🤔 Seeking "feedback" on Panera - thanks!!!

Hey All!!!

 

Hope everyone is well.

 

I have NEVER gotten Panera eGiftcards, but "thinking" of trying my luck with a few.

 

(1) Anyone used them at a Panera LOCATION? I have one down the hill from me here in Virginia. I want to "go" to location and order. Maybe eat there or take home. Lol, depends on how busy they are.

 

(2) If YES, is there a LIMIT on how MANY we can use for ONE purchase?

 

(3) Any TIPS to pass my way would be greatly APPRECIATED. I am getting to be a "pro" with all this finally. So far have redeemed for Amazon, Staples and Bath & Body Works. GRATEFUL the "experience" was POSITIVE as I was a "nervous" wreck going to Staples and Bath & Body Works. BOTH times a "boss" was nearby as CASHIER had NO idea how to process the eGiftcards. Geez, hope one will be present IF I do decide to visit Panera. Still debating, but tempting. Their selection is delicious. 👍

 

Thank you SO MUCH,

Nicole 🤗💛

Hi Nicole!!

I have had good luck redeeming gift cards at Panera, the most I ever used at once was 2 or 3. No barcode on the gift card so they have to enter all the numbers by hand. That being said I usually wait til I get a "reward" or discount sent to me (make an account if you don't already have one) because I feel they are overpriced (esp the baked goods). I love the orange scones though, very good.

    [6/21/26] Thanks Maria @MariaK113398 , I DONOT have an account. Will set one up as you suggested. YES, their prices are HIGH!!! 😱 I will do like you are doing and wait for a "reward" or discount from them. Thank you for that TIP my friend.

     

    Lol, now to HOPE I can "snag" at least 3 eGiftcards. 🤞

    [Friday 7/24/26]

     

    Well Dan @dantheman63 and Maria @MariaK113398 , "redeemed" for my 1st "points only" Panera on 7/8.

     

    Hoping to "snag" another one NEXT month (August) so I can "celebrate" my birthday in September with my 1st visit using an AARP Rewards eGiftcard.

     

    Hoping whomever is there will know what to do. 🤞

     

    Again, I APPRECIATE your "feedback".

     

    Take care my friends,

    Nicole 💛🤗
