How To Get Free McDonald’s Fries This July

Crispy yet fluffy, just the right kind of salty—you really can’t deny that McDonald’s has kind of perfected the art of the French fry. (Well, unless you’re a steak fries kind of person, but that’s certainly not my kind of fry.) They’re the ultimate skinny fries, the kind I find myself craving when I’m in need of some classic, comforting, and familiar fast food. And for a limited time this month, you can actually score the fast food restaurant’s famous fries for free.

McDonald’s Is Celebrating National Fry Day

Yes, Free Fry Fridays might be gone for good, but your chance to nab those iconic McDonald’s French fries for free is back. In fact, this deal is just as stellar as that Fridays-only offer. McDonald’s is marking National Fry Day with a free fry offer. National Fry Day falls on July 10th and on that day you can score a free medium McDonald’s fry with a $1+ purchase. 

So, even if you’re not the kind of person who usually celebrates National Fry Day each year, you’ll want to make plans to ring in the kinda-sorta made-up holiday with this salty, delicious freebie. After all, who knows when your next chance to score free French fries from McDonald’s might be?

How To Get The Deal

You can only take advantage of this one-time McDonald’s free French fry offer on July 10th. In order to get those free fries, however, you’ll need to do two things: download the McDonald’s app and be a Rewards member.

Once you’ve downloaded the McDonald’s app and signed up for MyMcDonald’s Rewards, you’ll need to make a minimum $1 purchase in the app in order to be eligible for the free fries. (Let’s be honest, though: McDonald’s fries pair best with a classic ol’ cheeseburger or those oddly-shaped chicken nuggets anyway.) The offer is only valid once per person—and at participating restaurants. It’s also important to note that this deal only applies to the medium size fry.

Just remember when you pull up at your local McDonald’s to ask (nicely!) for hot, freshly-made fries. That’ll make your free National Fry Day fries even better at their nonexistent price. Personally, I’m going to use this freebie as a chance to pick up one last Fried Apple Pie from my local McDonald’s. That’s another limited-time favorite that might not return in the near future, so this July is bringing plenty of fast food surprises that won’t stick around too long.
