Given this, why do any store owners allow the coupon and take the financial loss? Does that mean those stores accepting the BOGO are making enough profit they decide they can afford the loss? Demanding that franchise stores take losses seems weird.
found this little gem on reddit:

"So I walked into 14 subway restaurants with their coupons. Two of them as far as 100 miles away from where I live. I could have obsessively done more stores, but this isn't my full time job and I did it opportunistically anytime I spotted a subway until the validity date on the coupons. None of the outlets accepted the coupons. They refused politely.

In New Jersey, most of the franchise owners are Indian and being Indian myself, it wasn't difficult to strike up a conversation and ask them what the deal with these coupons was. Some owners who I spoke to told me that corporate wouldn't stop spamming people with these coupons and that the franchise outlets are not compensated for "participating" in the coupon nonsense. So naturally, no one participates, because they'll take the losses (selling 3, footlong sandwiches for $17). So it's optional. Why does subway send these out then? Turns out it's the store footfall. People walk in to the store and when they try to use the coupon, they'll find out that the store does not accept it. I asked the guy if anyone just walks away after finding out that the coupons are useless? Three people told me that a large number of people would still end up buying a sandwich, (paying ful price, without the coupon) since they are already in the store.

This is a scam. And a scam subway can comfortably get away with since they put in "offer available in participating stores". Instead of being honest and working things out with their franchisees and customers, they have resorted to slimy tactics. Subway is one chain I'd love to watch go down like a pile of old rocks."

Used a coupon couple of days ago. Card was charged I thought I'm good. Turns out when I went to the store to pickup I saw order was canceled. And guy working there said it's cancelled by computer. Don't know what that means. Point is. Stop wasting your time.

Fortunately I got my refund. I also saw some stories posted on Reddit when people have hard time getting back their refunds.

Tried the code, it only works on regular original Subway subs... It does not work on the more expensive/fancy new Subway-series subs.....

You're going to become very lost then with inflation.

This is what happens when Corp runs the franchise stores into the ground, good for the individual owners for not allowing for that, bad for me as the customer because I want cheap food for the kids.

You got it backwards. Subway corporate is not scamming anyone. The franchise owners are smart enough to know that many of want to use the coupon will buy at full price anyways so they don't accept it. They make money even at $5/FL. But they make a lot more money at $10/FL. If they make a $1 at $5, they make $6 at $10. As long as more than 1/6 buy anyways at full price they are better off not accepting the coupon.

Food cost is not the only cost that franchisees have to pay. Wages have doubled, rents have skyrocketed along with utility bills. IMO Subway footlong probably costs twice as much as Chipotle bowl to make and sells for less than a Chipotle bowl at full price. Yet noone complains of prices at Chipotle

My first time at Subway since the $5 footlong days years ago. I was bored and tried it at a Subway nearby, which is across the street from a college. Ordered the Tuna on the App for pick up, which cost $10.99 now. Selected extra on lettuce, tomato, and a bunch of vegetables and to my surprise they turned out very well packed.

5, 5 dollar, 5 dollar footlongs...

Varys depending on location, like my local subway. Most coupons don't work
