McDonald's customers can snap up a Cheeseburger for just 99p - down from its usual price of £1.39 - but only on Monday, 28th April, and exclusively through the McDonald's app.
There are more app-exclusive offers running throughout the week.
Customers who spent £10 on breakfast items can get a Sausage & Egg McMuffin® for free - normally priced at £3.39.
Later in the day, customers who spend £15 on main menu items, will be treated to a FREE Mayo Chicken, usually costing £1.49.
All offers are available via the McDonald's app only.
The way it works is that every Monday customers receive new deals in the 'Rewards and Offers' section of the McDonald's app.
Each deal can be redeemed once per customer during the promotional period.
Offers can be used for both McDelivery® orders and in-store purchases via the app.
Customers also earn MyMcDonald's Rewards points with every order - with every penny spent counting as one point.
Through the app, customers are even able to donate points to charities like BBC Children in Need, FareShare and Ronald McDonald House Charities, helping fight youth inequality and food waste in the UK.
Parents are fuming after McDonald's confirms new Happy Meal toy 'limits access' to certain kids
McDonald's has been serving Brits since 1974 - and it's bigger than ever.
Today, it runs more than 1,560 restaurants across the UK and Ireland, welcoming over three million customers every day.
The fast-food giant claims that it's one of the UK's biggest private employers, with more than 159,000 staff and partnerships with over 29,000 British and Irish farmers.
It comes as McDonald's is set to axe five items from its menu in less than ten days in its latest shake-up.
Fans will need to say goodbye to a popular meal, two burgers, dessert and McFlurry as part of the change.
Among the items being axed on May 6 is the Minecraft Meal, which fans described as the first McDonald's 'adult Happy Meal'.
McDonald's is set to launch two new items, while four favourites make a return to menus.
From May 7 customers will be able to get their hands on the new Frank's Red Hot Mayo dip and Frozen Cherry Lemonade.

Holiday ATM warning that could leave holidaymakers without cash this summer

Read below for another mistake you should never make BANK ON IT Holiday ATM warning that could leave holidaymakers without cash this summer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOLIDAYMAKERS might end up without cash this summer if they are not aware of this banking feature. Many travellers choose to withdraw cash at the ATM when they are abroad. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 There is a limit on how much money you can take out from a cash machine abroad Credit: Getty However many could be unaware that there is a limit to how much you can take out every day The amount can vary so it is worth checking with your provider ahead of your travels to avoid being caught short. Below we share how much money each high street bank lets you withdraw each day. BARCLAYS The bank of over 20 million Brits lets customers withdraw up to £300 per day when abroad. This rises to £1000 for those with a premier account. Barclays said customers have amended their cash limits in their Barclays app then these will apply when abroad as well. That means if you set your withdrawal limit to £200, you will only be able to take this much out when you are abroad. You will also be charged a 2.99% fee for withdrawing cash abroad with your Barclays debit card. That means you would be charged an extra £2.99 for withdrawing £100 abroad. The fee will also apply if you pay using your debit card. Lloyds Lloyds said customers can withdraw up to £800 per day when abroad. However, it warned the amount you can take out may vary depending on which ATM you choose to withdraw cash from. Lloyds customers are also charged a 2.99% fee for using their card abroad. But Club Lloyds members have recently had this fee waived as part of changes to the scheme. It now costs £5 per month to have a Club Lloyds account after the price was hiked from £3. Halifax Halifax is a subsidiary of Lloyds and also has a £800 maximum withdrawal fee. Customers are also charged a 2.99% fee for using their card abroad. But from August 1, Halifax Rewards customers will have this charge removed. It comes as part of a refresh of the banking offer, which will see new features added and some taken away. SANTANDER The high street bank said the highest amount that customers can withdraw abroad is £300. The same rate applies to customers withdrawing cash in the UK. This applies to Santander customers using the Edge, Edge Up and Everyday current account. However customers with a Private Current Account, which has a £5 monthly fee, the daily withdrawal limit can be up to £1,500. Santander warned this may vary depending on the ATM. NATWEST NatWest has over 19 million users across the UK, making it another popular bank for customers. How much you can withdraw from an ATM when abroad depends on what type of account you have. For example, customers with a student, graduate savings and teen accounts have their limit set at £250 per day. This increases to £300 for those with premium accounts such as NatWest Silver of Platinum, which offers rewards and travel insurance. The bank also charges customers a 2.75% fee to use their debit card abroad. NATIONWIDE The bank, which has 17 million customers, said current account holders can withdraw up to £500 per day at an ATM abroad. However, the bank warned overseas banks may put higher limits on transactions. For safety purposes and customers may find they are only able to withdraw a sterling equivalent of £135 to £150 per transaction. If customers are affected by this, they can make further withdrawals on the same day up to the accounts withdrawal limit. Customers may be charged for their transactions. Nationwide customers are charged a 2.75% fee to use their debit card abroad. BEWARE OF THIS SIMPLE MISTAKE If you are travelling abroad this summer you should also be aware of this easy ATM mistake that could cost you. Cash machines will usually give you the option to pay in the local currency or in pounds. It may seem like the obvious option to pay in pounds, as it's more familiar and the currency linked to your card. However, by choosing this option you could end up paying more for the cash coming out of the ATM or for the goods you're paying for at the till. That is because the overseas bank will do the conversion to pounds and the rates are unfavourable. However, if you choose to pay in the local currency your card will instead do the conversion which is usually much more favourable. So if you are keen to save cash when abroad, you should opt to pay in the local currency and not pounds.

Burger chain which suddenly closed restaurants making shock return to Scots city

They had previously blamed the cost-of-living crisis for closing their previous city restaurant WE'RE BACK Burger chain which suddenly closed restaurants making shock return to Scots city Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR restaurant chain, which abruptly closed several of its Scottish locations earlier this year, is set to make a comeback. Monterey Jack's is renowned for its gourmet American-style burgers, hot dogs, nachos, and cocktails. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 They are set to reopen in Glasgow this month Credit: Scottish Sun 4 Signage has appeared in the shopping centre Credit: Scottish Sun 4 Monterey Jack's announces return of their restaurant to Glasgow Credit: Scottish Sun However, over the past year, the franchise lost several locations, including Dunfermline, East Kilbride, and Glasgow City Centre. At the time, bosses attributed the closures to the cost-of-living crisis, staffing challenges, and tough economic conditions. The chain currently operates six locations across Scotland. But there is good news on the horizon for the burger brand, as it prepares to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Monterey Jack's is set to make a significant return to the country's largest city after losing its central Glasgow location. The new venue is expected to open this month. Signage has already appeared in the St Enoch Centre, indicating a new location is on its way. Large branding has been installed in the shopping precinct's newest food court, accompanied by a "coming soon" sign that reads: "It's happening." The sign also states: "Award-winning, 100 per cent fresh, prime beef burgers. Succulent chicken, gourmet dawgs, delicious fresh shakes and desserts, and a bucket load of sides. You lucky things!" The firm confirmed via its Facebook page that the site is set to open in June 2025 though the exact opening date remains unclear. The Sun tries Wetherspoons' new menu Fans of the chain have taken to the comments to share their excitement about its return. One wrote: "Love MJ's! This will be great when we're shopping in Glasgow!" Another commented: "As centre staff myself, I actually can't wait to try Monterey Jack's UK – never tried it before!" A third added: "I loved the one in Merchant Square. "Such a shame it closed, like most places in there recently. "Looking forward to it opening."

Hundreds of thousands of Universal Credit claimants to lose nearly £100 a week in Government overhaul

Plus, find out how much Universal Credit you can get NO BENEFIT Hundreds of thousands of Universal Credit claimants to lose nearly £100 a week in Government overhaul HUNDREDS of thousands of people on Universal Credit are set to lose almost £100 per week under Government plans. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) previously announced plans to scrap the health component of Universal Credit for under-22s. 1 The Department for Work and Pensions has announced sweeping benefits changes Credit: EPA At the moment, the Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity (LCWRA) element for Universal Credit is applied to most adults aged between 16 to 21 if they're struggling to stay employed due to health issues. But charity Disability Rights UK is now saying the Government plans will affect almost 110,000 disabled adults. It says they will lose nearly £100 a week if the changes come into effect. That equates to almost £400 a month, or £4,800 over the course of a year. The charity says the move will mostly impact disabled young people who are described as NEET - 'Not in Education, Employment or Training' - and are having difficulties getting into the job market. But it will also affect young people who are in work but are in low-paid or part-time jobs and are using Universal Credit to top up their earnings. Disability Rights UK says on its website: "The proposed policy will not just impact young disabled people who are NEET, but also many young disabled people who are in education. "Despite barriers to students claiming UC, it is often possible for those in non-advanced education who have passed the August after their 19th birthday to successfully claim UC as an adult. "Under the current system, low-income families with a disabled 19-year-old already have to contend with a drop in income of at least £29.25 per week when their child stops being treated as a dependent and starts claiming UC in their own right. "However, under the Government's proposal, young disabled people aged under 22 would only receive £73 rather than £170 per week, meaning a much greater drop in household income." I'm on Universal Credit & I don't know how to survive - I even lost £600 because my husband decided to get a job, it's just impossible The Government unveiled a huge benefits shake-up earlier this year as part of plans to save about £5billion a year in welfare payments. Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said the current system is failing millions with one in 10 working-age Brits now on sickness or disability benefits. She said spending on disability benefits has spiralled by £20billion since the pandemic and pledged to fix the 'broken' system with a reform package. Part of the Government's plans include getting people back into work while protecting the most vulnerable. Research suggests removing access to the health element of Universal Credit for under-22s will not impact 73% of 16 to 24-year-old Brits who fall into the NEET category. How much Universal Credit can you get? TRYING to work out how much Universal Credit you can get can be overwhelming. There are so many different elements that can affect your claim and it makes the whole process even more complicated. There are several free calculators that you can use to help you get an estimate, such as Citizen's Advice, MoneySavingExpert, StepChange and Turn2Us. You will need: Details of all your income, such as existing benefits, tax credits, earnings from employment and your pensions, Details of your partner's income if you're married, in a civil partnership or living with someone as a couple. You will be assessed as a couple Information on any savings you have, How much you pay in council tax per year, and whether you get any discounts, reductions or exemptions, Details of your rent or mortgage payments, Employment and income information about anyone else living with you, such as grown-up children, Details about your carer's allowance if you receive it. You'll need to make sure that the information provided is as accurate as possible to get the truest estimate. What other benefits changes have been announced? The Government's proposed benefits shake-up will see a number of changes come into effect. One that has gained lots of attention is a crackdown on eligibility, particularly for those claiming the main disability benefit Personal Independence Payments (PIP). The number of claimants is expected to double by 2030, with the biggest rise among young people and those with mental health conditions. But from 2026, new claimants will need to score at least four points in one category to qualify as part of a plan to curb the rapid rise in payouts. These are some of the other changes planned:
