New McDonald’s offer

McDonald’s has recently made a decision to change its offer for Privileges members. The current 2-for-1 offer on Burgers and McMuffins will cease on 15 December 2008 and will be replaced by a new offer.

We understand that there has been some miscommunication in this arrangement to Privileges members and we apologise for any confusion this has caused.

The change in offer is part of the natural evolution of the Privileges program and corresponds to the introduction of new programs by McDonald's, such as the new 'Value Picks' offer. We hope that Privileges members will continue to support McDonald’s as a valued participant in the Privileges program.

Be one of the first to see the seductive new Boxing Day release, 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona’.

The stunning city of Barcelona is the setting for the romantic adventures of Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson). These two young Americans spend a summer in Spain, and amidst the sensuous Mediterranean they meet a flamboyant artist (Javier Bardem) and his beautiful but crazy ex-wife (Penelope Cruz). When they all become amorously entangled, the results are both hilarious and chaotic. Sexy, witty and wise, Vicky Cristina Barcelona is genuinely captivating and entertaining. Like a glass of sangria, it's a zesty and luscious film to be savoured. In cinemas 26 December 2008.
