What can be we buy @ Panera Bread® online

except https://www.paneracards.com/buycards.aspx

BUT:

Shipping & Handling fees

FedEx Ground: $4.50 to a business*; $6.50 to a residence

Anyone know if you can buy a $10 giftcard in store? If they even sell giftcards? I can recommend their 3 cheese bread. Sliced to order. Actually tastes like cheese.

is there any way to do this without joining facebook?

Panera seems to have an unrealistic view of the gift card business. The costs associated with selling GCs (the plastic card, postage, etc.) are an up-front business expense that allows them to put money in the drawer in advance, and of locking in customers who might spend real dollars elsewhere.

Agreed. That's what I did the BB/AMEX promo. Free shipping.

Thanks anyway OP!

This link puts me on facebook but I don't see the offer. Is there another link I can use?

Thanks! We love Panera - we go there probably more than once a week. I'll just have to remember to use my AMEX the next time I'm there.

For me the offer was listed under 'Recommended for You' about halfway down. You might have to scroll.

You will also have to add your AMEX card to Sync to get the correct page. It will take your interests, basic info, and your friend's info as part of the Facebook app.

fb's phone verification pretty much ruins these for me. anyone find a way around it?

However, I had $25 pre-paid AMEX in the mail today. Have no clue why they sent it to me.

Did you do promo for prepaid card? It was something like load $25 and get $25 back which comes as pre-paid AMEX card. I am waiting for mine.

Never did any promo for prepaid. Anyway, it was a nice a surprise.

The Skyguide Executive Privilege Club deal from a month or so back?

I created throwaway FB account for this and didn't require any phone verification. Just gave them one of my webmail accounts and used the link they sent me to confirm account. Done.

Give it a while - they'll lock you out till you add a phone #

Went to Panera Bread tonight and already got the congratulations EMAIL from AMEX.

Dear: XXXX, XXXXXX

Congratulations! By using your synced American Express® Card ending in XXXXX, you
saved $10.00 on your purchase at Panera Bread. Expect a statement credit in 3-5 days.

Will this work if I use an American Express pre-paid card?

I still do not know how my AMEX card is linked to my FB account. I do not have FB but created a fake one a few months back for offers like this. My AME CC no is not on my FB profile...so after I like this deal how will Panera know to credit my AMEX? I am missing that link .. Please explain.

Thanks OP. I already had a gift card, so I linked my Fidelity AMEX card to a secondary Facebook account and used Panera's website to add $10 to the balance; hopefully that will trigger to the promo.

Thanks OP!

I registered 4 cards - made 2 purchases - both haven't received a single credit. Now I'm not certain I want to use the other two cards. I've never had a problem before - all previous promotions I have gotten the email right away. It's been 20 days now. Nothing, Something is clearly wrong in their system. Called on one account, they said they would issue the credit, that was 7 days ago, still haven't seen anything. What's going on AMEX?
