Amazing deal. I bought $ 400 worth in June for $ 320. Passed in July. Will buy another $ 400 during this offer. Better percentage deal than the $ 10 bonus card for a $ 50 gift card purchase. And, these don't expire. I did use these for the Sip club annual membership. $ 120.

The only thing to watch out for is that physical gift cards have a $0.65 postage fee
I ordered online for online delivery and immediately put them in my Panera online account.
Hint. Order everything online.
Even if I walk in the restaurant, I'll sit down and order online. That includes SIP DRINKS.
You are offered customization on most things. Extra tomato and cucumber, no charge.
You are offered rewards that you don't get in person.
Example. I just order a free SIP drink, and am often offered a half price pastry. That counts as a visit for reward status.
You don't feel awkward just ordering a free drink everyday if you order online. No face to face contact.
Panera is getting desperate with this being a common deal. I think since they were bought out they are challenged with quality and people are noticing.

You realize ordering from the kiosks have the exact same benefits.

That was 2017 and I don't know about quality but would definitely say quantity has declined to a ridiculous degree. I want to get this for at least their value duets but even that has gotten to be a really tiny amount of food.
Edit: My Panera is not offering the value duet at all so goodbye and good luck Panera.

I ate at a Panera in Delafield wi years ago and used the restroom. It was the most disgusting restroom I've ever experienced as a world traveler, camper and dive bar aficionado. Every time I see Panera, I lose a little lunch. Hope it's better now.
Have the SIP club and do like the new strawberry basil lemonade.. Refreshing. Hope it stays around. Wish they'd get a new coffee provider though. Always tastes watered down.

Strawberry Basil. Get two a week. Bring it home. It's very sweet. Add some water to dilute it. Lasts 3 days. My wife loves it.
Agree on the coffee being terrible. Can't stand their hot or iced coffee. Good iced tea though. Get 4 to 5 large cups a week. Bring it home.
Hint. Though I can't drink Dunkin' Donuts coffee, their cold brew coffee is very good. We get at least two large a week. Compared it to grocery canned cold brew. DD cold brew tastes much better, is cheaper, and lasts about 3 days in the refrigerator. About $ 4.49 for the large 24 ounce size. Used to make my own using special equipment. More expensive than buying it at DD.

Quality and taste went downhill.
