McDonald’s expanding loyalty program nationwide next month

McDonald’s fans across the country will soon be able to start earning rewards on meals. 

The fast-food chain announced Tuesday that its MyMcDonald’s Rewards program will be available at participating restaurants nationwide starting on July 8. 

According to the announcement, loyalty members will receive 100 rewards points for every dollar "spent on qualifying purchases."

However, the rewards program will not be available on delivery orders.

The MyMcDonald’s Rewards program won’t be limited to the U.S., however. 

Earlier this month, McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski said the company plans to expand the program in its six biggest markets including the U.S., Canada and potentially Germany by the end of next year, Reuters reported.
