Most stores have already switched from the killer Lemonade to the new less lethal non charged lemonade the stores that did not switch will as soon as they run out or another victim dies.
Is that 10% per transaction or per order or total? I don't see 5% on restaurants…is that on chase as well? So if it's 10% on Panera through chase, then you don't get that additional 5% and 2% through chase…perhaps separately?

This second $2 off a salad reward doesn't say with min $5 purchase, but has the same requirements. I kept putting 2 half salads in my cart the were $5.xx (cheapest ones they had that I'd eat). I kept getting an error because $2 off of $5.xx made my min $3.xx.
I thought I might have figured out how they were "calculating" these two specific reward and promo code together, but my last test didn't work correctly. I'll show you what I did anyways. I tried a few test by adding different items to my cart to figure out what discount would come off or not. It didn't matter which order I added the reward or promo code. It shouldn't matter, but since the math wasn't mathing, I didn't know if this mattered.
Test 1 (added FREEHALFENTREE)
I've add two salads ($7.19) that were the same price to my cart.
Subtotal= $14.38
Reward = -$7.19
Tax = $.48
Total =$7.67
Subtotal: $7.19 + $7.19 = $14.38
Reward: $7.19 + [$7.19 - (cheapest salad)]= $7.19
Tax: $7.19 x (.067) = $.48
Total: $7.19 + $.48 = $7.67
Test 1 (added FREEHALFENTREE and $2 off salad)
Subtotal= $14.38
Reward = -$8.19
Tax = $.41
Total =$6.60
The only way for the discount to be a difference of $1 is they must have divided the $2 off between the 2 salads and then made the cheapest salad free.
*Can't subtract deal from nothing
*$1 off looks negated
- one entree

7.19 - (1) +[7.19 - (7.19)] - (1)] = 6.19
6.19 + 6.19 x (.067)tax = 6.60
6.19 + .41 = 6.60
Test 2 (added FREEHALFENTREE)
*Salad ($7.19) cheaper + sandwich ($7.89) more expensive
Subtotal=$15.08
Reward=-$7.19
Tax=$.52
Total=$8.41
*Adding the $2 off salad reward doesn't change anything.
*The final price is the same.
*Test 3 had a salad ($7.19) + sandwich ($7.19); all the same price
*FREEHALFENTREE only added
Subtotal=$14.38
Reward=-$7.19
Tax=$.48
Total=$7.67
*Adding the $2 off salad reward doesn't change anything.
*The final price is the same.
*Test 4 had a salad ($7.99) more expensive + sandwich ($7.19) cheaper.
*FREEHALFENTREE only added
Subtotal=$15.18
Reward=-$7.19
Tax=$.53
Total=$8.52
*Added the $2 off salad reward
Subtotal=$15.18
Reward=-$7.99
Tax=$.48
Total=$7.67
*This causes the more expensive item (salad) to be free and the $2 not to come off. However, it's cheaper than just having the promo code. Since, it makes the cheapest item free.
*Test 5 (added FREEHALFENTREE)
*Salad ($7.99) more expensive + salad ($7.19) cheaper
Subtotal=$15.18
Reward=-$7.19
Tax=$.53
Total=$8.52
*Added the $2 off salad reward
Subtotal=$15.18
Reward=-$8.24
Tax=$.46
Total=$7.40
$15.18 - $8.24 = $6.94
*Looks to be going by a different formula.
*Using the previous formula, the Subtotal should be $6.99 if the free entree is the cheaper one ($7.19).
Conclusion:
If you have a salad reward with a promo code for the Pick Two, don't add anything but a salad to the deal. You will also not get the full reward amount off for some reason.

Up Until a few months back (maybe 6 months ago), my 2 children used to half sandwich and be really full. This time around, after the portion size got reduced, they had to eat a full sandwich. so $9 for 1 sandwich with barely anything inside it. Not sure if it's just my Panera or other Panera locations are doing the same thing?

I experienced the same for my Half chipotle chicken avocado. One look at the packaging and I was wondering why is it looking so small and this was definitely not the case in the past as it's my go to item on the menu almost 90% of the time. When I opened it, I noticed a substantial decrease in the quantity inside. In the past, they used to pack it well with chicken and avocado but this time it was a total disappointment. But nevertheless half of that and half bowl of cream and chicken soup for $7.09 in Atlanta seemed like a decent value. Maybe if I had bought some GCs at 20% off last month, it would have been a very good deal.
Long story short - looks like they did indeed reduce the sandwich portions.
What's a value duet salad? Is it like, pick one of the ones that are allowed in a value duet?
So it'd be Caesar Salad or the Greek Salad I guess?

Half their food even seems overpriced after using coupons. The only good thing I've seen is the Unlimited Sip Club (because I got it for 3 months free; I wouldn't pay more than $7 per month for it anyway).
And the other good thing is FREEHALFENTREE with $5 purchase. Even then I find myself struggling to find something for $5 that's worth it. Even a cookie and a brownie come to $7.20 or something for something I didn't really want, and doesn't seem worth it (even with the free half-sando)
