For that reason, users can be forgiven for not quite knowing the full terms and conditions of how the points system works. Customers collect points by buying food from the fast food chain, and exchanging these points for their favourite meals. There are several items you can get for free once you've earned enough points, including popular breakfast items and McFlurrys. Fans of the scheme have shared their shock recently after finding that their hard-earned points can actually run out of date. One wrote: "Never really took note of the McDonald's reward points until I had a notification to say they were expiring. Well worth it. "Can only add five items per order so went round twice. "Had to pay for the milkshake, smoothie and one meal (didn't think a third time through drive-thru was appropriate) but all this for less than £13." The Facebook user shared a picture of her four burgers, three lots of chicken nuggets, six portions of fries and three drinks - the majority of which was bought using her points. The post was flooded with baffled comments from Maccis fans who had no idea their points had an expiration date. One wrote: "Oh how soon do the points expire? What time frame do you need to use them?" Another said: "I didn't know they expire! I have 42,350 when did it say yours would expire?" A third commented: "Where does it say they expire i have 28,000." And a fourth wrote: "I didn't know they expire either until I got a notification and email yesterday to say some of mine would expire){kind=link}
