Panda Express Promo Codes — 35% Off

Joining Panda Rewards is free and takes about 30 seconds. Just provide an email address and password to create your account online or through the mobile app. You'll immediately get a welcome gift toward your first purchase, plus you'll start earning 10 Panda Points for every dollar spent. Members also get birthday treats, exclusive offers, and the ability to save and reorder favorite meals.

Panda Points expire after 365 days of no qualifying purchases. As long as you make at least one purchase that earns points within a year, your points stay active. This is much more generous than many loyalty programs that expire points in 90 days.

You can start redeeming Panda Points at just 200 points for a premium entree upgrade. That means after spending $20, you've earned enough points for your first reward. Other popular redemptions include 1250 points for a free Bowl or 1750 points for a free Bigger Plate.

Yes, you can typically earn Panda Points on discounted orders as long as you're logged into your Panda Rewards account when placing the order. The points are calculated on qualifying purchases, so you'll earn points on the items you buy, even if you used a discount code.

The Panda Express mobile app is completely free to download and use. You get the same low menu prices as in-store, plus exclusive app-only deals, faster checkout, and the ability to skip lines. The app has a 4.7 rating from over 140,000 users.

The Plate option is considered the best value for most people — it includes one side and two entrees, giving you variety without overwhelming portions. For bigger appetites, the Bigger Plate includes three sides and three entrees. For groups, family meals typically offer better per-person value than individual orders.

You can check your Panda Points balance by logging into your account on the website or mobile app. Your current points total and recent earning activity will be displayed in your account dashboard. You can also see how close you are to your next reward redemption.

Gift card policies can vary, but generally you can use Panda Express gift cards alongside your Panda Rewards points earning. Check the terms of any specific promotion to see if gift cards are excluded. You can buy digital or physical gift cards, and even reload existing cards with additional funds.

Panda Express doesn't have an ongoing student discount program, but they may run occasional promotions for students during back-to-school season. Your best bet for savings as a student is joining Panda Rewards for the welcome gift and ongoing points earning, plus watching for seasonal promotions.
