Amex just added a new temporary perk of “Unlimited Sip Club” at Panera that includes fountain drinks + charged lemonades. If this rings a bell, Amex and Panera had a 6 month promo last year with coffee, but this year it includes far more beverages for 4 months. Personally I think this is a much better deal, even though it’s shorter, since iced beverages are included. Personally, I’m addicted to Starbucks, but the idea of having unlimited iced drinks definitely made my hop on google maps to seek out the nearest Panera. Plus…who doesn’t like a good broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl? Bringing back those college day vibes for me.
