Subway Gift Cards Now Available At National Retailers

QSR Magazine:

Subway gift cards are now available at Wal-Mart, CVS, Rite Aid, the Army-Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) to authorized patrons only, Fifth Third Bank, Barnes & Noble College Bookstores, Long’s Drugs, Kerr Drug, H-E-B Grocery, Winn-Dixie, Hastings, Schnuck Markets, and Brookshire Brothers in the U.S. and in Canada at American Greetings, Glentel, Pharmacy 1 and Shoppers Drug Mart. Additional launches in the coming months will include Wal-Mart, Jean Coutu, and Familiprix in Canada.

The agreement with the retailers was brokered on behalf of SUBWAY restaurant franchisees by its Independent Purchasing Cooperative (IPC). The cards are available at retailers through a distribution agreement with InComm, the largest provider of third-party gift cards and prepaid products.

‘We have also heard from some people who want to use the Subway Card as a business tool by including their business information on the card for distribution,’ said Ned Daley, marketing programs specialist for the restaurant chain.
