Unless we find another way to hack that app again, have any free item with any purchase deals or they resort to BOGO deals; I think I am done with Panera bread.
My free 3 months ends tomorrow, so this is worth extending for. My favorite is iced coffee, with avocado toast or one of the many breakfast sandwiches under $8, minus the 10% off I have for gift cards.
Canceled a few weeks ago and says I'm ineligible: "This promo code is available for *New & Lapsed Subscribers Only. Don't worry, you'll still get a great deal on all our great Sip Club benefits!"

Just came here to B&M about Panera. I had a buy two months for $5. Time was coming up for renewal. I submitted cancel before my end date - but was offered a free month if I continued. So, I figured why not. Panera F'ers charged me for a renewal anyways. No way to get my money back. Panera has a policy that no refunds are offered. I called in and they did offer me money into my account to make up the difference. WHY - if I cancel - would they charge me for a month! So be cautious with - don't go away we will give you a free month. They charge you anyways.
I'm hooked on their SIP club, saves me a ton on drinks. Perfect for being in a city with a lot of them or just driving along the highway. They're all over the place on the east coast. Worth it even just for the bathroom access lol

They were too expensive for what you get before all the inflation.

They offered 3 months for 3.33 so I took it
Such a bad move! They are doing it for 3 dollars a month rn.

Just out of curiosity, is Panera in general kind of awful, or is it just my local store? I had the Sip club previously. More often than not, after getting the notification my drink was ready I would get to the store and it wouldn't be ready. The hot coffee was usually cold or empty. The in-store experience was terrible. When I saw this deal, I figured I would try again, since it had been a couple years. This was day 1, and every beverage except hot coffee was "sold out" in the app. I got the notification my coffee was ready, and nothing on the rack. Waited in line and finally got a cup. While waiting in line, I could clearly see that all the "sold out" beverages were there. The reason they gave: they didn't order enough cups so they were unable to supply to-go beverages. They are opening a new store on the other side of town soon (which is about the same distance for me), so I am wondering if this is just the normal Panera experience, or if I should wait it out for a couple of months until the new store opens. As it stands right now, even at $3 it isn't worth being annoyed every time I walk through the door.

Their app says it's ready when it's not, but the cup is usually there when I go get it. If they run out of Hazelnut coffee, I just tell them and they bring in another Hazelnut pot. My panera has a microwave under coffee area, so I could heat up the coffee if I happen to get it cold Or they have hot water thing used for teas that I could use to dilute coffee to warm it up.
I just used an offer that came up in my app from visits and it was a swap one, where I could choose between three different options: $2 off sandwich or soup or a free bagel. I ended up getting a free bagel. I did my caloric analysis (best price for calories) and found the cinnamon crunch bagel to be a really good deal for $1.89 (price in my area). One does not even need cream cheese. Good money saver there as well.
