Back in 2017, Subway teamed up with the popular video game streaming service Twitch on a promotion called SUBtember. The promotion was so successful that it's back for its third annual run.

SUBtember is a month-long promotion that allows fans to support their favorite Twitch streamers through discounted subscriptions. From September 3rd through 24th, Subway is offering consumers "50 percent off new Tier 1 subscriptions made on a web browser or our desktop app." As a subscriber, fans will enjoy perks such as custom emotes, subscriber badges, ad-free viewing, exclusive content, and more. The sandwich chain is also taking things to the next level this year with bonus Bits like a limited-time sub sandwich Cheermote, gift subscriptions in various channels, and a dedicated [Subway Twitch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subway-national-sandwich-day) channel.
