Subway is bringing back one of its most popular deals — but there’s a catch. On Friday, Subway announced that they will begin selling their footlong sandwiches for $6.99 starting August 26th. It’s a major discount on the fan-favorite menu item, which can cost as much as $14 in some locations according to CNN. However, the deal does come with a catch: it’s available only via the Subway app or website using the code 699FL and it is only available for a limited time: the deal ends September 8th.

The $6.99 footlong deal can be used on any footlong sub on the Subway menu, be it one of the brand’s 22 subs in the Subway Series or a custom creation. In a statement, Subway North America president Doug Fry said the deal “means our guests can get the sandwiches they crave at a great value.”
“Today’s diner is stretched more than ever, and too often that means a tradeoff on quality, variety or flavor to find an affordable meal,” Fry said. “At Subway, our definition of value is a mix of delicious options at the right price without compromising quality. Our menu is full of footlongs for every budget, and this new deal means our guests can get the sandwiches they crave at a great value.”
