[Update 3/12/19: Rewards program launched nationwide today. I believe the 15x for app orders is no longer a thing, so I’ve crossed that out.]
Update: Confirmation that the purchase doesn’t need to be in one of the select cities to earn points. Just set your zip to one of the eligible cities below to start earning points.
Chipotle is the latest restaurant chain to launch a rewards program. Currently the program is only available in Kansas City, MO/KS; Phoenix, AZ, and Columbus OH. Users outside of that area can join the waitlist for the beta program. You can actually just change your zip code in app and it will let you sign up, not sure if purchases outside those cities earn points or not. Chipotle has previously had a limited time rewards program called ‘Chiptopia‘. The new program works as follows:
- Earn rates:
- 10x points per $1 spent in restaurant or on catering
15x points per $1 spent when you order online or with the Chipotle app
- Redemption rates:
- 1,250 points = free entree
- Sign up bonus: Free chips and gauc after first purchase
- Free reward after entering your date of birth
This means you need to spend anywhere from $125 to earn a free entree. I guess it’s better than nothing, but not that exciting. It also looks like after earning 1,250 points you have 60 days to redeem for a free entree otherwise it expires.
