Subway doesn’t even accept current coupons in my area! I think this is false advertising!
Restaurant offers vary by location more often than not. Sorry to hear they don’t accept coupons in your area!
You don’t get a free Smashburger by simply downloading and installing the app. You have to earn the free Smashburger through qualified purchases. This is not a promotion of any sort.
Darn. Seems like they changed the promo now. Thank you for the headsup Tony! I’ll update the post.
