McDonald’s have a secret gold card which gets you free food

The sensational plastic is similar to Nando’s black card

WHETHER you're after an instant hangover cure or a quick bite to eat when out and about, sometimes McDonald's is the only thing which will hit the spot.

The rapid food chain may be good value compared to a fancy meal, but after a while the cost of all those Big Macs and chicken nugget meals does commence to add up.

If you're a regular McDonald's customer, you may be interested to know that the restaurant suggest an special gold card – which gives the holder access to unlimited free food.

It's much like the Nando's black card, held by celebs including Ed Sheeran and Example, the Greggs VIP card and Burger King's 'crown club card'.

Sadly, to get your palms on this off the hook plastic, to have to be rather a big deal yourself.

Billionaire Warren Buffet possesses one, as does Bill Gates, and American actor Rob Lowe once exposed he has a McGold Card too, while being interviewed on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Rob told the cameras: “The way I got this is my friend in Santa Barbara's dad is one of the original McDonald's franchisees, and he invented the Egg McMuffin.

“Which to me is like the greatest human achievement.

“And he invented Ronald McDonald.”

The host replied: “You know what's gonna happen when you attempt to use this thing?

“They're never going to have seen it before.

“The employee's going to be like 'what in the hell is this?'

“And then they'll all gather around and then you'll ultimately go 'alright, here's the $Three.40'.

“But that is pretty good.

“And to know the stud that invented the Egg McMuffin, that's a major major thing.”

Rob then joked: “I know powerful people. I truly do.”

We just hope the celeb doesn't encounter any robbers called Rob, as the card is only labelled with his very first name.

This is all slightly annoying for ordinary punters, given that most celebs and billionares can afford to fork out for a burger and fries.

Albeit we do all have something to thank Rob's friend's dad for.

And, if you're indeed desperate to get your paws on one, there is some hope – as ordinary folk have sometimes been awarded the cards too.

In May 2013, Charles Ramsey was reportedly awarded a gold card after leaving his Big Mac half-eaten, to rush to the aid of three kidnapped women.

The hero won unlimited McDonald's via the US for a year and for the rest of his life in the state of Ohio, where he was living at the time.

And 100-year-old rapid food fan Nadine Baum was also recently granted free McDonald's for the rest of her life.

Sadly, the plastic seems to be even more elusive than Nando's black cards – and presently isn't available in Britain.

A spokesman for McDonald's told Mirror Online: “Sorry to be a let-down, but the McDonald’s gold card does not exist in the UK.

“Individual stores will make a call on the individual, for example a regular customer or local/national hero but there is no policy in the UK of providing away food to people and no plans to introduce it…”
