Fast food prices have risen sharply, but a good Subway meal is still worth it. There are ways to get Subway without spending money.

Earn Subway TodayGet Exclusive Discounts from the App
The Subway app gives you access to nationwide deals you can stack with gift card earnings. It's a more convenient way to order and a reliable source of ongoing discounts.
A common deal is any Footlong for a reduced price, significantly less than the regular cost. The original $10.00 off first order promotion has since been phased out.
Signing up also gets you a free cookie on your birthday and free chips with every Friday purchase.
The app includes a built-in reward system that lets you earn points as you spend, redeemable for Subway credit.
The returns are modest. You earn 10 points per dollar spent, and 400 points converts to a small amount of Subway credit — meaning a sub of the day meal requires around 1,400 points and significant prior spending.
The loyalty program isn't generous, but since the app is worth using for its discounts anyway, collecting points in the background costs nothing extra.

Other Subway Discounts To Use
Eligibility for these discounts depends on your local franchise. Not every location participates.
- Seniors: Most Subway locations offer a 10% discount for customers over 60. Ask in store to confirm.
- Veterans: Some locations offer a 10% discount for veterans, and a number give out free six-inch subs on Veterans Day (November 11) each year.
- Students: Subway doesn't run a flat year-round student discount, but occasional one-off deals appear. Student Beans keeps an updated list of current Subway offers.
Because each location is run by an independent franchise owner, your nearest Subway may not offer any of the above.
