McDonald\u2019s customer devastated after her 400 free coffee cards become \u2018worthless\u2019 CTV screenshot\/PixabayA McDonald\u2019s customer who had collected over 400 free coffee cards was left frustrated after the chain decided to discontinue the program. For years, McDonald\u2019s customers have been able to fill out cards and earn a free coffee for every seven purchased, but all those cards have been rendered obsolete. Back in 2022, McDonald\u2019s announced its on-cup reward cards would be coming to an end in Canada, but some customers who had no idea their collected free coffees would be unusable. Vinnie Deluca, who had collected 416 cards over the years, explained that she was baffled that she was no longer able to redeem them. \u201cI tried to use them and was told they were no longer accepting them and that they had expired, but there is no expiry date on them,\u201d she told CTV. \u201cMy 416 cards worth of free coffees have zero value right now.\u201d Another loyal customer, Catherine Schuck, said that her 80 cards were now void and expressed frustration at the situation. \u201cFor them to say we know you purchased 600 coffees and you have the cards, but too bad,\u201d she said. The chain made the change in part of its focus on the McDonald\u2019s app and defended the decision, saying that customers were given ample warning through in-restaurant signs and other forms of communication that the free coffees had to be redeemed before December 31, 2023. Nonetheless, some customers believe McDonald\u2019s should honor their free coffees in some capacity, but the restaurant doesn\u2019t have plans to convert the rewards for its app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
