Is McDonald's or Burger King Cheaper in Singapore?

Neither McDonald's nor Burger King is cheaper every time in Singapore: the cheaper one depends on the meal you want and the deal running that week. McDonald's has McSaver meals and app deals, Burger King has e-coupons, so compare the same kind of meal at both, including delivery, and go through ShopBack before you pay for a delivery order.

Is McDonald's or Burger King cheaper in Singapore?

Both chains run value meals and rotating deals, so a fair answer compares deals, not menu prices. Here is where each one puts its savings:

What you want to know	McDonald's Singapore	Burger King Singapore
Value meals	McSaver meals on selected burgers	Meal for 1 and Meal for 2 deals
Coupons	Deals inside the McDonald's app	E-coupons on the BK website, to download or share
Loyalty	MyM Rewards in the McDonald's app, earn points	Sign up for BK Alerts for offers
Delivery	McDelivery, with its own delivery deals	BK Delivery

What that means in practice:

• For a quick solo meal, compare a McSaver meal with Burger King's Meal for 1 coupons that week.
• For two or more people, Burger King's Meal for 2 and Mix and Match coupons are worth checking against a McDonald's sharing order.
• If you eat at McDonald's often, MyM Rewards app deals can bring the price down on in-store and takeaway orders.

McDonald's Singapore: McSaver meals and MyM Rewards

McDonald's Singapore's main ways to pay less are McSaver value meals and deals in the McDonald's app. A few things to know:

• McSaver meals are its value range on selected burgers. The burgers and prices change, so check the website or app.
• The McDonald's app lets you earn points and unlock deals through MyM Rewards.
• App deal terms matter. McDonald's says many MyM Rewards deals are for in-store and takeaway purchases only, not McDelivery, and cannot be combined with other promotions or rewards.
• McDelivery runs its own delivery deals, and McDonald's says it is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Burger King Singapore: e-coupons and meal deals

Burger King Singapore puts its savings into e-coupons on its website. The coupons are grouped into five sets:

• Breakfast
• Meal for 1
• Meal for 2
• Mix and Match
• Snacks and Desserts

You can download a coupon, download all of them, or share them with friends, and the site explains how to use BK e-coupons. Burger King also has an Offers page and BK Delivery, and you can sign up for BK Alerts to hear about new offers.

Is delivery or pickup cheaper for fast food?

Pickup is often cheaper on the same meal, because there is no delivery fee and many app deals are for in-store or takeaway orders. Delivery can still be the better deal when:

1. A delivery-only deal is running on the meal you want.
2. You are ordering for a group, so the delivery fee is shared across more meals.
3. You go through ShopBack before you pay, so part of what you spent comes back as cash and the effective price drops.

Why ShopBack is a step before you pay for delivery

Before you pay for an online food order, go through ShopBack first. For food delivery in Singapore, open foodpanda from ShopBack Singapore and check out in the same session. ShopBack is a post-purchase discount: go through it before you pay and the effective price drops.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

Discount codes are often expired, single-use or for new customers only. Going through ShopBack before you pay usually still gives money back on the order. Check the live rate and terms on the foodpanda page on ShopBack before you order, because some codes or order types may not count.

Step by step: paying less on a burger meal

1. Decide what you want: a solo meal, a meal for two or a group order.
2. Check McDonald's McSaver meals and app deals, and Burger King's e-coupons, for that kind of meal.
3. Decide on pickup or delivery, counting the delivery fee.
4. For delivery on foodpanda, open foodpanda from ShopBack Singapore first.
5. Compare the final amount, then pay in the same session.
