As some might have noticed, Subway just came out with a new Point system. Doing some quick back-of-the-napkin math:
| Number of Points | Item | Face Value | $ /point |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 1 Cookie | $0.49 | $0.049 |
| 15 | 1 Bag of Chips | $0.99 | $0.066 |
| 20 | 21 oz. Drink | $1.39 | $0.0695 |
| 35 | Mini Sub | $2.69 | $0.07686 |
| 50 | Regular 6" Sub or Wrap | $3.69 | $0.0738 |
| 75 | Regular Footlong Sub or Salad | $5.89 | $0.0785 |
So, even taking a cheep Ham sub, it is better to save up for the footlong. Especially if you want to go all the way and get a fancy footlong!
Their old "Buy 12 get 1 free", would have converted to 60 points for a Footlong, and 36 points for a 6" (assuming 5 points / footlong, and 3 points / 6"). So the Footlongs got a bit more expensive, but still almost comparable to the old system.
You may need to redeem any points you have left by mid-Feb. Local (Seattle) stores are saying the card is being discontinued with their latest "$2.99 subs" (six inch) ad campaign and such.
If only they could be convinced to include as much veggies as shown in the pictures....
