Top Subway Sandwich Menu Savings Hacks for the Subway Sandwich Chain

Whether you’re team turkey, ride or die for roast beef or chasing that cheesy chicken parm dream, Subway has something for every craving. I’ve rounded up 20 tasty hacks to help you remix your order, stretch your dollars and eat like a sandwich VIP.

  • Get protein-style by substituting the bread for lettuce wraps.
  • Order a "pepperoni pizza sub" on bread or flatbread by asking for marinara sauce, a few slices of pepperoni, and your choice of cheese, and then have them toast it! Add bacon, olives, spinach, or other veggies for a "supreme"!

  • Order your sandwich as a "salad bowl" with red wine vinaigrette over spinach for a healthier option.
  • Get a "chicken fajita" by ordering a chicken sandwich with southwest sauce and veggies.
  • Order a "pizza melt" by getting Italian bread with marinara, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese toasted.

Stretch Your Dollar Further…

Subway savings? Yes please. If you're ballin’ on a budget or just love a good deal, these tasty tips will help you load up your sub without emptying your wallet. From sneaky menu combos and sauce swaps that hit just right, I'm serving up hacks that’ll make your sandwich (and your bank account) feel extra satisfied.

1. Take Advantage of Promotions

Subway often has footlong sub deals or discounts, like the BOGO Footlong deal, on certain sandwiches/meals.

2. Join the Subway Rewards Program

Earn points that can go towards free food with purchases simply by joining Subway Rewards. Plus, you get your first 250 points just for signing up AND free chips on Fridays with any purchase.

4. Get the BOGO Footlong Deal

We are currently waiting on a New Subway BOGO coupon to get a free footlong sub when you buy a footlong sub. Until then, you can use coupon code BOGO6INCH to score a buy one-foot long get a 6-inch free. This Subway BOGO should work at most Subways on foot-long subs, but keep in mind that not all Subway coupons work at all locations. 

5. Save $1 By Upgrading to a Meal

If you get a sandwich and then buy chips and a drink separately, you end up paying more than you should. Instead, upgrade your sandwich to a "meal" for just $2.99 more and save $1+.

6. Split a Footlong Sub

Got a friend that likes the same kind of sandwich as you do? Great! Order a footlong, split it in half, and you each get to save a little money.

7. Get it "Deluxe" to Save on More Meat

If you’re getting a melt, double meat will cost you $1.50 for both sizes, but “Deluxe” style will only cost you $0.75 for both six-inch subs and footlongs.
