How do I know which restaurants are participating in Mobile Ordering?
1. If you turn on location services, Mobile Order & Pay will appear in the McDonald’s app as a feature when you’re within 5 miles of a McDonald’s restaurant that offers Mobile Order & Pay.
2. Within the location map, after selecting a restaurant icon, selecting the white detail box will also indicate if Mobile Order & Pay is available at a particular location. If the restaurant is participating, “Order Here” will appear in black letters at the bottom of the detail page, allowing you to select it and begin the order. If not, “Order Here” will appear muted out, indicating that Mobile Order & Pay is not enabled at that location.
How do I complete and pick up my order?
You can complete and pick up your McDonald’s order at any participating restaurant. When you arrive at the McDonald’s restaurant, you need to check in and choose how you want to pick up your order: pick up Curbside, inside the restaurant, or Drive Thru.
These options may vary by restaurant and time of day. When you check in with your preferred pick-up method at the restaurant, your mobile order is completed, and the restaurant charges your registered payment card.
Remember, never use the McDonald’s app while driving! Only check in when you are safely stopped at a McDonald’s restaurant, and make sure your location services settings are turned on.
Can I add a McDonald’s deal or promotion to my McDonald’s Mobile Order?
If a Deal is available for redemption through Mobile Order & Pay, there is an “Add Deal to Mobile Order” button below the code when viewing the Deal in the McDonald’s app.
To redeem the Deal, choose the “Add Deal to Mobile Order” button then customize the items in this order. Choose “Add To Order” to add the Deal to your bag. Explore some of our deals and promotions.
How do I redeem points for free McDonald’s?
You can redeem with contactless ordering in the McDonald’s app by selecting Rewards, choosing the favorite you want to redeem and choosing “Add to Mobile Order”.
Can I redeem a reward and earn points in the same order?
Yes! You earn points on every eligible purchase, so if you’re redeeming a reward and ordering more food in addition to that, you will still earn 100 points for every dollar you spend on eligible products.
What happens if I never check in or pick up my take-out order?
Your order will not be prepared until you check in at a participating McDonald’s restaurant. Only after you check in at the restaurant of your choice with your preferred pickup method will your registered payment card be charged by the restaurant.

Security experts recommend that individuals use good password complexity and different user name and password combinations for each account.
