Perhaps I'm missing something here - but isn't this guy actually selling 5 stamps for £100. So presumably he didn't need to steal a roll - except possibly for the sake of the photo! Claiming that you get the rest when you use the vouchers in subway. Nice money maker if you ask me!

not that it makes any difference but they are offering 5000 stamps on a sealed roll. they mention 5 cards, these are the things you stick some stickers to, staff hand them out in the shops for free.

mind you, it is obviously stolen goods and as such ebay is not allowed to sell them.

AFAIK they are going to start a swipe-card system which will work in essentially the same way.

Bet you'll find some of those will appear on ebay soon too.

Anyone who doesn't like subways is mad!

Meatball Marinara - mmmm.

Jalepenos!

This offer is only between 4 and 10 I think until the end of the world cup. Still, a footlong sandwich and medium drink for £4ish isn't too bad.

They withdrew the stamps system from Lancaster subway briefly saying it was bring replaced by the swipe system .... it never came and they got stamps again. I know it will be coming but it looks like it will be a while.

Regardless they will continue to accept the stamps when the swipe system is in - just not issue anymore stamps..... This is what I have been told.

I am seriously tempted to buy a roll (of stamps) ... thats like 30p lunchs for like 1-2 years.

This is a national descision for all UK outlets. The notices in stores clearly state the system ends on the 30th June and stamps will not be accepted after this date, so I wouldnt chance it buying stamps.

Have Subway actually said the system is being replaced with swipe cards? In the US it was, but not heard anything to that effect for the UK...

Ive eaten subway all over the world and they are really good, collected stamps and eated for the price of a drink it was a good way to save money especially when buying for others. I like to try all the different things on offer. Teriaki chicken, meatballs, club and the melt are my faves. different bread each time. and they are miles better than macyDs I cant wait for the subway to open near the reebok stadium better food for the football.

There are good and bad subways just like all the other franchise fast food places. As for the stamps it was open to fraud the new system of the swipe cards staff will just fill a card with those sales that no one has a card then sell it when it is valuble.

Oh I didnt know that .... I did the BOGOFF deal today and didnt get stamps ... didnt notice any signs anywhere. Perhaps some are a little slow at rolling the signs out.

Yes a member of staff mentioned the swipe system.

I bought a Meatball Marinara for my lunch on the Deal of the Day. I must say I was disappointed. The bread I chose, (it had bits in) didn't hold together and the sandwich kept falling apart, lettuce and sauce everwhere. It was a very messy experience. The taste was fine, it's just not great being covered in tomato sauce when you're dealing with paperwork.

Depending on how the system is run, swipe cards can be reprogrammed...........

sounds like they put too much meat ball sauce in.

that was my favourite until i tried the chicken and bacon ranch with sweet onion sauce, lettuce, tomato and mayo. delicious.
