Likely Deals and Specials for April 20251

Panda Rewards Program Offers Joining the Panda Rewards program (free to sign up) earns you 10 points per $1 spent on qualifying purchases. At 200 points, you can redeem rewards like free entrees or sides. New members often get a welcome gift, such as 25% off their first order, which could apply in April if you sign up then. Monthly "Good Fortune Gifts" (e.g., bonus points or free items) are also common for members and may continue into April. Family Meal Deal The Panda Family Meal, priced around $30-$35 (depending on location), includes 2 large sides and 3 large entrees, feeding 4-6 people. This is a staple deal and is likely to remain available in April. Look for potential promo codes like “FAMILYMEAL” or similar for additional discounts, as seen in past promotions. App-Exclusive Offers Downloading the Panda Express app often unlocks exclusive deals, such as free sides or entrees with a purchase. Historically, app users get first access to limited-time offers, so check the app in early April for new specials. Past examples include a free small entree with a plate purchase. Seasonal Promotions April might feature spring-themed deals, such as discounted bowls or buy-one-get-one (BOGO) offers on entrees, similar to past seasonal promotions. While not confirmed, Panda Express often ties specials to holidays or events—Easter (April 20, 2025) could bring a themed deal like a free appetizer with purchase. Military and First Responder Discount Panda Express consistently offers 10% off in-store orders for military personnel, veterans, and first responders with valid ID. This isn’t April-specific but is a reliable way to save all month. Receipt Survey Offer Save your receipt from any Panda Express purchase! Completing a quick survey (usually printed on the receipt) often nets you a free small entree with the purchase of a plate on your next visit. This ongoing perk should carry into April. Potential Limited-Time Offers $5 Plate Deal Speculation: A post on X from March 25, 2025, asked if a $5 plate deal was returning on Thursday (March 27). While there’s no official confirmation for April, Panda Express has run similar promotions (e.g., $5 plates at select California and Nevada locations in 2024). Keep an eye on their website or social media in early April for announcements.
Gift Card Bonus: In past years, buying a $30+ gift card has come with a free bowl or similar perk (valid through dates like February 14, 2025, in prior promotions). A new gift card deal could launch in April—check pandaexpress.com/promotions. How to Stay Updated Official Channels: Visit pandaexpress.com or follow @PandaExpress on X, Facebook, or Instagram for real-time updates on April specials. Coupon Websites: Sites like RetailMeNot, CouponFollow, or Slickdeals often list current promo codes. As of March 31, 2025, codes like “DODGERSWIN” ($5 off a plate) are popular but may expire—new ones could emerge in April. Email Newsletter: Signing up for Panda Express emails might score you an instant discount (e.g., 20% off) and alerts on April deals. Tips to Maximize Savings Order online or via the app to apply promo codes easily. Check your local Panda Express, as some deals vary by region. Combine rewards points with survey offers for extra value. Since it’s still March 31, 2025, definitive April specials aren’t fully locked in yet. I recommend checking back on April 1 or later for the latest announcements directly from Panda Express!
