6 Ways You Can Get Free Food at Chipotle

If you’ve got a hankering for some delicious Mexican food but have already blown through your food budget for the month, don’t worry. I’ve got some tips on how to get free food at Chipotle, from reward points to promotional giveaways!

Chipotle App Rewards

Chipotle offers rewards to customers on their free loyalty scheme. In fact, you get free guac just for signing up, which is a pretty nice first bonus. It’s easy enough to do, too. Head over to the Chipotle website and earn 10 points for every $1 you spend. 

There are also special members-only deals you can take advantage of, as well as extra options for customers to complete ‘challenges’ for multiplied points. We got gamified Chipotle before GTA 6.

Points mean prizes - you can get guac for 500, double protein for 700, and an entree for 1625. If you’re a regular, you might as well get on it!

Take Advantage of Promos

If you’re a member of the Chipotle rewards program, exclusive offers will become available to you. However, there are multiple other options you should keep an eye on to maximise your free eats.

Follow your local Chipotle account on social media sites such as X or Instagram, as they’ll keep you updated on the latest deals and discounts. On days like National Burrito Day (April 3) or Halloween (October 31), Chipotle will regularly offer a special deal, like ‘buy one, get one free’, so bring a friend and make sure you remember the password shared on socials to get the freebie!

Chipotle also offers student discounts with a valid ID. It’s not free, but you can save a little money on your lunch.

Earn Money on Mobile

I often sit on my phone playing games to pass the time, and you can earn money for free by doing this. Money that can be spent on Chipotle. That makes it free Chipotle!

Here’s how:

You can cash out your earnings with multiple methods, including PayPal and Visa which can be used at the checkout with Chipotle.

Order a Vegetarian Meal

If you order the veggie option at Chipotle, you’ll get free guac, according to VegNews. It’s not a completely free meal, but if you’re getting Chipotle a lot, that extra guac really adds up over time.

Be the Best Regular

Sometimes, the staff at Chipotle will sort you out free of charge! It isn’t a guaranteed method, so don’t go in there with a smile and expect to get a free burrito every day, but if you build a rapport with the staff, they might just decide they like you enough to send you away without breaking out the card reader.

Get a Birthday Gift

Head to Chipotle on your birthday and you’ll get a free ‘surprise’! This is usually a free entree, so don’t forget to head over there and bring your ID to prove it!

Technically, the birthday freebies at Chipotle are members-only, so be sure to sign up to the rewards scheme before you go, so you can be sure to avoid disappointment on your special day.
