The "Subcard" was the traditional loyalty program for Subway restaurants, but in 2026, it has been almost entirely replaced by the Subway Rewards program. To get started, you no longer need a physical plastic card; instead, you simply download the Subway App on your smartphone and create an account. Once registered, you will receive a digital QR code that you scan at the register every time you make a purchase to earn "points" (often called "Tokens" or "Points" depending on the region). If you really prefer a physical card, some locations may still offer them upon request, which you can then "link" to your digital account via the Subway website. For 2026 users, the digital version is superior because it provides access to exclusive mobile-only deals, "Bonus Point" days, and the ability to order ahead for pickup. To maximize your rewards, ensure you enter your birthday in the profile to receive a free cookie or sub-anniversary treat each year.
