1 Month Free Offer (New Subscribers)

Apparently, Panera Bread asked its Twitter followers if they wanted “free unlimited premium coffee all summer” as part of the company’s #FREECOFFEE4SUMMER Twitter challenge. If 500,000 people votes yes, then Panera Bread would do so:

Shockingly, the tweet received 500,000 “yes” within 3 days of it being posted with 87.4% of the Twitter universe voting for free coffee.

The Bottom Line

This would have been a screaming hot ninja deal in a “normal world”. Many people work near a Panera Bread and would’ve had multiple opportunities every day to enjoy coffee that is surprisingly good for a fast casual restaurant.

Still, it’s a great deal all things considered now with the world slowly opening back up. The fact that the unlimited free coffee is available for an entire month (or six months if you’re eligible for the Amex offer) makes it more valuable.

Be sure to cancel the subscription after the free period is over or you’ll be charged the $11.99 monthly fee.
