Are Subway Drinks Refillable? (SAVE Money!)

Most of Subway’s outlets offer free refills on drinks. This policy extends to its fountain drinks and iced tea. 

However, you can only get free refills on the same visit of your purchase. Also, you need to ask for a refill before you’ve finished your current glass.

Free refills are also applicable to water. All one has to do is pay for the cup, and they can fill it up as often as they wish. 

The reason Subway and other such chains can afford it is that the cost of refill is minor. They usually cover this cost by the profit they make off of the other items on the menu. 

Let’s look at some aspects of Subway’s refills policy, the cost, and what drinks offer. 

How To Get Refills At Subway? 

To get a free refill at a Subway, all you got to do is purchase a fountain drink or an iced tea. One can get as many refills as they want during the same visit. 

Free refills are quite a blessing for Subway’s customers. I can safely say that their sandwiches are delicious, and being able to top up your iced tea is a massive bonus. 

This free refill policy also extends to water. So, that’s a pretty convenient way to stay hydrated. 

It’s always good to check with your local Subway outlet on how to get free refills. Some places may require you to ask for a refill before you’ve finished your current serving of the drink. 

Also, free refills are available on the same visit. For example, you can’t dine at Subway today and come back tomorrow with the bill to get a free drink. 

You also need to keep in mind that not all drinks are refillable. Fanta orange and Root beer float are the two notable exceptions, as you cannot get refills on those two. 

What Kind Of Drinks Does Subway Offer? 

Subway offers a variety of drinks, both hot and cold. They range from carbonated drinks such as Coke and Sprite to bottled beverages such as milk and Gatorade. 

The three main categories when it comes to Subway beverages are fountain drinks, bottled drinks, and hot drinks.

All you got to do is bring your cup to the counter and ask for a free refill.

Is Water Free At Subway? 

Technically, water is not free at Subway as they charge for the cup. However, there’s a way around it; if a person brings their own cup, many outlets allow them to fill it with water for free. 

The reason why cups are not accessible at Subway is theft. People would often buy a cup, but instead of filling it with water, they’d use it for other beverages.

To prevent this, Subway charges for its cups. Some outlets may give out a free courtesy cup, but that’s the smallest one. 

A person who wants a big one will have to pay up. Subway offers cups in the 20, 30, and 40 oz variants, which are chargeable. 

You can purchase these cups and then get free refills as the water itself is free, and so is the ice. 

Subway also sells bottled water which does not cost more than a 40 oz cup of fountain drink, which is 2.19 dollars.
