Don't know how to classify this? A deal/voucher/freebie as the paper is free, vouchers inside the paper and it's a deal to get a cheaper meal lol

you misunderstand, the voucher states 'cannot be used at restaurants with a drive thru'. So it doesnt matter if you go into the restaurant, you cant use this voucher if it happens to have a drive thru attached

shame someone can't scan them in double sided, so that we can print them for use.

These are in the metro every other day...they usually alternate between McDonalds breakfast, lunch and Subway sandwiches.

I haven't seen the McDonalds breakfast ones on the metro for at least a year. Are they reappearing again?

That's terrible, heaven forbid you'd have to actually walk into the restaurant if those other three ever close! :confused:

I've used the vouchers at Beckton Drive Through before, so I think it depends on which person is serving you, whether or not they will put it through.

They're interchangeable whenever I've used them. E.g. Use the big Mac one for a chicken burger. I wouldn't buy them off ebay, just take a stack of discarded Metros after rush hour.

Keep a pile of these handy for my student daughters late nights back from uni. Not the best but I'd rather she grabbed a £1.99 md rather than not bother eating x

Some wheelchair users prefer a Drive Thru for obvious reasons. It saves them so much hassle getting in and out the car then navigating a tight and hectic car park, before venturing into a heaving and pokey spaced restaurant with queue skippers guaranteed. When you consider all that that, its no wonder people generally prefer a Drive Thru.

Haha that reminded me I had someone come up to the Drive Thru on a horse when I worked there many moons ago back in college/uni days.
Never had a wheelchair though!!

If you have a McDonalds where you can pay at a touchsreen thingamijig, you can use the voucher there. And really, all you need is the voucher code. Enter the code manually or scan it, and pay for it. Collect. It does say hand in voucher, but so far, nobody has asked for it, as they are too busy giving out the collections. So the deal is however many times they let you do this. It means, you just need a picture of the code, or the code saved and possibly a backup voucher just in case.

Likewise never had a problem using vouchers inc the ones from WH Smith at the self serve thingy in Mcd as it scans the bar code and they never ask for the voucher
Also had no problems at drive thru over the counter as the staff members never look at the terms or the expiry date, even the machines keep taking them after the expiry date

Useful trick for any veggie people out there:
If you have the chicken sandwich token; you can request for a veggie burger with fries £1.99. I've done it numerous times (only with the chicken sandwich coupon) and different stores have accepted it.
I agree with the above about certain stores accepting it and just depends on who serves you. Judge carefully who you get served by ie who isn't a jobsworth. Tip: colleagues between 21-25 tend to not give a damn. Under 21 seek managers advice and over 26 are the extra cautious/pedantic/jobsworth

Lol brilliant tip. Feel slightly annoyed that I've discarded the ones I never use.

I 50/50 agree with that?.
Bow McDonalds, Beckon/Gallions Reach McDonalds, & Forest Gate McDonalds all have an infamous 'Drive-Through' attached to them too!, but .....
Lets just say I've used such McDonalds Voucher/Coupons BARE TIMES collectively over the years between them?, so .....
The difference between what your doing & what I'm doing MAY be to do with the fact that I'm not entering such places via Car?, I'm entering them via Foot? .. perhaps get out of your Vehicle (after pulling it to one side first ... lol) then hit them after?. :-)
Thats my advice anyway?, lol.

And then what? I love diets. None of them work. The only thing that works is ditching the weight and then not bothering with the processed stuff.
Good luck with it.

Pretty much every McDonald's down my end has a drive thru, only one doesn't as there is no car park area it, that one is opposite the shopping centre.
