McDonald’s Gold Card: All the Info
There are many claims circulating about the McDonald’s Gold Card. Supposedly, the Gold Card allows for unlimited free meals at the fast-food chain. That’s not entirely true, because there are different versions of the mysterious card. Plus, you can’t just buy it—you have to be very lucky.
- With a lot of luck, the Gold Card can be won as part of the Monopoly sweepstakes. To participate in the sweepstakes and receive the Gold Card as an instant prize, you must scan the code on the promotional products.
- It is also possible to receive the Gold Card as a collectible prize. To do so, you must collect digital streets in the McDonald’s app . In 2024, the Gold Card was awarded ten times as an instant prize and fifteen times as a collection prize.
- However, the Gold Card that can be won through McDonald’s Monopoly is not valid indefinitely, but only for six months. Furthermore, it is not valid at all locations. The cards available to win in Germany are issued by franchisees, meaning they can only be used at the respective location. The franchisees also determine whether and under what circumstances the Gold Card is awarded.
- There are rumors online that the Gold Card cannot actually be won. According to t-online, however, Juenessee Malloy from Scotland is said to have won a Gold Card. She is said to have dined at a McDonald’s restaurant every week for 20 years. With the Gold Card, she can now eat at McDonald’s for free once a week.
McDonald’s Gold Card: VIP Card
In addition to the contest, the Gold Card is also awarded to celebrities. It is not known why certain famous people receive the card. Unlike the Gold Card in the Monopoly contest, the VIP Card is said to be valid for life and at every location. However, the VIP Card has not been officially confirmed.
- With this card, you can supposedly eat for free at McDonald’s restaurants for life. Among others, Bill Gates, entrepreneur Warren Buffett, and actor Rob Lowe are said to be holders of a VIP Card.& nbsp;According to Express, Thomas Gottschalk is the only German to possess the McDonald’s Gold Card.
- It is not entirely clear whether the VIP Card is actually redeemable worldwide. Some sources claim this is true, while others suggest that the Gold Card for celebrities also has restrictions. For instance, it is said to be valid only at American McDonald’s locations.
- Rapper Kay One also owns a special McDonald’s card. However, this is a black card that allows him to dine at McDonald’s for free. This card is not globally standardized, but rather a regional or individual offer.
