Updated on 6/23/20 to add the FREE coffee-all-summer deal, below.
Panera Bread is offering a hot deal for coffee lovers.
Someone once estimated that Americans spend the equivalent of $1,000 each on coffee every year. Does that sound like you? If so, you could drop your annual spending to $108 with Panera Bread’s coffee subscription program.
The service offers unlimited hot coffee, iced coffee, and hot tea (with unlimited refills of the same beverage each day) for just $8.99 a month at participating cafés — any size, any flavor.
Plus, you can redeem the perk once every two hours.
Bonus!
Sign up from between now and and July 4, 2020 and receive a FREE coffee subscription through Sept. 7, 2020.
NOTE that cold-brew iced coffee, espresso, cappuccino beverages, and other blended beverages are excluded from the offer.)
You must be a member of its MyPanera rewards program to subscribe to the coffee program. Then, the complimentary cup is added to your account as a reward — just redeem it at checkout or online.

According to Panera Bread, the monthly program pays for itself in just four visits — based on the purchase of four 12-oz. cups of coffee.
On the other side, if you took advantage of the benefits daily, it’s just under 30 cents a day for any size, any flavor of light roast, dark roast, hazelnut, decaf, iced coffee, or hot tea.
The subscription program is an industry first, so it will be interesting to see what the service stirs up among Panera Bread’s competitors.
