I eat panda 1-4 times a month! Might as well take advantage of free money.

For whatever reason, I've tried to go back to original email to get the gift card and the links are broken in email. Make sure you save a copy somewhere it is too bad you can't load the gift cards in their app.

PSA: The 19 digit gift card number you receive through email has spaces every 4 digits. If you copy and paste it into their app or website, the last 3 numbers get cut off since the text box only takes 19 characters. It's not easy to notice the last 3 digits were cut off which results in an invalid gift card number error. This is frustrating as hell. You have to remove the spaces before pasting in the code.
Whoever implemented this system is an idiot. Producing a number with spaces when the input field doesn't allow spaces. I almost wasted my time attempting to call customer support before I realized what was happening.
This level of IT incompetence is a typical result of outsourcing IT to third world countries.

Did this deal work for anybody? I tried multiple times between yesterday and today. the purchase goes through but i immediately receive a message "We regret to inform you that we were unable to process your order. To ensure the safety of all transactions, every order goes through a validation process. Unfortunately, your order did not meet one or more of our security checks and was therefore cancelled."
i tried 3 different cards and google pay. none work.

Still trying to use my $30 gift card from Christmas. Problem with Panda express is not enough bogo deals or 50% off deals
I did the math if you only ate at Panda Express with this $8 bonus deal.
$8/$38 = -$21%
If you eat $500, then you'll get a free Family Meal (~$42) via the Rewards.
500 * .21 = $105 savings + $42 (free Family Meal) = $147 in savings
147 / 500 = 29.4% off
Not great, but better than nothing. So for a BIGGER MEAL, 30% off makes the meal cost about $9.

Can I use 2 $8 bonus cards to pay for an order?
Yes.
You can't load GCs to save, but you can add multiple GCs at checkout to pay.
Personally, it's faster to go in and order vs. ordering online and picking up. I've always had to wait. I don't know if face-2-face gets me more food like Chipotle, but I like the possibility. You can pay at the register also with multiple GCs/Bonus cards.

Quote from bballercf13 :
Is that better value?
No. The Family Meal gets you more food (20%+) than 3 Bigger Plates.
Not only in the sides, but also with the entrees. They've been holding back on the Bigger Plates recently. Less side noodles, less heaping entrees.

BTW, I did this and it was the best thing on my plate.
I got home. The night before, I made pot roast. I shredded some beef and used the fat to heat up a pan.
Dumped in the Panda Fried Rice. Added a little more soy sauce. Added some bean sprouts and curry powder near the end. Stirred everything well.
The added char, soy sauce, curry powder, and beef took their FR to another few levels up.

DO NOT order this unless you plan to order at least the total amount of each card. The website and app purposely prevents you from applying leftover balances (known complaint on Reddit) that never gets fixed. Shady AF. Honestly, last time I'm ordering from them.
I'm going to order this purposefully planning to only use slightly more than half the $30 then cash out the balance

Just curious how long it took to get an order confirmation email and the gift cards? I ordered this morning, my cc has been charged, but I didn't even recieve an order confirmation yet...let alone the gift cards. Someone else I know got theirs right away after ordering. Thanks!

Did the same deal last year (x4 people) and had no problem using the cards for multiple purchases in the app until they were completely depleted.
