Drop everything. McDonald's is releasing a new VIP Gold Card

Nando’s Black Cards? They’re old news. Stormzy’s one-of-a-kind Greggs Black Card? Meh. McDonald’s is the latest fast food giant to drop a rectangular VIP status symbol – and it’s the holy grail for fans of all things Mc-prefixed.

Wait, what’s happening?

Starting 25 March, McDonald’s will be giving away a grand total of 1,000 golden VIP cards as part of its much-loved Monopoly promotion. But how do you get one? Well. You’ve just got to be lucky enough to find a winning Game Piece label on your next qualifying menu item. It’s as easy (ahem) as that.

Of course, all the classic McDonald’s Monopoly prizes will be up for grabs too – including Big Macs, apple pies, cars and holidays. It’s a veritable prize bonanza.

What does the Gold Card do?

Anyone in possession of a Gold Card will be entitled to a free McDonald’s meal every week for a whole year, via the handy McDonald’s app. Now that’s a fair few McNuggets. Just think of the potential! And you don’t even have to have a Brit Award to get in on the action.

WILL YOU BE DABBLING IN MCDONALD’S MONOPOLY THIS YEAR?
