Best ways to redeem your MyMcDonald's Rewards

The only way to redeem your My McDonald's Rewards points is for free menu items. You can redeem items at 2,000, 4,000, 6,000, 10,000, and 14,000 points.

To maximize your point value, choose the most expensive menu items for the fewest points.

If you're a fan of specialty coffees, these often offer better value than food. For example, your best redemption for 2,000 points is a medium-sized fancy coffee drink, like a caramel latte or cappuccino.

On the flip side, regular coffee is one of the worst ways to spend your points.

The best MyMcDonald's credit cards

McDonald's doesn't issue a branded credit card to reward you with more points – but you might reach for a credit card with enhanced restaurant rewards.

The best of these is the American Express Cobalt Card. This card earns 5 points for every $1 you spend at McDonald's – or at any other restaurant or grocery store.
