FirehouseListens.com is where Firehouse Subs customers go to complete the official receipt survey. Grab your receipt, head to the site (or scan the QR code on it), plug in the validation code and purchase amount, work through the short questionnaire, and leave your contact details if you want to be entered into that month’s $500 sweepstakes drawing. Most people are done in under five minutes, and receipts usually stay valid for the survey only a few days after purchase — so don’t let it sit too long.
Firehouse Restaurant Group, Inc. owns and operates this survey, with a third-party firm (SMG) handling the technical side. It’s a real, brand-run feedback tool rather than a giveaway trick, though there are a handful of rules worth understanding before you dive in.
What FirehouseListens.com Actually Is
Think of it as a direct feedback line between you and Firehouse Subs corporate. After you check out, your printed receipt carries a short invitation code. Take that code to FirehouseListens.com, answer a handful of questions about your visit — food, order accuracy, cleanliness, staff — and you’ve given the company a data point it uses to track how individual stores are performing.
As a bonus, finishing the survey also puts you in the running for that month’s sweepstakes prize, which is handled as a separate process from the actual feedback questions.
Two clarifications that keep coming up:
- This isn’t Firehouse Rewards. Firehouse Rewards is the standing loyalty app where you build up points across every visit. FirehouseListens is triggered by a single receipt and doesn’t touch your points balance either way.
- Not every receipt promises the same reward. Some printed offers include a coupon for a future visit on top of the sweepstakes entry; others are sweepstakes-only. What’s on your receipt is what applies to you.
How the Survey Works, Start to Finish
| Order | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Buy something at a participating Firehouse Subs and hang onto the receipt. |
| 2 | Find the survey block near the bottom of the receipt — it shows a web address, store number, and validation code. |
| 3 | Open FirehouseListens.com in a browser, or scan the printed QR code. |
| 4 | Pick English or Spanish. |
| 5 | Type in the validation code and total purchase amount, matching the receipt exactly. |
| 6 | Go through the questions about your visit as honestly as you can. |
| 7 | Add your name and contact info if you’d like to be entered in the monthly drawing. |
| 8 | Submit, and hold onto any confirmation or coupon code that appears. |
Information to Have Ready
Keep your receipt in front of you before starting — the form won’t move forward without these details:
- The validation code from the receipt
- Your store’s location number
- The date and time you visited
- The total dollar amount spent
Hang onto the physical receipt after submitting, too. Some locations want it presented in person to redeem a coupon offer.
Who Can Take the Survey and Enter the Drawing
Because promotional terms shift over time, always defer to what’s printed on your receipt or posted at the live survey site over any single blog post — including this one. Generally speaking, though, these terms have applied:
- Where you live: Legal residents of the United States (D.C. included); some periods have also allowed Canadian residents outside Quebec.
- How old you need to be: Commonly 16 or older, though certain rules versions list 18+ — confirm against your specific receipt.
- Receipt needed for the survey itself: Yes, a valid receipt with the invitation printed on it is required to complete the questionnaire.
- Receipt needed for the sweepstakes: No — a mail-in option exists that skips the purchase requirement entirely.
- Entry cap: One entry per person, per household, per calendar month, no matter how many receipts you’re holding.
- Who’s excluded: Firehouse employees, franchise operators, and their immediate families can’t win.
Breaking Down the $500 Sweepstakes
Submitting the survey with your contact details automatically drops you into that month’s drawing, run separately from Firehouse’s day-to-day loyalty program. Pulling from the sponsor’s official rules for the “Customer Survey” Sweepstakes:
- Winners receive a $500 prize check per month.
- The rules cite a $6,000 total prize pool for the sweepstakes period — consistent with 12 monthly winners.
- Your odds are tied to however many valid entries came in during that specific month; entries reset and don’t roll forward.
- Selected winners are reached by phone, email, or mail and generally need to confirm eligibility within a handful of business days to claim the prize.
- If a Canadian entrant wins, Canadian sweepstakes law requires them to correctly solve a math skill-testing question first.
Entering Without Buying Anything
U.S. law typically bars sweepstakes from requiring a purchase, so there’s a mail-in path built into the official rules:
- On a plain 3″ x 5″ card, hand-print your full name, mailing address, both a day and evening phone number, and your age.
- Seal it in a standard #10 envelope addressed to: Firehouse “Customer Survey” Sweepstakes, PO Box 428, Macedon, NY 14502-0428.
- Limit is the same as online entries — one per person, household, and month.
It’s a slower path than the website, but it’s the official no-purchase route if a receipt isn’t available to you.
The Story Behind the Survey
Firehouse Subs got its start in 1994 in Jacksonville, Florida, opened by brothers Chris and Robin Sorensen, both former firefighters. That background shows up everywhere in the brand — from the firehouse decor in every location to the company’s ongoing support of the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, which has directed funding toward equipment and resources for first responders across the country.
The customer survey fits into that same identity: a straightforward way for the company to hear directly from guests and keep an eye on consistency across its franchise locations, similar to what most national quick-service chains run in some form.
When the Survey Doesn’t Cooperate
Validation code gets rejected. Re-enter it slowly, watching for any leading zeros or characters that look similar (0 vs O, 1 vs I). Codes are also time-sensitive, so a code that’s a week or more old may simply be expired.
Page hangs or won’t finish loading. Switch networks (Wi-Fi to cellular, or the reverse) or try a different browser. Third-party survey platforms occasionally have short outages — if it’s still down after a few minutes, try again shortly before your code’s deadline passes.
No coupon appeared after finishing. Not every promotional cycle attaches a coupon to survey completion — some are strictly sweepstakes-entry periods. Check what your particular receipt actually promised rather than assuming a technical error.
Unsure if a second entry counted. It won’t add a second sweepstakes entry in the same month regardless of how many times you complete the survey, per the stated one-entry limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the FirehouseListens survey a real Firehouse Subs program? Yes — it’s the company’s official feedback survey, run on its behalf by a licensed administrator. Stick to the URL or QR code from your own receipt rather than links from texts or emails you didn’t request, since imitation survey pages do exist for many restaurant chains.
Do I have to buy something to take part? A receipt is required to fill out the actual survey. To enter the linked sweepstakes without buying anything, use the mail-in card method spelled out in the official rules.
How much time do I have to use my receipt code? It varies by receipt, but codes are usually only valid for a short window — often just a few days post-purchase. The exact deadline is printed on your receipt.
What do I actually get for finishing the survey? Every valid, completed survey earns one sweepstakes entry for a shot at the $500 monthly prize. Some receipts pair that with a separate coupon offer, depending on the promotion running.
Can I complete multiple surveys if I have multiple receipts? You can complete a survey for each receipt you have, but the sweepstakes rules still cap you at one entry per person, per household, per month.
Does the survey come in Spanish? Yes, you can select Spanish or English right at the start of the survey.
What should I do if I’ve misplaced my receipt? You won’t be able to finish the online survey without the validation code and purchase info from it, but you can still enter the sweepstakes through the no-purchase mail-in method.
Where do I go for help with a survey or reward issue? Check Firehouse Subs’ official website for current customer service contact details, since support channels and promotional terms can change between periods.
Final Word
FirehouseListens is a quick, above-board way to give Firehouse Subs direct feedback and land a legitimate chance at $500 — all it costs is a few minutes and a receipt you were probably going to throw away anyway. Use your code before it expires, match your entries exactly to the printed details, and remember that only FirehouseListens.com and the official mail-in address are real entry points — anything else claiming to be Firehouse’s survey deserves a second look.
