Panera Bread is launching a new loyalty card program for their restaurants & it’s currently in select states (& select cities within those states), but it should be at all locations fairly soon. If there is a participating location near you, you’ll need to first head to Panera Bread & ask for a free loyalty card. Then, you can register your card online & you should be sent a coupon by email for a FREE pastry upon registration. You’ll also receive a birthday freebie & other great coupons, discounts & possibly other freebies as part of their loyalty program.
Here are the participating states:
WA – Only the Vancouver, WA location
OR - Portland, Tualatin, Hillsboro, Clackamas, Beaverton
Kentucky
Indiana
Ohio
North Carolina
Tennessee
Virginia
West Virginia
I’m excited about this new program at Panera. I have to admit that I actually had only been to Panera Bread once a few yrs ago, until this spring when we went before a trip to the Children’s Museum. And we just went again on Father’s Day (well, the girls & I went with a friend while my hubby got to do some shopping at the outdoor store nearby with a friend). I sure wish we had one closer, though – although it’s probably a good thing since my budget would definitely be blown as I’d want to eat there all the time! 
So, what is your favorite item to order at Panera Bread?
Thanks My Frugal Adventures!
Do you go to the one in Lakewood Town Center?

Now how did I not know there was one in Lakewood? I’ve only been to the Lacey one, but I knew there was also one in Federal Way.

Oh, I love Panera Bread! I wish the loyalty program was in our area right now. I love so many items there, but my favorites are the Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwich & the Asian Sesame Chicken Salad. I also love their Chocolate Pastries and their Cinnamon Crunch Bagels are yummy too.
We have one about 15 minutes from our house. Anytime my daughter and I have a night out, she wants to eat there. I don’t complain!

Ooh, the Asian Sesame Chicken Salad was on my list to try. I got a Smoked Turkey sandwich on croissant the last 2 times. So good! It’s rare I can find anywhere that serves a croissant sandwich, so I was thrilled! Lucky you to have one not too far.

I live sooooooo far out in the sticks, that the Gig Harbor one is the closest one for me! Although, if they had a loyalty program at that one, I’d go!

I went in and asked about it at the Federal Way store and they said they should have the program in a couple months!
