Customers will be able to earn points when they purchase one of these deals by opting into MyMcDonald’s Rewards.
The scheme means every penny spent equals one reward point, so this week’s offers will get you 119 points when grabbing a Single McMuffin and 149 points when picking up a Big Mac.
The loyalty scheme allows customers to access rewards when they hit certain milestones on the app.
If they earn 1,500 points they can choose between free menu items including small fries, a Hash Brown, a regular cold soft drink or a side salad.

When they reach 2,500 points, a Double Cheeseburger, Vegetable Deluxe or apple pie becomes available.

And if they hit the 5,500 points milestone, customers can choose from a Mighty McMuffin, a McSpicy, a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese or a McCrispy.
Customers also have the option to donate the cash equivalent of their points to BBC Children in Need, FareShare and Ronald McDonald House charities.

How to save money at McDonald’s
There are plenty of ways to save money at the fast food chain, whether in a restaurant or from the comfort of your home.
You can get freebies on your birthday if you’ve got the McDonald’s app, which is downloadable on to iPhones and Androids.
Remember to log your date of birth when you sign up though – this is how it knows when the special day is.
Meanwhile, you can nab a Big Mac and fries for just £1.99 by filling out a quick feedback survey after making a purchase.
You receive a 12-digit code on your receipt which you can use to fill out the survey on McDonald’s website.
Make sure you do it within 60 days of receiving it though, after which it will expire.
Choosing the right Maccie’s branch to visit could save you some cash as well, as menu prices can vary in restaurants just a few miles apart.
