Latest McDonald's delivery promotions and deals (2020)

[UPDATED, Sept 2]

After a mini-hiatus (that caused many of us a minor heart attack), McDonald's has reopened for delivery, takeaway and drive-through.

Love it or hate it, but you cannot ignore McDonald's. You'd most likely end up ordering in from here regardless of your mood or occasion.

It could be for a quick breakfast with the folks, after a night on the town or simply because you want a box of 20-piece McNuggets and a McFlurry to celebrate singlehood - McDonald's has always been the go-to.

Which is why for many (including us), it felt like the world was caving in when McDonald's abruptly announced that it was going to close until further notice.

Thankfully, this only lasted a little over 3 weeks (phew!). So if you're like us and you can't wait to get your McDonald's fix, here's what you need to know about their new opening hours, and how to save on your next McDelivery or GrabFood order.

Last updated on Sept 1. McDonald’s promotions and deals are subject to change without prior notice.

Why did McDonald's decide to close?

Even though they were on the list of essential shops allowed to remain open during the circuit breaker, McDonald's decided to close on April 18 as a preventive measure to contain the community spread of Covid-19 and protect their senior staff.

This came a few days after five of their employees tested positive for Covid-19.

Has McDonald's changed their opening hours?

During Phase 2 of post-Circuit Breaker, most of McDonald's restaurants (including those which are situated in parks), McCafe counters and dessert kiosks will be open daily from 6am to 12am. McDelivery, GrabFood and selected Drive-Thrus will be open till 2am.

Dining-in at your favourite McDonald's is now possible. In accordance with social distancing guidelines, during your next visit, you will find that tables have been placed 1-metre apart, seats are marked and protective shields have been installed at the front counter.

Any other changes?

Yes, just one more. McDelivery will now be 100 per cent contactless and will not be accepting cash upon delivery.

Instead, it will only be accepting cashless payments like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, NETS, NETS Flashpay, EZ Link, Android Pay, Apple Pay, etc.

How much does a McDonald's Extra Value Meal cost now?

No, you’re not wrong. Over the years, their prices have increased considerably. Remember not so long ago, double cheeseburgers would come for a mere $2? Fast forward to 2020, a regular cheeseburger on McDelivery costs $3.20 — almost twice the price!

Apart from the overall price increase, how much each meal costs also depends on whether you are ordering at a restaurant or on McDelivery.

At restaurants, you will still find the budget-friendly $5 McChicken and Filet-O-Fish Extra Value Meals hidden behind main menu items. 

For those ordering on McDelivery, the cheapest meal you can find is a McChicken Extra Value Meal, which is priced at $5.95 and the most expensive, an Angus BLT Extra Value Meal, which would set you back by a whopping $9.80. Oh, and this doesn’t even include the $4.00 delivery charge.
