When you make a purchase from Dec. 5 to 25, you’ll be automatically entered into the McDonald’s McGold Card Sweepstakes. With the McGold Card, you’ll get free McDonald’s for life. Or more accurately, two free McDonald’s meals a week for 50 years — an estimated value of $52,350.

McDonald’s is only selecting three winners, and each purchase you make on the McDonald’s app will count as an entry to the sweepstakes. If you’re one of the lucky winners of the sweepstakes, you’ll not only get one McGold Card, but you’ll get three more to distribute to your friends.

You probably won’t get a McGold Card, but we know how you can get free McDonald’s year-round.

 

Get McDonald’s merchandise when you make a purchase on Dec. 7 & 14.
