    I got coffee one!! Yay!

    • Happymama

      Me too! Thanks!

  2. Rani

    How do I sign up for this?

    • kari

      Need a panera rewards account… Can do at panera or sign up online then they randomly pick customers based on that. You also earn discounts with your purchases…. Like $2 off a you pick 2 after 5 visits, etc. For example.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Hi there! You can sign up through the link above! You can click on “Join Now” at the top of the Panera Website. Hope that helps!

    I have not registered My Panera card yet, so you just gave me incentive to do so! ☕️😊

    • Donna

      Same here a free pastry! I’m assuming we will have to wait until next month to see if we get in on one of these offers.

      • Karen

        Darn, I think you’re right! Oh well, a pastry is a nice treat! 🙂

  4. ~jenn~

    I got the free bagel!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yay!

  5. Diana

    I got the free daily bagel in April but did not get it this time around. Instead, I got a $2 off online/Mobile order daily!

    • Andria

      I would like that offer better! You have options for anything!

    • Kristin

      Wow lucky you! I got the free bagel every day in April but nothing this month. Oh well.

  6. Yelena

    Why don’t I ever get those offers, other than regular discounts after so many visits?

    • Shel

      I’m not sure, but I’m right there with you 🙂

    • Oxana

      I emailed Panera to find out how they determine who received rewards. I was told that it is based on your purchase history and frequency of your visits. Whe I eat at Panera I always buy their bagels and have yet to receive any free rewards for a month. 🙁

      • ashli

        My mother has a card and has for the past 2 ys has maybe had Panera twice and she got this rewards and has had others. I’ve gone frequently and received nothing.

        • april

          I barely go maybe once every 2 months and I got the coffee deal today for this month. I usually never get anything though

      • Just Me

        I never go to panera and got the April free bagels. It did condition me to want a bagel today lol

      • k

        They lie to you because i only ordered from them 2 times and i have received a bagel for a month before and this is the 2nd time i received the free coffee

        • A2Bargains

          It is based on frequency, but not in a way that rewards you for being a loyal customer. So Oxana always gets bagels when she goes, so they don’t need to get her in (w/ the reward) to buy more because she buys them without the reward. “K” has only ordered twice, so he or she is not a frequent customer. Panera is trying to entice them to come in by giving bagels/coffee for a month.

      • ~jenn~

        I’ve never gone and received the free bagel month in February and this month.

    • April

      I think it’s for people that don’t go often because I got it last month and go to Panera a few times a year only.

      • A2Bargains

        I agree-I think they are trying to get people to come in and using this as an incentive. Maybe I should stop going there so often! haha

      • riss

        I think so, too. I signed up year, never went, not even once after signing up. Exactly a year after, I got free bagels in April! I only went twice for the free bagel, and free pastry for birthday reward.

    • Robin M.

      It’s random. I have had people come.in and never get coffee…but they get coffee free for the month. Btw. For those who got the coffee reward, it works on iced coffee too. Have the cashier try on espresso drinks as well….sometimes it takes 3.00 off! 😀😀😀😀

  7. Dany

    Coffee yay! I had never gotten these freebies before!

  8. Mel

    Drats! Nothing for me this time but my sister got the Free Coffee. Loved the free bagel offer last month. I have about 20 in the freezer. Tempting not to eat one every day LOL. I just had them slice it for me and I flashed froze each half before putting in a container. This way I’ll only eat 1/2 when I have a hankering instead of the whole thing!!

    • Karen

      Thanks for that idea, Mel!

  9. Joni

    i signed up months ago never got anything no not in spam folder either 🙁

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Darn! Maybe next time!

  10. Rachel

    Loved my free bagel in April. Most days I would pick it up on the way to getting my daughter from school and she would eat it. Didn’t get one this month, better go check hubby’s account and see if he’s got anything.

  11. meg

    I got the free coffee!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Sweet!

  12. Diane

    I got free coffee. I’m not a coffee drinker, but it’s a nice thing for them to do!

    • Laura

      you can ask for tea

    • Robin M.

      If you have a friend who can use the reward, as long as they have a rewards account and an email address on file with panera, you may be able to gift the reward. When you log in, check and see if it says it under the reward in the rewarda section. 😀

  13. Bluewatergirl

    I haven’t received anything for about eight or nine months when I got a month of free coffee.

  14. Cathy

    They really need different coffee. I have got this several times and won’t use it. The coffee is always cold when I get it. Or empty. Even McDonald’s is better.

    • Bluewatergirl

      I couldn’t help but laugh at your comment. I don’t go often for coffee but I don’t usually have any problems with old or cold coffee. (Ours is pretty busy) What made me laugh was I don’t eat at McDonald’s, never go there, but was out of town a couple months ago and needed to kill a little bit of time. I decided that since I was right next to McDonald’s I would go in and get a coffee and sit down. The coffee was absolutely horrible! I was wondering who actually drinks it. 🙂

  15. Angel

    Thanks for the heads up! Free bagel for me – yay!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome Angel! Enjoy!

  16. Yana

    I got free coffee!!! For those who got this before is it any coffee and any size?

    • Laura

      Yes it is 🙂

    • mary

      Last year I was able to get iced coffee too.

      • Robin M.

        Still can

  17. N

    Lucky peeps!

  18. An Education in Domestication

    Sometimes going in to the store is the best way to find out about the rewards. My account never stated that I had a free bagel a day for April, but I went in the other day and they told me I did. So even if your account doesn’t say you have it, check with the store!

    • Robin M.

      If your store has the kiosks, you can check there as well.

  19. Mary

    I got the free bagel reward in April! I’m guessing I won’t get this offer again this month. But, I’m happy I had a few free, tasty bagels last month The cinnamon crunch bagel is so delicious!

    • Kristin

      My favorite bagel too!!!

    • Dana Brewer

      Yes. The cinnamon crunch bagel is amazing. Just eat it, you don’t need to add anything.

  20. Melissa

    I got a free bagel everyday!! Can’t wait to start stocking up!! My daughters favorite is the chocolate chip …I like the cinnamon raisin or blueberry ☺️

  21. April

    I got the free bagel last month but nothing this month. It was really nice getting the bagel and not having to buy anything else that is a awesome offer. Sometimes they would give me a free cookie with my bagel which of course I devoured.

  22. rn30032

    I got free coffee for May and free back a in March
    I hate coffees does anyone know if I can get hot tea or coco instead

    • T

      Yes tea but not hot chocolate

    • Happymama

      I tested the iced coffee today and it worked fine…it’s lighter than a hot coffee. I think I saw a few different teas – like raspberry. Hope you can find something for you! It’s a great freebie 🙂 Thanks Collin and team!

  23. markiesluv

    I got the free bagel. Also had a free drink on there. Thanks for the heads up.

  24. Kim Q

    I got free bagel in Aprils too but not may

  25. Keri B

    I got the free bagel. Took my son this morning. Poor little guy was having a rough morning and the chocolate chip bagel helped turn things around. We had fun sitting outside and counting the birds

  26. T

    I work at Panera. This reward is randomly chosen between all the accounts. It doesn’t matter how often you go or what you buy unlike other rewards

  27. Brittney

    I received the free coffee. Wish it was the bagels, but my husband may enjoy the coffee on his way to work

  28. Jacki

    Thanks for the heads up! I had the bagel on my account. Does anyone know if it includes cream cheese or is that extra?

    • lillee

      Cream cheese is extra.

    • Dana Brewer

      The cream cheese costs more than the bagel. About $1.55 or so.

      • Just Me

        Yes! I always tell my husband I’ll just walk across the street to the grocery and get a whole container for that price.

    • Kate

      Butter is free! 😉

  29. Kathy

    I got the free bagels last month & the asiago is delicious. Also got a free birthday pastry & they do have the best scones. Nothing this month, but maybe next time.

  30. Marie G

    I never get any of the emails from there and my card is registered and I have opted in for emails as well. So sad.

  31. emma

    is it a free black coffee or like an iced coffee

    • Mel

      They give you a cup and you make it yourself. At my Panera, the coffee station has those thermos pump thingys with several hot varieties and one with cold coffee, the sugars, milk & creamer.

  32. Shell

    I got the free bagel in April and I rarely go to Panera. I took my daughter each weekday toPanera so she could take the bagel to school. The regular morning employee at the drive thru was actually very rude to me while using my free Panera reward she would just hand the bag out the window and not say a word. I always smiled and thanked her but it was very disappointing so if it is not free I won’t be back for a while.

  33. Rosana

    if anyone wants to share a bagel i will gladly take one if you can’t make to Panera. I can go tomorrow, Wednesday or Friday email at ro99jo at yahoo dot com
    TIA

  34. Alexandra

    I got the free bagel offer. I go 3-4 x/year.

    Do you have to buy anything or can I just go in and order only the free bagel?
    What is charge for cream cheese?
