Deal Details
Note: Once I updated my panera app, this glitch no longer worked. If you have an old version of the app, you might be able to get this. For the latest version see 3rd post in this thread.

If your Panera app has a reward "Buy one, Get one for $5! Use code: BOGO5" you might be able to glitch it and get both sandwiches for $5 each.

To Glitch:
1) Open up your Panera App (I'm on Android) and add two whole sandwiches to your shopping cart.
2) Click Redeem next to Bogo5 reward twice. It appears that nothing happens.
3) Scroll down and in the promo code section click "Add Promo" and type in bogo5
4) Check the price of sandwiches in the cart. It should say $5 for each sandwich.
5) Total price should be $10 + tax.


Since you are buying two full entrees you can also buy two discounted cookies for 1.29 each and swap out your sides to two apples or baguettes to dip into your soup/dip.

Also, they might ban for this so you might not want to do this glitch on your main account.

Does not work on current app version. Even if it does work, you're committing fraud with this one. Expect to get blacklisted from Panera or worse if you're doing this more then 20 times (crime level).

4.94.1 (on android) is the 1/06/25 update that patches this glitch. I'm on 4.93.1, and the glitch still works. I always have auto update off and just manually update my apps. Too many times I've had an app update causing problems, that I just keep that feature off on Google Play.

Though, my app did freeze after I put the order though and I couldn't get back in the app. I thought that was a sign and I would have to update the app to get it working again, but I forced stopped the app and cleared the temp cache and I was able to get back in the app. I'm a bit weary to try the glitch again. Well, until my stomach growls again.
Thanks! Reps. I just changed my settings.

I am pretty sure the individual (cannot really throw genders around) is right about this being criminal (just forewarning us); however, this would be similar to taking money that was mistakenly deposited into your account by your bank. They are in their right to press charges.
Did I still do this? Yes.
If anyone asks why I did it, I am pointing to both the current and future president of this country.

I don't understand the 4 bagel sandwiches but I can get the 2 for $10. Can someone explain the 4 Bagels deal please?
Basically, you pay a $0.50 upcharge to change the bread to bagels. They have to give you four bagels to put the sandwich in because there is too much topping in the sandwich. So essentially, instead of getting two sandwiches cut in half, you are getting 4 entire bagels for $0.50 extra. Some may see this as a deal because two pieces of bread for one sandwich is not seen as a separate item. They do charge entire bagels for extra. Get it?

Honestly, I have to give you credit for being upstanding. I have not seen that much since moving to the city I am now in. The people here have no shame when running through red lights and stop signs. They have no shame when they cut others off in traffic and excessively speeding beyond $10 mph past the posted speed limit.

But for messing with a business, I feel like this would be the right thing to do. They are using apps to not pay their employees more and instead, removing a part of their job. They are making it more expensive for us as consumers. So in this case, if I get charged, I get charged.
But for all the honest people in the world, I have to write to you "Have you ever driven over the speed limit (at least 1 mph than posted)?"

It does work as I am currently placing the order. I am pretty sure no one is looking for someone buying a few sandwiches at discount.

If anything, I would think Panera would be thanking us for frequenting them. Some business is better than none of yo business (see what I did there?).

They were not really being upstanding, since they tried on their updated app and failed. They are turning the jealousy into being aggro because they could not get the glitch to work. Like you say, let those without sin cast the first stone.

Thats correct! The manager could care less that I got four bagel sandwiches for $11. He even came over to say hi and give me a hug. The employees who made my sandwich didn't care either. It keeps people like me coming in and buying stuff.

Same cost for me. How are you getting extra 50 cents?

Upgrading the bread to a bagel cost .50. You end up getting 2 bagels to make 1 sandwich. By upgrading both sandwiches to bagels they end up using 4 bagels. So for $1 upgrade charge you get 4 decent size sandwiches.

The way I see it, never in a million years would I eat from Panera but this thread is making me consider spending 10 bucks. Thats 10 bucks they would not have had if not for this glitch!

For me swapping bread to a bagel doesn't cost anything. It's not an upgrade, it's a substitution. I didn't know some Paneras charged for this.
