This is the most-searched question about the rewards program, so here it is directly before anything else:
| Points Needed | What You Get Free |
|---|---|
| 48 points | Free Mini sub or Kids Meal |
| 72 points | Free Regular sub, wrap, or sub bowl |
| 144 points | Free Giant sub |
| 6 points | Free side item (chips, cookie, or brownie) |
| 8 points | Free drink |
Points apply to the lowest-priced qualifying item in your order, not the most expensive one. And there's a hard cap of 144 points redeemable per transaction, you can't stack multiple free items in one order by redeeming a larger balance. If you're ordering a cold sub or one of the hot cheesesteak options, the same redemption rules apply across both menus.
Here's exactly how many Shore Points every item earns, based on the official program terms:
| Item | Points Earned |
|---|---|
| Mini Sub or Kids Meal | 4 points |
| Regular Sub, Wrap, or Bowl | 6 points |
| Giant Sub | 12 points |
| Sides (chips, cookie, brownie) | 1 point each |
| Drinks, Relish Jar | 2 points each |
| Breakfast Sandwich | 4 points |
Ordering Giant subs earns points roughly twice as fast as Regular subs, which matters if you're trying to reach a free item sooner. If you're feeding a group and considering a catering order, those orders earn Shore Points too, just confirm with your store that the order runs through your MyMike's account rather than as a separate corporate account.
Once you have enough points, redeeming them is straightforward, but a few mechanics are worth understanding before your first redemption so nothing surprises you at checkout.
The lowest-price rule in practice: if you order a Giant sub and a Regular sub and redeem 144 points, the free item will be applied to whichever costs less at that specific location. Since Giant subs cost more than Regulars, your 144 points would cover the Giant, but only because it's the highest redemption tier. At lower redemption levels, the math works against expensive add-ons.
The 144-point per-transaction cap: this is the single most misunderstood rule in the program. You cannot redeem 288 points for two free Giant subs in one order. Each transaction is capped at 144 points regardless of your balance. Split large orders across two transactions if you want to double-redeem.
Points deducted on refunds: if you cancel or get a refund on an order, the points earned on that transaction are removed from your balance. This is standard across most restaurant loyalty programs but worth knowing if you order ahead frequently.
Yes, but only if you order through the official Jersey Mike's delivery channel (the app or the website). Placing a delivery order through DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub does not earn Shore Points since those orders run through the third-party platform's system rather than your MyMike's account. This is one of the real advantages of ordering direct rather than through a delivery marketplace, you get the points plus avoid the extra service fee those platforms add on top.
Jersey Mike's has run a promotion through its MyMike's program letting members convert Shore Points into Ticketmaster Ticket Cash: 50 Shore Points = $10 in Ticket Cash, redeemable toward event tickets on Ticketmaster. The cap has been set at 1,000 points per year, giving a maximum of $200 in Ticket Cash annually.
This isn't a permanent, always-on feature. It has been offered as a limited-time or seasonal promotion rather than a standing redemption option, so it may not be available at the time you're reading this. Check the Deals tab in the Jersey Mike's app to see if it's currently active before banking points toward it.
Shore Points and the birthday reward are separate systems that run in parallel, not the same thing counted differently. Shore Points accumulate from every purchase and redeem on your schedule. The birthday reward is a one-time-per-year bonus of 72 Shore Points deposited automatically around your birthday, provided you made a qualifying purchase in the prior 12 months.
The birthday reward adds to your Shore Points balance, it doesn't bypass the redemption rules above. For the full setup process and what counts as a qualifying purchase for the birthday reward, see our Coupons & Deals guide, which covers sign-up and the birthday trigger in detail.
One thing both systems share: neither of them requires a gift card and neither issues one. Gift cards are a separate way to pay and earn points at the same time, covered on our gift card page.
