Yesterday I was in Panera Bread in North Little Rock, AR and I gave her my Panera card and she said there was no record of it. She gave me a new card and told me to register online. When I tried just now they told me there was already a card attached to that e-mail. It’s MY email and now I don’t get to use either card. What should I do?
Once you’ve registered a MyPanera card, you cannot register another with your account information or change the card number listed on your account.
With MyPanera, there is actually no need to carry a plastic card. You can simply visit the bakery-cafe and provide your phone number verbally, or by typing it on the key pad in front of the registers. This will credit your account for your visit and allow you to redeem rewards exactly as swiping your card did.
If you prefer to carry a plastic card, associates in their bakery-cafe have the ability to transfer your MyPanera account to a new card for you. They’ll just need your current account number, which can be found by and signing in to your MyPanera account online and viewing your account information.
