- Mashable reported on May 24 that Arby’s is offering two Signature Angus Burgers and fries for $26 from May 24 through May 26. - Subway’s most specific term is a $6.99 any-footlong digital offer through May 31, though Subway’s own press release lists code 699FL. - May 31 is the next key date: Subway says the footlong offer runs through then at participating U.S. restaurants.
Arby’s and Subway are among the chains running Memorial Day weekend promotions as higher beef prices push some consumers toward limited-time fast-food deals. Mashable reported on May 24 that Arby’s is offering two Signature Angus Burgers and fries for $26 from May 24 through May 26, with terms applying. The same Mashable roundup said Subway is offering a $6.99 Footlong through May 31 and a 10% discount for military members on May 25 with valid identification. Subway’s own press materials confirm a monthlong $6.99 footlong offer, though the code listed there differs from the one in Mashable’s guide. ### Which chains are running the headline burger-and-sub deals this weekend? Arby’s was listed by Mashable on May 24 as offering two Signature Angus Burgers and fries for $26 from May 24 to May 26. Mashable included the offer in a broader Memorial Day 2026 roundup of restaurant discounts and said terms apply. Subway was listed in the same Mashable guide as running a $6.99 Footlong promotion through May 31. Mashable also said military members can receive 10% off on May 25 with a valid ID. ### What is verified directly from the chains? Subway said in an April 30 press release that customers can get “any and every footlong” for $6.99 from May 1 through May 31 by ordering on the Subway app or Subway.com at participating U.S. restaurants. (mashable.com) The company’s release said the code is 699FL, not FOOTLONG699. Subway’s release also said the offer applies to app and online orders only, excludes Footlong Snacks, cannot be combined with other offers, and is limited to one use per order, with taxes and additional fees applying. Cristina Wells, Subway’s senior vice president of U.S. marketing, said in the release: “People want the right mix of price, taste and quality when grabbing a quick meal.” (newsroom.subway.com) Arby’s official menu page currently shows burgers and fries among its menu categories and top items, but the company page surfaced in search results did not display the specific Memorial Day bundle terms. That leaves Mashable as the available source for the $26 holiday bundle detail. ### Why are these deals getting attention now? Mashable published its Memorial Day deals guide on May 24, one day before the federal holiday on May 25, 2026. (newsroom.subway.com) USA Today also reported that many chains and food-delivery services are offering Memorial Day promotions this weekend. Yahoo, citing U.S. Department of Agriculture data, reported that the average retail price of beef reached a record $9.64 per pound in April, about 13% higher than a year earlier, according to the briefing materials provided for this story. (arbys.com) That backdrop has made fixed-price burger and sandwich offers more noticeable heading into the holiday weekend. (mashable.com) ### What should customers check before ordering? Participating locations are a key condition for both chains’ offers. Subway said in its release that the $6.99 footlong deal is redeemable only at participating U.S. restaurants and only through digital ordering channels. (mashable.com) Promo-code details also merit a second look. Mashable’s guide cited FOOTLONG699, while Subway’s company release lists 699FL for the monthlong footlong promotion. Customers ordering on May 24 or later may need to verify the active code in the app or on Subway.com before checkout. That comparison is based on the two published sources and not on a separate statement from Subway reconciling the difference. (newsroom.subway.com) ### When do these offers end? May 26 is the cutoff Mashable listed for Arby’s two-burger-and-fries bundle. May 31 is the end date Subway gave for its $6.99 any-footlong promotion at participating U.S. restaurants, with the military discount in Mashable’s guide tied specifically to May 25 and valid ID.
