20 Ways to Stretch Your Dollar at Subway

Are you in the mood for a sandwich but want something a little more exciting than the PB&J you have at home?

Fortunately, Subway has you covered. As one of the country’s favorite fast-food chains, Subway has been serving up some of America’s favorite sandwiches for years, crafted to your specifications while you watch.

Subway has more than just sandwiches, however: you can also choose from a selection of wraps, soups, cookies, and more to build the meal of your dreams!

Whether you’re looking for something healthy, hearty, or anywhere in between, there’s something for everyone at Subway.

And do you know what else you can find at Subway? Amazing deals and savings that’ll make your food taste even better.

We’ve looked high and low to find the best savings available at Subway, so you can enjoy your favorite sandwich and more at the best possible price.

Read on for all of our tips!

1. Download the app to hear about the latest deals

Subway has a smartphone app, and there’s a section featuring the current Deals and Rewards available. These deals are only available in the app or online, so downloading it means scoring some major savings. One of the recent deals was a 50% off BOGO (Buy One, Get One) on Footlongs! 

2. Join Subway’s reward program and collect Subway “tokens” that add up to big savings!

Called Subway My Way, joining their reward program will accumulate tokens based on your purchases. Once you reach 200 tokens, you get $2 off your purchase!

Sometimes Subway will offer specials that will give you extra tokens, so keep an eye out for those to maximize your rewards.

You can save up your $2 off rewards and use several at once (up to 25), scoring you free food! 

AND – you’ll still earn tokens when you redeem your $2 rewards. You’ll earn on the amount not covered by your rewards! 

3. Earn “Surprise Rewards.”

Whenever you visit a Subway as a Rewards Member, you have a chance to earn “Surprise Rewards.” What exactly are these Surprise Rewards? It sounds like a “bonus” $2 off reward, but we’re not entirely sure.

Subway’s site doesn’t specify, but there are references to redeeming the surprise rewards, so we guess it’s a … surprise?

Either way, it most likely translates to free and discounted food, which we all love!  

4. Get something special for your next birthday

There are many restaurants to choose from, and Subway appreciates winning your business. As a thank-you for your patronage, Subway rewards you with a gift on your birthday. 

Subway doesn’t say specifically what your free birthday gift is, so you’ll have to see when your big day comes. Whatever it is, it will be delicious (and save you money)! 

5. Check out the bottom of your receipt

Subway values your feedback – they use to make your visit, their restaurants, food, and service even better. In exchange for your assistance, they’ll reward you with a FREE cookie or fountain drink if you complete a survey!

Look at your receipt and enter the code here. Give your feedback and enjoy your FREE cookie or fountain drink!

6. Give them your email address

When you give Subway your email address, they’ll send you special offers. One recent offer was good for a FREE 6-inch sub if you make two purchases.

And don’t forget that those purchases will accumulate tokens toward $2 off!

7. Check out your REAL inbox, too!

Subway uses both email and goes old-school – good old paper coupons! A trip to your mailbox might reveal a Subway flier with loads of great savings.

One recent mailing offered ANY 6-inch sub for $3.49, THREE footlong subs for $17.99, and more (prices may vary based on different circumstances). 

8. Grab a Subway gift card for lower than its value.

Several sites offer Subway gift cards for a lower price, giving you a discount.

For example, Raise recently offered Subway gift cards at 5% off their face value.

And they aren’t the only ones. Gift Card Wiki has a $30 gift card available for only $24.90. That a 17% discount!

A little googling will yield several sites that offer gift cards at a discount. If purchasing on those sites isn’t for you, check out Sam’s Club – they have $50 for $47.98. You’ll probably be able to find them at other clubs, too. Keep an eye out! 

9. Take advantage of Senior Citizen discounts

Many Subway restaurants will offer their Senior Citizen patrons a discount on their purchase. This is generally about 10%. Because all restaurants vary, call your local Subway beforehand to see if they offer this discount. 

10. See if you get free delivery!

Craving one of Subway’s delicious sandwiches but too exhausted to leave the house? You might be able to get it delivered for FREE!

Go to DoorDash, enter your address, and select Subway. There’s a chance your delivery fee could be zero, even if you don’t have a DashPass. 

Free delivery on your favorite food? It’s a beautiful thing. 

11. Follow them on social media to get a heads up on deals

Check out Subway’s Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter accounts. They’ll post about their current promotions, letting you know how to score the best deals on their great food. 

When you keep an eye on Subway’s social media posts, you’ll be among the first to know about their offers! 

12. Split a footlong with a friend

Why buy two six-inch subs when you can buy one footlong and split it? You might even get the Sandwich Artist to use different condiments on each half. If you and a friend have a craving for the same sandwich, this is a great way to save a little extra cash! 

13. Skip the “extras.”

If you’re like a lot of people, you probably have soda and chips (or something similar) already at home. Skip the “add-ons,” go for just the sandwich, and save yourself some extra cash by supplementing your meal with things you already have in your pantry or fridge. 

The same goes for the extra meat and cheese – those have an extra cost, so skip them if you’re trying to avoid paying extra. 

14. …except when it’s veggies and condiments!

Load up on the pickles and mayo! Extra condiments and veggies are free – just ask your Sandwich Artist and you can load up on some toppings free of charge.   

15. Swing by on National Cookie Day for a FREE cookie

Last year (2020), National Cookie Day was December 4th. Many places celebrated, but Subway took it the extra mile, extending National Cookie Day to a whole week! 

From December 4-11, Subway offered a Caramel Brownie Cookie FREE with any footlong sub purchase! Keep an eye out each December – we’d be surprised if they didn’t do it every year! 

16. Buy three cookies!

If you purchase your cookies in increments of three, you’ll get them cheaper per cookie than if you just purchased one.

The price will most likely vary depending on your local store, so check with them when you purchase. Most of us agree that three cookies are better than one anyway! 

17. Buy some of your grocery staples from your local Subway restaurant

Some people may be surprised to find that depending on your area, you can purchase Subway sandwich ingredients, soups, snacks, and more for pick up or delivery! 

Their site explains that since many of their dining areas are closed due to COVID-19, they’re offering groceries in the form of their menu ingredients. Depending on what you purchase, there’s a good chance to save some money while still enjoying some of your favorite Subway food! 

18. Take advantage of grocery specials

Take the savings even further by checking out their deals and promos on their grocery site! One recent offer gave customers $5 off any order of $50 or more and $7 off orders $70 or more! 

They also have weekly specials – for example, one recent weekly special offered 20% of milk and cheese items! 

You could stack these kinds of offers for even more savings – for example, buying enough of the discounted cheese and milk to qualify for the $5 off $50 or $7 off $70 offer saves you even more! 

19. Check out catering options!

If you’re buying for a party or other big group, check out their catering offers. As of this writing, Subway offered 10% off of catering purchases of $75 or more! This is an awesome way to enjoy Subway’s food with a group while still saving money! 

20. Check out Koopy offers!
