January 1, McDonald’s Offers Chance to Win Free Food For Life

McDonald’s is offering the chance to win free food for life.

The fast food giant unveiled its “SZN of Sharing” promotion, announcing that customers who use their app in December will have a chance to win the McDonald’s Gold Card for themselves and three friends — giving them free food for life.

The promotion runs from Dec. 5-25. Customers who take advantage of various promos in the app throughout that time will be automatically entered to win the big prize.

“Our fans have been fascinated by the lore of the McDonald’s Card and if it really exists. And now, we’ll make this McDonald’s legend a reality for our fans by giving them the ultimate holiday gift – a chance to win a card and then share access to it with three of their family or friends,” said Tariq Hassan, McDonald’s USA chief marketing and customer experience officer.

“Just by using the McDonald’s App, everyone can experience the joy that comes with sharing McDonald’s this holiday season.”

The card’s fine print entitles recipients the equivalent of two meals per week for 50 years — potentially a total of 5,200 free McDonald’s meals.

The McGold Card was rumored for years. Business Insider reported that McDonald’s franchisees have previously given the card to individuals they consider heroes.

A handful of celebrities have also snagged the card, including Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and Rob Lowe. The actor actually showed off his McGold Card during a 2015 appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
