I'd rather save 100% on Panera by never eating there. Too expensive for what it is and what you get, IMO.

Maximize your savings by buying a Panera gift card at 20% off ('https://www.panerabread.com/en-us/gift-cards.html') and then getting 6% Apple Cash back on it.

Apple Card holders can also get 3 months free of Panera's Unlimited Sip Club

I keep trying to look at the US pricing. Their website keeps redirecting me to the Canadian site, and there's no Panera Bread shops available in my area, so just a "missing image" icon shows up. Is Panera the Starbucks of bread?
Panera is a Denny's pretending to be upscale.

A 6% discount at one of the most expensive food chains. Not bad.
