My name is Trent and I've been the Panda Express editor at Coupons.com since 2021. My top tip after years of testing? Sign up for Panda Rewards. I'm a member myself, and the points stack up faster than you'd expect, especially when you tack on the free small entree they send for your birthday.
Panda Express offers cashback for various credit cards in case you're already a card-holder. This includes:
Discover it® Cash Back
Citi Custom Cash® Card
Capital One SavorOne Cash Rewards
Chase Sapphire Preferred
You can get up to 5% cashback on the Citi and Discover cards, versus 3% on the others. We wouldn't recommend opening an account to get the cards if you don't already possess them. If you do already have one of these cards, then definitely get your Panda cashback!
If you eat at Panda Express even once every couple of months, then the app is still definitely worth the download. You'll get lower menu prices at participating local stores, and skip-the-line-in-store pickup. It's free to download and free to use, so there's no real downside. For regulars, it's the quickest path to consistent savings.
This deal lasts for the entire day, following a Los Angeles Dodgers win at home.
Enter your email and sign up for the rewards program to get 25% off your first meal. If you have two email addresses, you can get 25% off on two different orders.
A 20% reduction is available on the first order placed at Panda Express when customers sign up using an email address. This offer applies only to new subscribers and is limited to one use per customer. It cannot be combined with other promotions and is applied to eligible orders during checkout.
When you get a five-person family meal, you'll save 23% on your total compared to the price of 5 individual meals. This family meal deal includes three large entrées and two sides.
Members can receive a free welcome gift when they join the rewards program. The offer is available to eligible new members and may require account registration or other qualifying actions. Gift selection and availability may vary, and certain locations or purchases may be excluded. Reward eligibility, gift availability, and program terms may change at Panda Express’s discretion.
What we like about signing up for the Panda Express email newsletter is that they only email you about important opportunities. Since we've signed up with them, we only receive notifications under two conditions:
When there's a new menu item dropping
When a limited-time coupon drops
For example, we received an email this summer in 2026, with a coupon for a free side. These kinds of deals only happen once every three or four months, so you'll definitely know when it's happening.
As a Rewards member, you'll earn ten Panda points for every $1 spent, then cash those points in for free food. You can start redeeming points once you hit 200, or $20 spent. Here are some examples of how much you need to spend to earn certain rewards:
$20 to upgrade to a premium entree
$30 for a free appetizer
$35 for a free medium drink
$75 for a free entree
This loyalty program is for those who routinely go to Panda Express for either you and your family. For instance, if you buy Panda Express once every week for you and your family, you'll spend $20 - $50 each week, which is enough for a reward every week.
Here's how I apply a coupon at checkout:
1. Add your meals to the cart.
2. Head to checkout and find the promo code box next to your order summary.
3. Paste the code and hit "Apply" — the discount should drop the total instantly.
If a code doesn't take, double-check the expiration date and any minimum order requirement listed on this page.
