I'm just letting you know as someone who formerly owned and operated a Subway, most of those deals that subway gives are barely breakeven, and sometimes the store even loses money. The stores that do make money are the ones that usually hire people, usually illegals (off the books) or teenagers and do it by underpaying their employees. And most of the actual profit is made from chips, cookies, and drinks. And also Subway corp does not reimburse store owners for those coupons. Those contracts that Subway offers the franchise owners are also extremely awful; John Oliver from lastweektonight does a pretty good video breaking it down if you're interested. Granted the store that I ran, was in low-mid income area, but rev average around 400,000-425,000, and after paying myself (i was barely paying myself a living wage), the store only had made around 3-4 percent margin. I could have made a-lot more by underpaying my employees but that's not really my style of business ownership. Eventually I ended up selling the store because it was getting to a point where my margins kept dropping and the rent kept increasing faster than inflation.
Has anyone been able to successfully order off the subway website? Page always seems slow & buggy
Where's the five dollar foot long days?!

For everyone who hasn't eaten subway in a long time, IMHO the meat and sandwich offerings are much better now than the $5 days. They even slice meat in the stores now.
They haven't updated my reward points even after I ordered it from online account and submitted receipt 2 more times. Their system is broken and terrible.
You guys realize inflation exists right lol. 7 dollars isn't even that bad considering normally a footlong ( accounting for inflation it's actually almost the same price) is around 12-15 dollars nowadays. If you wages aren't keeping up with the time sounds like you need have a chat with your employer.

definitely order through the app. The part that sucks is each store can decide they don't want to participate. The sucky owner in Ripon,WI won't honor those codes so we have to go 10 miles a town over when they have these deals.
..if we're already going there that is

At last, almost what Subway is actually worth.
We ordered a couple times in the past few months from different stores, subs had little meat on them. If You pay retail for Subway you're crazy.

I used the 2 for 13 deal recently via the subway app: 2 of the mega turkey subs or whatever wild name it has.
