Thanks Subway, I’m going to get fat now!
This post was published 4 years 5 months 25 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.I couldn’t believe my ears when the Subway sandwich dude said I couldn’t use my frequent buyers card [Sub Club card]. It was a shell shock. Hearing those words “I’m sorry but we don’t accept Sub Club points anymore” made my world fall apart! I knew right then and there my diet, my physical appearance, my physique that I used to thank Jared for… was all going down the toilet! Ok just kidding. The foot long meatball sub with extra cheese, Sun Chips, and a Pepsi is heaven though.
It’s true though. Subway has closed it’s Sub Club sandwich points system. The reason? Fraud:
In a world of home laser printers and multimedia PCs, counterfeiting has become increasingly easy. With materials available at any office supply store, those with a cursory knowledge of photo-editing software can duplicate the business-card-size rewards cards once punched at Cold Stone Creamery or the stamps once given out at Subway sandwich shops.
Someone’s always out to ruin it for everyone else. How come I never thought about making my own stamps?
i remember showing my card full of stamps a few times and just quickly putting it away and the smart fellows at subway didn’t notice (or just didn’t care)
I don’t think coupons will be around much longer, either.
The local Subway said they were going to be moving to a plastic card based system. Something more difficult to scam.
Why now? When I worked at Subway like 13 years ago this was a problem… FYI – IMHO the best sub ever made is an Italian BMT/Cold Cut Combo (both sets of meat) with a single scoop of tuna fish (for a 12 inch) and four slices of bacon. Top however you want after that. Don’t tell my boss.
The local one was like we won’t take nor do we have the stamps. But if you say “I forgot my card” or say you don’t have one, now and then you’ll be offered stamps.
