I don't see the Free Strawberry Pie offer on my mobile app anymore even though I didn't redeem it. What gives? Did McDonald's discontinue the promo prematurely? It was supposed to run until Sunday like all the other offers. I'm in the GTA. I checked like five different McDonald's in my area and none of them have this offer in their offers section.
McDonald's or the individual franchises might be getting more stingy? On McDonald's official website apparently you can get a bagel sandwich for $2.99 + tax. But in the app it says $3.49 + tax. Perhaps because I have a history of ordering bagel breakfast sandwiches at the $2.99 price point and now they want to jack up the price on me. And I'm missing two other offers as well.

I've found a loophole. If you add the code or $10 of items (order doesn't matter) just remove the $10 of items and It'll think you have $10 in basket and just give you the pie for free. Works for the Junior Chicken offer as well. I'm not sure if this works in your area, this was tested at the Scarborough Woodside Square location. YMMV

Same, was planning on getting it today but the offer disappeared. Instead I only have a free medium fountain drink with the purchase of $1 or more.NEETtrader wrote: ↑ I don't see the Free Strawberry Pie offer on my mobile app anymore even though I didn't redeem it.

I wonder if maybe the franchises are running out of strawberry pie and that's why they took the offer down. Since in the fine little print McDonald's says that they reserve the right to cancel offers at any time. And franchises can choose to opt-out of these promotions. So it could be franchise-specific opting out (though I tried 5 different franchises near me and none of them have the offer anymore).TheCheapCDN wrote: ↑ My offer is gone as well.

The offer was gone for me today as well in BC.
Nobody cares which companies you use/subscribe to on a monthly basis unless there is a deal to be had. Why advertise for them in your forum signature?

Offer is back again! At least in ON.
Says it expires in 2 days, but who really knows any more.

I hate it when they do that. Because what happens if you order a Strawberry Pie and they are out of Strawberry Pie? Then they'll offer you an Apple Pie as a less sexy substitution. lol.MegaSilver wrote: ↑ It's a mobile only offer now too. No option to Scan at restaurant
McDonald's has had mobile ordering for 2 years and they still don't have their shit together.
It's rare that I ever order from a pizzeria online and they are ever out of something. Because pizzerias have perfected supply management since online ordering for pizza has been a thing for a very long time.
I make personal notes of which franchises tend to run out of stuff often whenever I make a mobile order. Because I hate playing the substitution or refund game. If you want a refund for a mobile order, you have to go through corporate I believe so I just take the subs. (I don't share these ****-ups with corporate since I don't want to be that guy. I know that franchises are having it rough and I imagine that employee morale at McDonald's locations in the GTA is very low being paid $14/hr when rent, auto insurance, health care, etc. is expensive. McDonald's employees tend to have better morale than Tim Horton's though at least)
The QR scanner at the register doesn't even always work too at some franchises with the app offers. They have major issues to work out with their app. Their app is very buggy too. I can be at a location with GPS enabled and it'll say "oops you're not there yet" at some places where the GPS signal may not be as strong. Like at a McDonald's in Wal-Mart. And lots of people have reported having their McDonald's Canada accounts hacked (either they are reusing passwords or have easy to bruteforce passwords). Their app has no bruteforce protection. No temporary lockout after numerous failed attempts.

WTF, offer was there an hour ago, but free drink offer gone. Now I'm in McDonald's, it's gone again. Ridiculous....day is coming when a loophole will exist to beat them big time, and this will help me justify taking advantage of.
