McDonald’s is giving away free coffee this week. But you have to be a really good person to get one

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of McDonald’s McCafe coffee in America, McDonald’s is rolling out a unique “Pay It Forward” promotion, or rather, it’s a “McCafe It Forward” deal. On Wednesday, August 21, McDonald’s gave out 500 special cards at its restaurants to customers who are doing good things in their communities. If a customer winds up with a card, that customer can present it at McDonald’s and get a free small coffee anytime from Wednesday through Friday, August 23. After the customer uses the card, the customer is supposed to pass it on to someone else who is deserving of a free McDonald’s coffee. It could be a nice coworker, or the person behind you in line at McDonald’s. This effort is intended to create a chain-reaction of passing the cards along to people who deserve it.
