Free cookie with $10 Subway card

Buy a $10 gift card at Subway and get a free cookie. By offering this deal, Subway joins the ranks of retailers offering special perks and bonuses to encourage folks to plunk down cash and buy gift cards.

WalletPop readers shared the bonuses they spotted at Barnes & Noble, Outback Steakhouse, Red Robin, Sports Authority and the Cheesecake Factory. Earlier I blogged about gift card bonuses at CVS, the Container Store and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

Caveats: it's unclear when the Subway promotion ends, but I'm guessing it'll be over after Christmas.

Thanks, Tina!
