E: 30th April Subway Scrabble

ampattenden

Subway have just launched a new game where everytime you buy a drink, it has two little peel-off panels with a mix of instant win prizes (eg a free cookie) and Scrabble letters which you can use to build up words on their online (http://www.playsubwayscrabble.com) and postal game. When you complete a word on the board, you win a prize such as £1000 in lastmintue.com vouchers. This may seem like potentially wasting huge money, except that most of the letters are already provided and you only have to fill in the odd one, e.g. of the word "flights", you only have to get an F and a G to win £500 of lastminute.com vouchers. Result! For example, I got a free cookie and an F on my first go.

But while this seems like a fun an easy game, it's not very Money-saving to buy food/drinks at Subway all the time is it? It got me thinking that we could play Subway at their own game by setting up a letter-swapping club (you have to have evidence of the letter you can't just put in a code), or if people don't care they could just donate (the receiver could send them a SAE or something). Or it could even extend to a voucher swapping club where people swap any kind of vouchers!

What does anybody think?

I like these kind of things- but sometimes (most times) it is hard to make words, as some of the letters are very rare....

!!!! called in one last night on way to free cinema preview ~ didn't bother to keep letters, as I knew I don't go very often.

How do you get your unique code?? I have not got one yet.

i just read you have to keep the letters to prove you are a valid winner so no point getting letters of anyone!

Hey sorry I didn't know about the swapping rule. I suppose it's cos people might start having disputes? Anyway glad people like the idea of the comp. I'm gonna try and do the no purchase play with prepaid junk mail envelopes. I tested them by posting myself a letter. :rotfl:

You can always send an sae and they will send you a card. The price of two stamps is cheaper than buying a drink. But bear in mind that there will be very few winning cards about.
