There is an expectation McDonald's will address charging loyal app users higher prices.
Users have taken to complain on social networking site Reddit, after pointing out a $3 difference between what app users and casual customers are charged.
McDonald's says the prices may be different to entice some customers to return to the app.

He says companies want people to engage with it and this personalisation of prices is counterintuitive.
