About McDonald's Charges
McDonald's Corporation operates the world's largest fast-food restaurant chain. Charges appear on your statement as "MCDONALDS," "MCD," "MCDONALD'S MOBILE," or a specific restaurant location number. Common charges include in-store purchases, McDonald's app orders, McDelivery orders (through the app or third parties like UberEats/DoorDash), mobile order & pay, and McDonald's gift card purchases.
Unexpected charges may come from mobile orders placed accidentally, tip amounts added to delivery orders, or pending authorizations that settled at a different amount. McDonald's app promotions may also result in charges you didn't expect if the deal wasn't applied correctly.

McDonald's refund policy varies by how you ordered:
- In-store orders: Speak with the manager for an immediate refund or replacement
- Mobile orders: Contact McDonald's through the app within 24 hours for order issues
- McDelivery: Report issues through the delivery platform (UberEats, DoorDash) for refund
