Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch? On National Sandwich Day, there will be freebies and discounts on America’s favorite reliable, handy lunchtime meal. The unofficial holiday lands on Friday, Nov. 3, and these national chains are celebrating by serving up some deals.

Potbelly

Order their Original sandwich online or through the app and get another one for free when you use the promo code BOGO. When you join Potbelly Perks, you can get a free Original sandwich after your first order of $5 or more.

McAlister’s Deli

Customers can enjoy two sandwiches for the price of one at participating McAlister’s locations. There are 555 McAlister’s locations across the country. Find your location.

Popeyes

Through Nov. 12, Popeyes customers can purchase a chicken sandwich combo and get a chicken sandwich for free. For the free sandwich, customers can choose from Popeyes’ Classic, Spicy or Blackened sandwiches or the New Spicy TRUFF sandwich; any of these sandwiches can also come with bacon or cheese add-on. The deal applies to pickup and delivery orders made through the app. 

Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop

You can get a free small sandwich when you order any sandwich of equal value through the restaurant’s CAPAddicts app. The chain, which has locations in 27 states, is also getting into the holiday spirit by offering sides of gravy and/or mashed potatoes for a limited time.

Schlotsky’s

Rewards members can get a medium sandwich for $5 through Nov. 5. Join Schlotsky’s Rewards through the app and redeem the Sandwich Day reward at checkout.

Use the code “Sandwich3” to get $3 off any sandwich at Milios, a sandwich shop with locations throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa.

Jimmy John’s

You earn a free sandwich after your first order through the chain’s Freaky Fast Rewards program. While that’s not exclusive to National Sandwich Day, those who are already rewards members can enjoy a dollar off all mobile orders on Friday.

Jersey Mike’s

Order through the Jersey Mike’s app on Friday and get free delivery on sub sandwiches. The MyMike’s Rewards program lets you redeem earned points for free subs.

Is a hot dog a sandwich? (Technically, yes.) The Chicago-style chain is offering free delivery on any sandwich — including hot dogs — through Nov. 5. To take advantage, customers should order online.

Subway

If you’re not a Subway MVP Rewards member, National Sandwich Day is the day to consider it. Subway will match your current point total from Jersey Mike’s, Quiznos, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s Chick-fil-A, Burger King, Which Wich, Lennys and Potbelly to their rewards program if you sign up on Friday. The deal starts at 9 a.m. and is available only for 24 hours. Some perks of their rewards program include birthday freebies, exclusive deals and $2 Subway Cash for every 400 points earned. (You get 10 points for every dollar spent, and extra points when you use the app or order online.)

Mr. Pickle’s Sandwich Shop

The sandwich chain with locations throughout California and Arizona has been celebrating National Sandwich Day all week long with double points for Pickle Points rewards members. On National Sandwich Day, the chain will offer “double the double points.” (That’s quadruple the points.) With the rewards program, every dollar spent earns you one point. Customers can get a free sandwich or salad when they reach 150 points, a free half sandwich with 80 points, free chips and a fountain drink with 75 points, a free deli salad with 50 points or a free fountain drink with 25 points. ​​
