    I see what you did there. You waited right on midnight (AEDT). Published a deal about “apple pies” in order to get your post in before the others, submitted the post and then went back and edited it to the correct deal. Well played dealbot, aka chibot…

      Honest mistake. Went back to read it to notice I got it wrong.

      Who's chibot?

      • +6

        Hmmmm, Delightfully Devilish dealbot. Steamed Hams indeed.

        • +1

          Yes and he calls it a "quarter pounder" despite the fact we're obviously metric?

    • +2

      It was done by a “bot” after all.

    App has been stuffed lately…

      I tried claiming the $1 fries the other day but when I got to the window, the Maccas app just crashed every time I tried to open it. I told the lady and showed her that it wasn't working and she just put them through for $1 for me without a code.

        she just put them through for $1 for me without a code.

        So why are they wasting money building an app if you can redeem the deals without it? It doesn’t make any sense??

        • +1

          I would say she would have just had to do a manual price override rather than having a button there for the $1 fries deal. It really would be nice if they would do even the slightest optimisation on their app so that it actually does what you would expect an app to do.

            @XVX:

            o that it actually does what you would expect an app to do.

            Obviously that’s too hard.

            That app must be bleeding edge technology

        • Marketing and consumer tracking… can’t get individualised data if people just walk in claiming promos over the counter

          • @jwh: You’d think they’d be more focused on sales rather than data.

            • @jv: Consumer data seems to be almost as valuable as sales for businesses these days with how badly they want it.

              • @XVX: Maybe we should all stop buying then and watch their business thrive on just collecting data

                • @jv: If we don't buy, how are they going to gather data on the fact that we love the fries and hate the apple pies?

                  • +1

                    @XVX: They can use robo-call polls.

      • I couldn't get the $1 fries (app crashing like you) and the staff at the counter wouldn't process it without the code so I walked out. Though I did manage to get the $2 nuggets on Wednesday I think it was.

    • +1

      Ironically, the app is working better than ever on my end. Which isn't saying much…

      I get fewer errors, have no problems creating new accounts, but the black screens since a few months ago still persist.

      The only thing I did by accident was go to settings and activate all permissions (incl. Phone and contacts…).

      • There were a few rapid-fire forced updates around 3 weeks ago.

        Seems like the shortcut to fix location after checkout has disappeared. You need to reverse the checkout first.

    I stopped in at Maccas at about 10:30pm Perth time tonight, opened the app and went "Cool, $2 quarter pounder - expires 11:59pm AEST 2nd March 2019".
    Wouldn't let me use it. It said "Sorry, this offer is not currently active".

    Maccas, if you're going to play AEST only then at least make it fair ploise. Give it to me 3 hours early and take it off me 3 hours early if you like, don't make it show up in the app if I can't claim it. Ended up driving up the road to HJ's and got 2 Whopper Jnr's for $3.90. Your loss Maccas.

    • I think it's actually AEDT. Wouldn't let me redeem at 11:30pm in Brisbane with the same error.

  • +15

    Free, if you remove Beef Patty :)

    • +7

      Apparently by removing the beef I get a free burger and McDonald's owes me 25c

      • +4

        So, add the 3 for $3 deal and shove the cheeseburger into the bun and get fries and a drink for $0.75 extra….. :-)

        • Worked for me thanks. Very cheesey.

      • Hahahha can someone actually try this and report back if maccas gives them 25c

      • +2

        Edited… thought the hack had stopped working, but sure enough still works. 25c taken off total.

    • +1

      Why would you bother though?

      • Cook up a hash brown from the freezer and use it for a patty instead, I do it all the time when I want non meat options at McDonald's where there is zero decent non meat options.

      • Yes why would anyone possibly want a free cheese sandwich?

        • They could be vegetarian?

    • +1

      Hmm

      https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/224598/67251/screensho…

      I submitted it and got an order number. I cbf driving past to check in.

      • +2

        What is left just bun? or is there sauce and cheese?

  • +8

    For those in Brisbane CBD the value of the patty is $3.

    $1 discount on your order ;)

    • +6

      That's enough to buy a free frozen coke!

    • +4

      There’s going to be a lot of meatless qtr pounders being ordered today … the vegetarians will be happy

  • can I order more than 1 burger? or limited to 1 each account?

    • 1 per account.

    • -3

      Is this serious question? You must be new here?

  • Just tested redeeming inside app for Nepean Hwy Frankston store, but it keeps saying, "This Offer isn't supported at the Restaurant selected" 🙄

  • It’s free if you remove the beef paty. Not bad if anyone needs a free vegi bun

    • Wow, might try this out!

    • whats in the bun just cheese and tomato sauce?

  • +2

    Royale with Cheese

    • +1

      Classic.

  • +1

    Saw this in the app, the fries that went with it cost more! LOL

  • Tasted this nice stuff today.

  • my app never works, cant click anything

  • Showing up at 5.80 on my app

    • Go to my rewards section

  • Is there a code to use at the kiosks?

  • Now this is a deal what we’re talking about unlike the free pickle deal!
