Panera's MyPanera program is now points-based, making it easier to earn points from qualifying purchases and redeem those points for food and beverages.
MyPanera membership is free. Members earn 10 points for every $1 spent on qualifying food and beverage purchases after applicable rewards and discounts are applied. Points can then be redeemed for eligible menu items in your MyPanera account.
Panera's rewards catalog can change, but the program currently offers redemption options ranging from smaller bakery items to larger menu items.

MyPanera members who add their birthday to their account may receive a birthday reward. Standard MyPanera members can receive a free individual bakery treat, such as a bagel, cookie, brownie, muffin, scone or pastry, subject to the reward's terms.
The birthday reward is loaded to your account and must be selected when ordering. It is generally valid for 7 days from the date it is loaded, so don't let it sit there too long.
Members who qualify for the MyPanera+ tier can receive a different birthday reward: a free You Pick Two, subject to the applicable terms and maximum discount.
MyPanera+ is earned by spending at least $300 in qualifying food and beverage purchases during a calendar year. Once earned, the tier provides additional benefits beyond standard MyPanera membership.
The current MyPanera program uses a straightforward points system:
Some purchases do not qualify for points, including taxes, fees, tips, catering orders, third-party orders, gift cards, Panera at Home grocery products, Panera Shop purchases and Sip Club subscription fees.
Panera currently has three MyPanera tiers:
This is the free membership tier. Members earn points on qualifying purchases and may receive benefits such as birthday rewards, select promotions and other personalized offers.
Spend at least $300 in qualifying food and beverage purchases during a calendar year to qualify for MyPanera+. Benefits include an enhanced birthday reward and bonus points on qualifying delivery orders.
Members with a paid Sip Club subscription can receive the benefits of MyPanera+ along with their Sip Club beverage benefits while the subscription remains active.
Before placing an order, check the Panera app or website for rewards and personalized offers. Panera can provide member-specific promotions, including occasional discounted or free menu items.
Panera may offer special promotions to MyPanera members on select Mondays. These offers can include free or discounted menu items and are added directly to eligible accounts.
Don't let your hard-earned points disappear. Points can expire after 180 days without qualifying activity, so check your balance and rewards regularly.
Panera regularly introduces limited-time menu items, seasonal promotions and member offers. That's why we're keeping this page evergreen instead of creating a new post every time a promotion changes.
