Burger King MoneySaving hacks

With the Burger King loyalty scheme, you get 10 points for every £1 spent. We've done the food maths for you – 300 points (so once you've spent £30) will earn you a free Double Cheeseburger or portion of Nuggets.

Essentially, the more points you have, the bigger the reward. At most, once you've spent over £80 and have 800+ points, you can claim any of the following items: Bacon Double XL Cheese meal (normally £9.49), Double Whopper meal (normally £9.49), Steakhouse Angus meal (normally £9.89).

But, as the saying goes, "use it or lose it' – loyalty points will expire after six months from your last eligible purchase so you need to be actively using and scanning the app to ensure you keep your points banked. 

Something we've spotted recently is that when Burger King launches a new menu item, there's often a 2for1 promotion running on it over the weekend. Recently, MSE Oli has spotted this with the Peppercorn Angus burger. So, if you hear of Burger King launching new items, make sure you check the app for deals.

There's a tax on some sugary fizzy drinks and at Burger King, this is only applied to original 'classic' Coca-Cola (not Diet Coke, nor Coke Zero, Sprite, Fanta or any other drinks). It’ll cost you an extra 13p more for medium, or 16p more for a large. If you don't mind ditching original Coke, you can avoid the tax by ordering any other drink off the menu.

Of course, fizzy pop in general is never the healthiest of drinks – but if you'll have one, it might as well contain less sugar and be a few pence cheaper.
