How do I redeem my Panera Bread gift card?
At the bakery-cafe or drive-thru, hand your physical card or show the eGift PDF at checkout and the associate will swipe it at the register. For online orders on panerabread.com or in the Panera app — including Rapid Pick-Up, Curbside, and delivery — enter the card number and 4-digit PIN during checkout. Save the PIN for future in-cafe use, since it's also required for balance checks.Full redemption details for Panera Bread → How do I check the balance of my Panera Bread gift card?

Do Panera Bread gift cards expire?
No. Panera Bread gift cards do not expire, and there are no dormancy or inactivity fees that reduce the balance over time.

Keep the card and PIN stored somewhere safe, since both are needed for online redemption and balance checks.

Yes. During online checkout on panerabread.com or in the Panera app, enter the gift card number and 4-digit PIN as your payment method. The card works for Rapid Pick-Up, Curbside, and contactless delivery orders at participating cafes. Delivery typically requires an $8–$10 minimum order depending on location, and delivery charges are applied on top of the order total.
Can I buy a Panera gift card at grocery stores or third-party retailers?
Yes. Panera gift cards are sold in U.S. Panera Bread bakery-cafes, at panerabread.com, and through select third-party retailers including Walgreens, Costco, Sam's Club, and various grocery chains. Panera does not provide support for cards bought through unauthorized resellers such as discount gift-card marketplaces, so balance disputes on those cards must be handled with the reseller.
