McDonald’s and Uber Technologies are launching a new rewards and delivery scheme in 14 markets across the world, enabling McDonald’s customers to collect and redeem loyalty points for Uber rides and eventually collect rewards through Uber too.
The two companies first partnered in 2017 in the US, but the new scheme is being rolled out globally, in the UK, the US, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland.
As McDonald’s expands delivery capabilities within its app, Uber Eats will serve as the preferred delivery partner for orders placed through the McDonald’s app.
Customers will be able to order delivery and track their orders from checkout to doorstep without leaving the app. They will also have the option to order directly through the Uber Eats app.
McDonald’s app orders will primarily be fulfilled through Uber Direct, Uber’s delivery solution, in partnership with Deliverect. Uber will also serve as the fast food giant’s exclusive delivery and rideshare rewards partner in participating markets.
Beginning this month, MyMcDonald’s Rewards members will be able to redeem points for discounts on Uber rides through the McDonald’s app. The companies plan to introduce additional loyalty capabilities that would allow customers to earn MyMcDonald’s Rewards points on eligible orders placed through Uber Eats and redeem those points for rewards and benefits within the McDonald’s app, including Uber ride offers.
MyMcDonald’s Rewards launched in the US in July 2021 and in the UK a year later. As of early 2026, the loyalty platform has reached 210 million 90-day active users across more than 70 global markets.
McDonald’s senior vice president of global franchising and delivery Mason Smoot said: “McDelivery has grown into a global business of more than $20bn a year. That growth reflects customers’ increasing desire for more ways to enjoy the McDonald’s food and beverages they love, whenever and wherever they choose.
“By building on our longstanding relationship with Uber, we’re making the customer experience even easier, more reliable and more rewarding, while continuing to give our fans choice in how they order McDonald’s.”
Uber president and chief operating officer Andrew Macdonald added: “McDonald’s has been an incredible partner since we first teamed up in 2017, and this marks our broadest expansion with McDonald’s to date.
“By powering delivery directly within the McDonald’s app and connecting our rewards programmes, we’re combining the scale of our mobility and delivery networks to bring millions of customers a more rewarding everyday experience.”
