okay I have the mc donalds app but where on the app do I scan the code or put the code in to receive a prize
Hi Bonnie,
On the Home page in the app there should be a button that says Play Now at the top. If you tap that, you’ll be able to scan the code.
I can’t find where to put in the code either. I don’t have an option anywhere on the app to put in a code
Is it possible that the app needs to be updated?
Hi, um that “Play now” options is not appearing in my app, do you know why?
I can’t in my codes 🙁
Are you able to update the app? Maybe it hasn’t rolled out fully yet.
There’s no where to enter this code. What’s up?
This is not working on the application at all – again !! I’m saying again because on Android phones when there was a monopoly game was not working either only on Apple phones was working so you guys (McDonald) making a game without testing it first on the app – what a scam and additional fake to make profit – Hope is not like that Monopoly scam from the 90’s …https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/07/how-mcmillions-scam-rigged-the-mcdonalds-monopoly-game.html
Is anybody else having issues with redeeming the code through the app? It keeps telling me invalid code but i’m scanning the thing I peeled off of the eligible items and the codes don’t work.
I go on the app hit play now, all i am getting is a error web page not available.
There is no option to redeem the code on the app!
i cant even find the code? i peeled the sticker off but there is no code under there?
I have the “play now” option but touching it or the “order now” button beside it doesn’t do anything at all, very frustrating – I have checked to see if the app needs updating on my phone and it says it’s all up to date. Am I doing something wrong or is there an issue with the app?
The “Want Prize With That” header is not working on my Android phone. I can’t click anywhere to interact with the game.
What a scam. Some “smart” marketers figured they can get more people’s data by dangling a carrot of “maybe” getting something for free. Nothing is free.
It works well.. Peel off the sticker say: from the beverage cup and peel off the sticker’s glue paper layer to see the code#. You can then show this code number to the cellphone camera (mcD app) which automatically scans and declare your prize
I’m also have the same issue my is updated and I still don’t have option of play now? So frustrating.
Not working on iphone either
It doesn’t work you can’t put the number in there’s no where to put it
It doesn’t work
I also peeled the sticker and no code was under it!?!?!
I just Uninstaller my old McDonalds app and installed a new one. There is no “play now” option in the new app.
I have no idea how this works.
sucks
I think I may have discovered why people may not be finding the Play Now/Scan Code option?
I typically avoid installing any/all apps on my phone. But when I learned that you could win $15K in this contest, I decided to download the McD’s app.
(Figured I might as well give it a shot, as I usually buy 2 coffees a day from McD’s. so 2 chances daily at that $15K!! As the saying goes…..You can’t win if you don’t play.)
Upon downloading, there was no option anywhere on the app, to allow me to play this contest. I started to think that maybe I needed to make at least one purchase while scanning My Rewards account, before the Play option would appear?
However, I decided to remove the app, then scan for the app from my coffee cup (from this contest). Assumed that would give me the most current version of the app? Still no go. Rinsed and repeated once more. But this time, I opted into receiving notifications from McD’s (I had declined receiving notifications on first 2 downloads/sign ups). Bingo!! The ‘Play Now’ option appeared, which then led me to the ‘Scan Now’ option.
This helped me. Hoping it might help someone else too.
@Kaley
I think the scanner is very temperamental. I also got that invalid code warning. I found that I had to get the code focused inside of the outlined oblong circle reasonably quickly and hold my phone/camera very steady.
I have the app, I see the “Play Now” button at the top of the screen
It worked ONCE, the first time I tried scanning a code. A day later, pressing the “Play Now” button does absolutely NOTHING. Doesn’t flinch, doesn’t give error. It’s like there’s no function associated with the little square box (like if it were just a graphical object)
I’ve cleared cache, I’ve stopped app and restarted it…I’ve not logged out and logged in, nor have I tried to uninstall and reinstall…guidance please
Same. I’ve got a coffee every morning for the last 3 days and entered those 3 codes just fine.
Today I tried to press the “Play Now” button and nothing happens at all.
Seems like a multi billion dollar company can’t make a simple button on an app work.
Is anyone having issues with actually redeeming a prize? I scanned the code, and it told me I won a free apple turnover. It’s been 2 days and I can see that it says I won it, but how do I redeem it??? I tried claim prize but it doesn’t show up. What happened to just handing the sticker to the cashier (smh)
There is no prize now section on my app.
I just got coffees and peeled off the pieces to enter it and app says already been claimed. Guess this has been scammed already.
How do you play without a cell phone?
the app is not working for us to enter the contest. also not available on a desk top. fix it
The contest rules say “no purchase nessicary” but does not say how to do so without a purchase. How rude!
I just won a $50 Walmart gift card. I went to claim it and received an email with a URL code but have no idea where to go to access the gift card.
Email says use the link to redeem your prize, but I have no idea where to use the link – the instructions say to use a print out of the gift card at Walmart or display it on my phone but again, where do I get the card??
Im in Canada if that makes a difference!
thank you,
Why can’t I just peel the tab to see if I won
App this app that huh? NO THANK YOU
The App is still not working, just a blank screen when you press “play now”
I scanned after it was freshly peeled but says that it’s already been claimed like wth…..did the McDonalds workers get to them first somehow??????
I have 8 pieces that I have scanned and I saw 2 were winners but too fast to see what I won and if you scan it again, it tells you already scanned. 3 new pieces I scanned said already scanned. Where do you go for help – I can’t find anywhere? Even when you enter it code manually it says already scanned. Real good game here McDonalds.
I cannot figure this out like the rest of the people on here, no where in the app is there a place to enter the code
You have to deactivate any VPN and turn on Location Services first.
I can’t access the game. I keep clicking “play now” but nothing is happening. Its been like this since the game started.
The banner for the game is there in the app but no matter how i try it won’t click any of the buttons.
Seriously a glitched game.
No QR code under the sticker..???
It’s a 12 characters code – letters and numbers
There is no code when I peeled the sticker
!!??
It’s a 12 characters code – letters and numbers
I LIKE YOUR CONTEST
have fun ha ha ha ha stupid people
Was told even though not able to use the app you could still go on-line to check the numbers for a possible prize. Do not have a cell phone nor do I have internet service at home. How can I check if the numbers might be a winner?
There is alot of seniors that go to mcdonalds that do not go on app or any other programs. so why not have it setup so anybody can enter their number to see if they win or not.
The sticker clearly states that you can enter the code on the game app until Mar 24/25 and yet McD has removed the game from the app. Very poor service!
I too am having trouble with the app .. n
No where to play this on the app .Who do we complain to because the people at Mac restaurant don’t know anything helpful .
I can’t find a place to enter the code on the McDonald’s app, what’s rip off why make a fake game !!!!
I don’t have the capability of an app on my phone. So does this mean I am out of luck & can’t play? Probably wouldn’t have won anything anyways. Those of us who don’t wish to have all theses apps, shouldn’t be penalized for it. We still purchase your products.
this sucks if you don’t have a cell phone you can’t see if you won, no where in this can you check the codes with computer
