zip code, (optional) birthday and preferences. In addition, McDonald's will process information about transactions to offer personalized MyM Deals and MyM Rewards and to add points to your balance. For more information, please check the Privacy Statement in the app.
McDonald's uses the information you provide in a variety of ways. McDonald's uses the personal data - among other things - to:
- be able to provide you with certain services (such as personal MyM Deals);
- inform you about the products, services, promotional offers or special events in which we think you are interested (for example via the app);
- personalize your experiences in McDonald's restaurants.
Your personal data may be used for what is called "profiling". In general terms, profiling involves collecting information about an individual (or group of individuals) and evaluating their characteristics or patterns of behavior in order to place that individual (or individuals) in a particular category or group, among other things, to analyze or make predictions about their interests or likely behavior.
No profiling takes place at McDonald's without your prior consent. When downloading the McDonald's App and creating an account, you may choose to consent to profiling based on your purchase history and your app behavior. In doing so, you will be categorized into certain groups, such as "new customer" and "types of purchase pattern", so that we can send you personalized experiences and offers that align with your preferences and previous purchases.
The data we collect about you is not resold nor passed on to third parties, except to provide services on our behalf, such as consumer research.
More information about how McDonald's handles your Personal Data can be found in the Privacy Statement in the app.
Your account is secured with an extra step, namely with an email check. You’ll receive a confirmation code in the inbox of the email address you’ve signed up with. Thanks to this code, we’re sure that only you have access to all the goodies in your app account. And to your data.
Read more about this type of security on SafeOnWeb.
We can use your location to help you find the nearest restaurant.
In addition, some restaurants offer local MyM Deals. You only see these when you’re near the restaurant. If you allowed Location Services, we’ll inform you about these specific promotions via a push message.
We regularly inform you about our promotions via a push message, but you will also receive messages that are specifically intended for you. For example, when your points are about to expire, or if we’ve got some delicious offers especially for you. Don't want to miss a thing? Enable push notifications!
