Subway promises Sub Club members a birthday surprise, but Subway doesn’t name it. Sub Club is open to adults 18 and older who live in the United States, and your birthday has to be saved in your profile.
What Subway Is
Subway is a sandwich chain where subs are built to order along a counter, in six-inch or footlong sizes. It also sells wraps, salads and cookies. Sub Club is its rewards program.
How To Get The Subway Birthday Deal
Join Sub Club and make sure your birthday is saved in your Sub Club profile. Subway’s rewards page says, “Enjoy a tasty birthday surprise on us!” There’s no item, amount or window given, so open your account around your birthday to see what’s waiting.
What The Surprise Is
Subway doesn’t say. The rewards page calls it a birthday surprise, and its terms don’t describe it. Count it as a bonus when you decide whether Sub Club is worth joining, and judge the program on the points and coupons instead.
Points And Coupons
You can join Sub Club through Subway’s website, and you earn points on eligible items at a participating Subway restaurant. Points expire after six months if your account has no activity in that stretch. Free Footlong Coupons expire on the date printed on the coupon, so redeem them before it passes.
Joining Before Your Birthday
Because Subway doesn’t say how far ahead your birthday has to be on file, add it when you join rather than the week before.
Eligibility and Cost
You need to be 18 or older and a legal resident of the United States. Subway’s terms say Sub Club isn’t meant for anyone under 18. Subway doesn’t say whether you need to buy something before the birthday surprise, or whether it works in the app, online or only at the counter, so check your account around your birthday.
