The weirdest thing I've discovered is that the app doesn't show you certain discounts (but you still get them) - there's often a BOGO discount on the sausage McMuffin (the only true McMuffin, all you egg McMuffin eaters can gtfo) where the second is a dollar (or sometimes even free!) but nothing tells you this until you add a second one to the order.

The McDonalds app is the weirdest mish-mash of modern app design with ancient CRM systems I've ever seen. It looks like they finally updated the email receipt - it used to be text-based straight from the 80s.

They just brought the 2 for $5 breakfast sandwich deal back. They've had the "buy one sausage muffin/biscuit or hashbrown and get another for a dollar", though.

The BOGO Big Mac deal is what always pulls me in.

I'm big on the fish sandwich and breakfast burrito. I went there the other day to use the free hashbrown coupon. They cancelled it saying they had no hashbrowns in stock. Seems pretty hard to believe that a McDonald's ran out of 5 cent frozen hashbrowns that come in industrial sized bags. I almost readded it paying for it to test the theory.

It will be interesting to see if locations start pulling tricks to avoid honoring the deals in the app.
