If you’re looking to save some dough on the Panera Bread gift cards, now’s the time to stock up. Whether the gift cards are presents for others or just to treat yourself, it’s not often you can buy a gift card at less than face value. Plus, as many bargain hunters know, the popular fast-casual eatery is not known for offering many discounts or specials, so this sale is definitely a big deal.

With no minimum purchase required, save 20% on gift card purchased online — from July 20 to September 5. The offer is only valid online — not in-restaurant.
The offer applies to both plastic and digital gift cards. However, if you choose plastic, expect to pay a nominal shipping fee.
If you already have a Panera Bread gift card, the offer also applies to reloads made online.
If you’re a regular at Panera Bread, it might be wise to “pre-pay” for lunches and coffee breaks months in advance. For example, a $100 gift card will now only cost $80. That’s just like getting a few bonus sandwiches at no cost.
