Want to donate generously using your McDonald’s Rewards Points? Here’s how
Have you saved enough McDonald’s Rewards Points? This holy month of Ramadan, you can use your Rewards Points for the benefit of others.
McDonald’s UAE is allowing its App users to donate their Rewards Points during Ramadan and will match the total Rewards Points donation that its customers collate during Ramadan.
Each 100 Rewards Points will equate to AED 1, which will be donated to Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) to support its humanitarian aid efforts.
McDonald’s UAE’s collaboration with Emirates Red Crescent started six years ago. In total, McDonald’s has gathered over AED 2.8 million in donations to support ERC’s local humanitarian aid efforts.
