Note the offer usually expires about 6 days after you scratch. So if you want to use offer later next week its better to wait on scratching unless closer to the end of the promo period

800,000 upgrade coupons available.

Coupons may run out towards the end of the week. They did for the free small entree last week. This week, if the upgrade coupons run out, you will get a coupon for "Get 200 Panda points when you spend $15+"

This is basically the equivalent of spending $10 and then getting a free item that is not worth half the value of the plate. Panda Express might want to buy out Shake Shack for this deal.

That could explain why that one individual stated that they received double bonus points with purchase instead of the free small entree last week. That is basically the consolation prize.

Which going back to my other post on here, maybe Chipotle should buy out both Panda Express and Shake Shack for this deal.

To some people on here, why are you complaining about something that is free? Just buy the plate. LOL!!!

Panda Express is very backwards.

**All prices in my area.
Bowl is $8.50 (minimum) 1 side and 1 entree, Plate $10.30 1 side and 2 entree, Bigger plate $12.10 1 side and 3 entrees. So an entree is $1.80 and a side is $6.70 (one of the few restaurants where a side is charged more than an entree).

What is even worse is that they charge more for an entree A la Carte, $5.40 for a small and $8.70 for a medium (for no premiums).

All right. So let's "suggest" that maybe they are running a deal here. A bowl actually consists of two combined a la carte side and a la carte entree (small). They upcharge for an additional entree, only $1.80 to add!
That would mean a side is actually $3.10. But that is not right because an a la carte side is actually $4.60 (medium). You'll notice that they do not have an a la carte small side. So are we lead to believe an a la carte small side is what makes up the bowl? Maybe if it was listed, it would be $3.10?

So then we find that all these bowls and plates are smalls of everything a la carte! A HA!
