The catch? You have to order from the Burger King app IN a McDonalds (or parking lot)

If you’re in a McDonald’s and you haven’t ordered yet, you’re Burger King’s target audience at the moment. The company is offering Whoppers for one penny to anyone who orders via their app while standing inside a McDonald’s, according to CNBC. The promotion is meant for the app’s relaunch—it uses geofencing to determine if you are within 600 feet of a McDonald’s. So really, you just need to be in the parking lot.

In our town they are across the street from each other. I plan on doing this.

Definitely worth it. I love Whoppers. And Big Macs.

Mine are about a half mile from each other.

Note: you also have to redeem the coupon within an hour of activating it. The BK app geo-locates you against a list of known McDonalds locations via GPS on your phone to approve the coupon. Good for one Whopper, one time.

Did it the other day. They whacked me 60 seconds to add cheese. So 61 cents, lol. Also, apparently, the McDonalds app lets you buy a drink for $1 and fries for $1, so you can have a whole meal for $2.01. Not bad, not bad!

I tried this, but apparently my stone age city with its low tech BK can't handle online orders yet. Sigh.

Interesting, I've got a McD's and a BK down the street from each other here. I just used a (paper, remember that stuff) coupon to get B1G1 Whoppers.

I'd try this, but the BK near me closed suddenly a couple of months ago. :(

I literally can’t remember the last time I’ve been to a Burger King and have no desire to go even if free whoppers were served.

How does mobile ordering with BK even work? McD's has designated parking spots and they bring out the food. Do we go to the drive-thru window or what?

Hmm, Whopper with cheese. That's something I never considered. I'll give it a go next time.

I believe you can do drive-through, walk-in pickup, or walk-in dine-in. I've only ever used the drive-through. You just say you ordered online & give them the order number, then drive through to pick it up. You pre-pay through the app, so you really only have to wait if there's a line or if you got there faster than they made your food. Surprisingly convenient, especially since their app always has good deals!

Yeah, a Whopper with cheese is my go-to, pretty tasty!
