I could not get a coupon to print at all, no matter which printer I tried to use. My mom went to get her free sub and after hassle, they made her one which she said was had half the filling of the ones she normally gets there.

I have heard it was something corporate pushed but the franchises didn't want it, so they are rebelling against corporate... but the people who suffer are the people who will NEVER go back after such rude treatment!

I couldn't get it to print, either. So I print-screened the coupon, pasted it into paint and printed it that way.

Had no problems using it- the manager was super nice! (And didn't ID us!)
So nice DH got a ton of extra stuff we hadn't planned on (soup, cookies, etc) specifically because of how great our experience was with the manager.

You're right though. If it hadn't worked, I'd never go back. Ever.
Instead, we had a great experience and we'll probably be back soon!

All the Quiznos by us have shut down, so we drove farther to use it (Batavia, IL). We used it no problem, but had to show an ID. We purchased a regular drink and chips to go with it.

I'll tell you though - their prices are expensives. Almost $5.00 for a six inch! I can get a footlong at Subway for $5.00 so I won't be going back to Quiznos. Subway can heat up your sandwich too.

Tried to use my coupon yesterday at #546, Corona, California. There wasn't a sign on the outside but there was a small, handwritten sign saying they weren't taking the coupon that you could only see once you got to the front of the line. I asked if it was the manager's decision and the employee said "Nope, it was the big boss's" and then he laughed.

Needless to say we (party of 3 with 3 coupons) didn't eat there and I won't be visiting a Quizno's every again. I am embarrassed that I passed on the info about the free sub to my friends and family as the store I went to is the only one in my area.

I'm not sure Quizno's will be able to recover from this public relations fiasco.

I sent an email to Quiznos but don't expect to hear back since they probably got thousand, if not hundred of thousands of unhappy emails.

I also couldn't use mine. Tried 2 different stores and both said they were not accepting the coupon. Went to eat elsewhere.

I was also denied. They had a sign on the door of our local quiznos of all the coupons that they don't accept. There were about 4 of them including the free one. Honestly, I expected that because they are not a very friendly bunch in there anyway. At least the sign on the door saved me from having to walk into the place.We gladly got back in the car and drove across the street to Five Guys and paid to have the world's best hamburger and fries and friendly customer service!

I just wanted to bump this with an update. When they denied me using the free coupon, I emailed them to complain. Well, yesterday I received a letter of apology from Quiznos with a $5 gift card attached. When I showed it to my DH he told me to throw it out.
I had DH email a complaint at the same time that I did. Yet he received nothing. I'm really at a loss as to what to do. I don't want to give the stores that turned me away any business at all. Even if it is only from a gift card.

I also got the gift card and decided to use it up to the 5 dollars (which was hard there.. but possible) I do appreciate the gesture and glad they did something...

Got mine, too. Too little and too late.

I have no desire to eat there so I'll give it to DD.

Nothing for me yet. And of course since my DM and DSis didn't send an email I guess they'll be nothing for them. Don't know if I'll use it-I don't really want to give the local store any business.
