Both sandwiches are already available at participating Quiznos locations, but members of the chain’s “Toasty Points” program will be able to get an 8″ lobster sub for $5 from Feb. 14-20. The program is free to join, and members can upload their Quiznos receipts to get future freebies at the restaurant.
