Just today I got Subway coupons in the mail and took one to my local Subway. It was for a classic footlong at $6.99. The problem was that the coupon did not work. The counter girl told me her register said the coupon had been used already so the sandwich cost me $14.29. As a senior I have thought about this all evening and finally called that store. I made it very plain that if it happens again they can keep the sandwich. I'm also going back to that store when the manager is there and telling him the same thing.

You also need to investigate Subway for stealing your money when you use the rewards program. When you use the $ off, they later take that money out of your account in a separate transaction. There is no way to contact anyone in charge of the franchises either.

It's a tatctic because some people will still pay full price, cause you already made the trip. i personally won't

Here's how you handle this Subway situation, order your Sandwich the way you want it, go to the register, pull out your coupon and if say they don't take the coupon, say okay. Fine, I don't want to Sandwich then, now they lost a sale and the sandwich, screw them.

Good to know that this is happening elsewhere. I'm in northern MS and the previous owners/managers of the only Subway in my town DID accept the coupons, both in person & online. The new owners/managers do NOT accept the paper coupons and up until last week was also accepting the coupons online. I haven't been able to order online with a coupon for almost 2 weeks now even using the correct coupon for my order. It now says something to the effect of "This location is not accepting this coupon. Please select another location." When I do that, the nearest Subway that accepts coupons is almost 20 miles away. I have been a regular customer at the location in my hometown for almost 2 years. The coupons got me in the door and I often ordered other items. Guess I won't be shopping Subway anymore, which is disappointing b/c I have Rewards on my account that I will not be able to use.

[dharmabliss]

so why do we get coupons in the mail when every single Subway I've been to does not accept them?

[JohnnyDouchbag-nryf]

F subway! I ain't paying full price for a shit product!

I’ve always had a love for subway since I was a kid. And I don’t even try coupons because it always ends up basically coming out to the same regardless if I do or don’t. I still remember the days of the 5$ footlong and now I pay practically $14 just for getting extra cheese, not meat, but extra cheese. But I love that Italian bmt so much that I can’t help myself sometimes. I’ve always been loyal to restaurants that provide that kind of consistency but $13-14 means I’m gonna go there less and less

I definitely see Subway going out of business. I think they (Subway) should be boycotted in Memphis. I live in Texas now and the Subways here or atleast the ones by where I live take the coupons. I'm going to ask today just to make sure. But I believe I've used coupons at both locations. This is just my opinion

[fidelca]

City of Ripon Subways don't accept coupon since pandemic. Ever since I started making my own sandwich

Stop eating at these places. They just keep going up in prices. Giving less. Support local family places if you can.

That's the same for the online app When you apply the coupon Code it says error. They hang a sign on the door that advertised A sale, but when you ask for it They say it only applies on line Then when you try to use it online, it's not accepted So why have the advertisement on your front store window?

[sandasturner]

And corporate wonders why they're losing customers. It's that same reason why I've only visited once since February 😈

I won't miss Subway one bit.

[aarond]

Covering the big stories! But I heard about this in a neighborhood group I am in today, a true scandal!

[remythemaltipoo]

Try calling any Subway store on the phone to see if they honor coupons. None of them will ever answer the phone. I don't know how they stay in business.

[TheREVIEWGUY-ipwm]

It's getting ridiculous they would not accept my coupons in Oklahoma, Kansas online or in store

[ejones]

my subway does not except coupons if i wal in. but if i order online the coupons work.

[peps]

Her tongue tripped and fell on the word thirteen

[doclady]

I just went to Subway 10 minutes ago to take advantage of their 699 ft long I was there for half an hour trying to order on the sub doesn't work

[JetHawk]

If I was a struggling subway owner I start accepting Dave and Buster tickets as payment.
