    Thanks, Collin! 😀

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome!

    • Grisel

      Got one too! And an extra bonus!!!

  2. Jamie

    I watched all 6 videos and got the $5/1 and FREE COFFEE/TEA coupons, but didnt receive any FREE PASTRY coupon.

    • Ashley

      Were you a new or existing member? It was only for new panera members

    • mumfors

      are you a new member? free pastry is only for new members. 🙁 yea i wanted the free pastry more than the drink. Love sweets. lol

    • Lynn l

      Jamie, I think that the free pastry was earned at sign up. That’s the way I understood it. And when I signed up (not today) I did earn a free pastry. Maybe if you signed up earlier, it was loaded onto your account at that time.

    • Vi

      @Jamie- as soon as I signed up I received the free pastry coupon- showed up and it is also in my dashboard area

  3. romy

    how much are the broth bowls normally

    • Janel

      Got one today it was8.99 which is way too much but I used the coupon today and it was yummy!

  4. Kristin

    Thanks! Got both and looking forward to trying the broth bowl. Yum!

    Panera B is really too expensive for the tiny portions they serve.

    • Courtney

      I actually like that they serve small portions. It’s really how much our bodies need. I like how they have the calories posted too. It really does help me make better choices.

      • Liz

        Totally agree with you Courtney! I much prefer the smaller portions. I usually get half a sandwich and half a salad – that way I can make two meals out of it.

      • Marie

        I think small portions are good, but the high prices for those portions are bad 🙁

        • Dylan

          We’ve gotten so used to paying such low prices for huge servings of unhealthy food. Places like Panera serve reasonable portions of higher quality food – therefore it is more expensive. Unfortunately, you have to pay more for quality ingredients, rather than mass produced, processed frozen foods that most fast food restaurants sell. I choose to pay more at places like Panera or Chipotle because I appreciate their ingredients.

        • Josie

          I agree.

    • sue

      Yup. I agree much too expensive. But sooooo good. I am excited to see some coupon options now. Reminds me of starbucks rewards program. Is panera part of starbucks I wonder

      • Csessanne

        Panera and Starbucks are competitors.

      • iamoved22

        Panera has rewards with their loyalty card too, after so many visits and for your birthday

    • Jenn

      I usually get a you pick two and make two meals out of it. I have salad and bread for lunch one day, and the half sandwich and chips the next. It is kind of expensive, but I don’t mind as much when I break it up like that.

    • d.miller

      I agree……

  6. glylibra

    yay!! thanks for sharing this post!

  7. michelle

    You also get a free pastry during your birthday month.

  8. Mayra

    How do you redeem if you don’t have a physical card? TIA

    • LUCY

      by phone number going to the cashier and telling her your number associated with your account.

    • Beth

      Give them the phone number you signed up with when you order. That’s what they told me to do when I signed up last year & it’s always worked great.

    • Sue

      You can print one out or tell them the phone number that you registered with.

    • Mel

      My Panera can look up your account by phone number. I think most can do that. Hope that helps!

      • mel

        I asked for a physical card and they entered my phone # in the system and was able to convert the #’s.

  9. Kevin Pierce

    Can I use all 3 of these coupons at once?

    • Chloe

      Yes! They will let you redeem any rewards you have at one time.

  10. Vaibhav Jain

    I generated $5 off coupon and watched other 3 videos to get free coffee/tea or soda.
    Thanks for sharing this.

  11. ccip

    I got the free pastry but there is no banner to click on to watch the videos. Help! What am I doing wrong?

  12. Caroline

    Super silly question, after I watch the videos will the $5 bowl coupon and free coffee go into my rewards or do I need to print coupons? I watched all 6 videos and the congrats screen came up and all videos have a green check mark, but my rewards dash has only free pastry. Thx!!!

    • Jenn

      I watched the videos yesterday and I could see the rewards today. If they don’t show for you tonight, they should by tomorrow! = )

    • michelle

      It takes a few minutes for the rewards to show on the account. I logged out & then logged back in after about 10 mins & they were there.

    • Caroline

      You ladies were both correct!! Thank you!!! I got all three, It just took a while 🙂

  13. Kyliesmama

    Can you do this on mobile? I’m not seeing the banner

  14. julie

    Does anyone know how much the Broth Bowls cost? Thanks!

    • EG

      $8-$9

  15. Sarah

    Running really slow for me but I got the deal.

  16. EG

    Can you redeem more than one offer at the same time? Can I get a free drink, pastry and $5 off the bowl all in 1 transaction?

    • foofo

      not in the same transactions but in same visit yes. Just say separate tranactions

  17. Liz OB

    I love Panera Bread Broccoli chedder soup, Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, and the extra large loaf of sourdough! I order all everytime. Ironically, we just made broccoli cheddar soup at home today because I wanted it for the next few days. I made the Almost Famous Broccoli Cheddar Soup from FoodNetwork.com. I skipped the blender part because I like the broccoli whole. Yummy recipe!

  18. MrsMassone

    When do coupons expire. I want to do this deal but I am fasting until the 25 th. Can someone please post the expiration for the pastry and bread bowl coupons

    • Layla

      They expire 2 weeks from the day you earn them.

  19. chen

    Got both yay! Thanks Collin!

  20. leanne

    thank you!! i’m bummed because i forgot about my free birthday pastry and it expired! 🙁

  21. Nicole

    Thanks so much, I am going to use the coupons soon! Planning a panera date with my daughter this weekend!

  22. April

    Is there some trick to get the coupon at the end? I watched all 6 videos, all the way to the end and after watching them all nothing appeared and there was nothing added to my rewards? What did I do wrong?

    • laura

      Were you signed into your account? I say try again and if that doesn’t work, maybe try a different browser.

  23. Suzanne H

    Collin – you always have the best timing! I am having lunch with a friend tomorrow at Panera Bread so this is perfect!

  24. Martha

    Would love feedback from anyone who has tried the new broth bowls! Thanks in advance

    • truescoops

      I used the $5 coupon and got the Soba noodle with chicken broth bowl. It’s O.k, anout 50% noodles, 25% chicken, and the remaining 25% is broth, mushrooms, cabbage, etc. I would NOT pay $9 for this regularly, but at $3.99 it was a good price for what you get.

    • madduxmommy

      I had the Lentil Quinoa Broth Bowl with the Cage-Free egg for lunch today. I loved it! I didn’t know about the bowls before I went in there and I love quinoa so I got it and was delicious. I’m not sure if I would have liked it with the chicken in it though. I’m excited about the $5 off coupon 🙂 Those are some pretty pricey ingredients so I’m okay paying the $7.99 for it. Good quality healthy food that I don’t have to cook is always a winner in my book!

  25. gege1804

    I am having the bowl right now for lunch. Cheap healthy lunch! 🙂

  26. noellethomas

    I dont see the video after i signed in?

  27. lynnl

    Any suggestions of the best tasting bowls to try? Thx

  28. Marion

    I got the Soba Noodle Bowl and it was really good. Only $3 after coupon. I wouldn’t ever pay $8 for it, though. The bowl they gave me was only filled up about 25%. Very small portions.

    I got the apple too for my New Years Resolution to eat healthier… Wish I would’ve got the bread to soak up the broth, tho.

    Aside from the portion size, it’s really good.

  29. d.miller

    I don’t go to Panera I think it so over priced for what you get!!!

  30. nikki

    I don’t see these in my acct?

  31. Afroman231

    Since it is my birthday on the 19th I stll will get the pastry even though I have been signed up for awhile because that is what you get for your birthday. So really I did get all 3. Thanks Colin.

  32. Julie Harris

    Thank you Collin!!! Fantastic deals!!!

  33. Suzanne H

    Used this today without a problem. The bowl was $7.99 ($8.99 for bowls with chicken but hubby is vegan). I was able to add a salad for $2.99. I paid $6 for a salad, a baguette, a broth bowl and a tea. Hubby had the broth bowl and 1/2 baguette + water. I had the salad, 1/2 baguette and tea. We were both full and we’re hearty eaters. Good deal!

  34. Renée

    I’d love to try these, but they have mushrooms, which I can’t have. Make sure to check the ingredients if you have food sensitivities because mushrooms were not listed for all broth bowls online, but when I looked at the full list of ingredients in-store, they were there. My husband enjoyed the cheap dinner, though! Lol

  35. Alaina

    Does anyone know what drinks are included? Does it include just the brewed teas and coffees or also the mochas, lattes, and iced drinks?
