The following report is by Food & Wine:
It’s quite possibly the most legendary perk in the fast food world: The McDonald’s McGold Card, entitling its holder to free McDonald’s for life. Even if you’re not a huge MickeyD’s fans, you have to admit that being able to drop into thousands of locations across the country for a free coffee or fries or 30 McRibs on the regular is, at the very least, convenient.
In the past, the card has only been available to specific luminaries — apparently Microsoft-founder Bill Gates and actor Rob Lowe both have one. But that’s changed in recent years. In 2018, for the first time ever, McDonald’s gave one away as part of a sweepstakes. Now, just in time for the holidays, the chain says they’ll be giving three people four McGold Cards each — “not just for you, but also three of your besties, too” — to promote the brand’s so-called “SZN of Sharing.”
Billed as “a first-of-its kind holiday celebration happening exclusively on the McDonald’s App,” McDonald’s “SZN of Sharing” will offer things like daily offers on food and merch drops for app users from December 5 to Christmas. Examples of food deals — which change every two or three days — include a BOGO Big Mac, a Double Cheeseburger for 50 cents, or a free 6-piece Chicken McNuggets with a $1 minimum purchase.
And speaking of a minimum purchase, both merch drops will also require users to spend $1 on the app to unlock the goods. The first drop will take place on December 7 and include Chicken McNuggets stockings, McDonald’s Dream Order PJs, a McDonald’s AM Wrapper Hoodie and PM Wrapper Hoodie in Egg McMuffin or Cheeseburger prints, and a puzzle featuring McDonald’s dipping sauces. The second drop, set for December 14, will be in partnership with Diamond Supply Co. and feature Hamburglar graphic tees, a hoodie, and a beanie.
But back to the McGold Card, every purchase made through the app during the SZN of Sharing will also give users a chance to win the four legendary cards — which, according to the official rules, are technically the equivalent of two meals per week for 50 years.
Our fans have been fascinated by the lore of the McGold Card and if it really exists. Now, we’ll make this McDonald’s legend a reality for our fans by giving them the ultimate holiday gift — a chance to win a card and then share access to it with three of their family or friends.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[20] Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: [21] For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. Proverbs 23:20-21
I realize only 12 cards will be raffled away, and while that is a relatively small number; I mention this announcement because it once again exemplifies America’s consumerist and gluttonous heart. Moreover, McDonald’s, I would imagine, will see a temporarily boost in general sales because of this promotion; draining the wallets of the already broke consumer.
Furthermore, it is another good way of greasting the wheels of the destitute people into accepting the idea of “owning nothing and be[ing] happy” – including eating bottomless slop at Mickey D’s.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I hadn’t ate at Mcdonald’s in years and don’t plan on starting at least at home.I know what I put in my food and there is no nano partical witchcraft voodoo garbage or whatever crap they decide to put in there no thank you I’m good.
YUCK! Mcdonalds is the worst, I would not feed my dog that garbage .
McDonald’s is pure slop and junk! All it does is make me hungrier, fatter, and sicker not just because of calories, sugars, and refined carbs, but also because of chemicals.
It’s also part of the depopulation agenda as well as to fund the Vatican ruled “healthcare” system to keep those hospitals and doctors offices especially bariatric surgeons occupied and the pharmacy witchcraft lines long.
A population that’s sick and overweight/obese out of shape are easier to control.
It’s not free food, it’s free toxic poison for life! No thanks!
That is absolutely right and true, Cynthia.
