McDonalds has claimed the slogan Im lovin it for more than a decade, and now its showing what that lovin is.

Monday, the fast food establishment launched their Pay With Lovin campaign, which gives select customers a chance to pay for their meal in compliments, a phone call to a loved one, a fist bump or other forms of lovin, according to a news release.

After customers have ordered food and presented payment, the Guest Service Manager or the Lovin Lead will inform them of their opportunity to pay with lovin, and they can choose to pay with money or the alternative.

Customers have until Valentines Day to take advantage of this deal, which will be available at participating McDonalds restaurants at predetermined, randomized times from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Drive-Thru is not included in the campaign.

McDonalds is in a unique position to bring a little more lovin to our customers, Deborah Wahl, chief marketing officer for McDonalds USA, said in the news release. Were on a journey to change the relationship and conversation and Pay with Lovin is a direct way for us to engage with our customers. We believe that a little more Lovin can change a lot.
