**UPDATE!** Quiznos has fixed their FAIL’d Coupon (finally)! So the below instructions do not work anymore, the most you will get is $1 off! The Story is still amusing though, enjoy!! **UPDATE**

Now some of you may not get this as it is a little geeky, but seriously, this is funnier than a midget hooker trying to reach the $20 you left her on the 5′ book shelf. So, Quiznos released a coupon:

The FAIL in this coupon is the coupons web address (URL). **UPDATE** Quiznos may have removed the coupon from their site **

http://quiznos.com/subsandwiches/Offers/BannerOffer.aspx?val=100.00&ed=12312010&hk

Why is that fail? Well, if you look closely, there is a part of the URL that says ‘val=100.00’ You can change that number to anything you WANT!! That’s right, they left their coupon open to be hacked.

For example, this link –

Will get you this coupon:

You can try it out for yourself. Just copy and paste the link into your browser and change the value of val=xxx.00

So last night for Dinner I took my Quiznos Coupon to attempt to get a free dinner, to see if this would work straight out.

I went into Quiznos and ordered the Beef/Bacon Bullet, and a Bistro Steak Sammie from their 2 for $5 promotion. While it was cooking I walked to the checkout register and was taken care of by the store manager. (I only assume he was a manager as there were 6 younger people working at this location, and he seemed to be telling them things they should be doing)

I hand the Manager my coupon, and he looks at it, and looks at it, and looks at it. In total he examines the coupon for a good 2-3 minutes. During this time two things happen. One, my food is done and ready to go. Two, the local police pull up and get in the line to order food. Now What I am doing isn’t necessarily illegal, but it is questionable. And I’ve read many horror stories involving Managers and local Police, so this could get interesting.

After thoroughly examining the coupon, the Manager barely looked at me to try to judge my character at all, he finally decided it was a good coupon. He did his magic on the register, gave me my food and my receipt, and I headed straight out of their with prize in hand.

Don’t believe me? BAM!:

BONUS HACK!!! If you look at that coupon URL closely, there is a part of it that says ‘ed=12312010’ That’s the expiration date. You can change that to what you want. For example, changing it to 12311776 will change the expiration date to December 31st 1776.

Stupid Quiznos.
