Although I have always liked the restaurant Panera there isn’t one that close to where I live so I don’t go there very often. A couple of months ago I did end up there with my sister and I got a Panera Card for free and they told me to take it home to register it. I put it in my desk drawer and didn’t think about it again until my friends decided we should go to lunch at Panera. The night before I got out the card and registered it. I clicked on the “My Surprises” section of the website and it gave me a free Espresso or Smoothie that I was able to use the next day. Even better, my friend was able to get a card that day, register it on the internet on her phone, and get a free drink also. Now under the “My Surprises” tab I have a $1 off of any drink. If you are going to eat at Panera it can’t hurt to get a card.
