How to Find Monopoly Tokens on Menu Items
Look for Markings on Packaging
When you buy participating menu items, check wrappers, cups, and bags for small peel-off tabs or printed codes that say Monopoly.

During many campaigns, you can earn digital tokens directly in the McDonald's app by ordering eligible items and scanning receipts.
Collect and Manage Your Tokens
Organize Tokens by Type
Group tokens by property family, such as red, blue, and green, to track progress toward full sets more easily.
Check Expiration Dates
Each token set has a valid campaign window, so verify dates on the official rules page before attempting to redeem.
Redeem Prizes and Understand Odds
Instant Prizes via Self-Service Kiosks
Many small rewards can be claimed immediately at in-store kiosks by entering a code or scanning a token.
Online Redemption for Larger Awards
Special prizes and Grand Prizes usually require registration on the official promotion website with token details.
