Panera Bread Co. accepts the GGF Visa.

Panera Bread has its own gift card, but you cannot put the gratuity on their store brand gift card. So we thought it was worth mentioning that when you pay your dine-in, carry-out, or delivery bill you can put the tip on a GGF Visa with no problem. 

Remember, that when you use the Five Back Gift prepaid Visa debit card at Panera Bread, it will trigger a 5% promotional load (think rebate or rewards) that will be credited to your Visa’s balance a few days after the purchase.  Panera is one of Five Back Gift’s fifty or so merchants who earn rewards for your Visa card.  So don’t shred those empty Visas for at least a couple months after last use.  Then always check the balance before shredding.

Also, since Panera Bread rebates 8%, it’s always a better deal for you to pay for your Panera gift cards online using PrestoPay, than it is to pay by cash or check at the Gene Grawe Fund office.

Finally, the Panera gift card is reloadable. So don’t forget to pickup a RELOADABLE label from the Gene Grawe Fund office to stick on your Panera gift card. It’s less likely to be thrown away by a cashier when it’s empty.
