The Reason You Should Always Complete A Subway Receipt Survey

Have you ever been asked by an employee to complete a survey on the bottom of your receipt for a chance at some one-in-a-million prize? Too often, the awards are so unattainable that they don't provide enough incentive for customers to participate. They tend to be beneficial for the company, though, as they use the surveys for various reasons to track satisfaction levels from store to store. Per Survey Methods, these receipt surveys help companies judge the performance of specific employees, as well as monitor the negative responses to adjust their business models.

Per The Penny Hoarder, these surveys are really only worth your time if they offer sure awards instead of contests. Luckily, many businesses value your feedback enough to give you a small incentive. Some examples include Wendy's, which offers $2 off, IHop, where you can receive a free pancake stack, and Burger King, which gives you a free sandwich when a specific purchase is made. Subway is another fast food joint that makes it worth it, so if you've been recently, take a second before tossing your receipt.
