Where will this be taking place?
As of today, 10 January, 10 locations in the North West of England will be implementing a loyalty programme as a trial that could see the light of day in 65 other locations if successful. The 10 spots to be testing out the rewards scheme include:

For every 2,500 points, this is what you can exchange them for:

- £2.50 donation to charity
And finally, for every 4,000 points, this is what you can get:

- Premium Salad
- £4 donation to charity
Michelle Graham-Clare, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer, McDonald’s UK and Ireland said about the newly introduced rewards programme:
As well as rewarding our customers with our iconic menu items, we’re delighted to give customers the option of donating points to the brilliant BBC Children in Need, money which we know will make an incredible difference to the lives of many thousands of young people.
And added:
We can’t wait to hear what our customers in the North West make of the scheme and hope to be able to roll it out further later this year.
