What Can You Redeem Your Points For?

Redeem points for free food, merchandise, or charitable contributions. Members can exchange points for menu items, Chipotle Goods like apparel, or donations to nonprofits, according to Chipotle’s Rewards terms. For example, 350 points unlock chips, while 1,625 points cover a burrito or bowl. A Reddit thread from June 2023 highlighted that entrees offer less value per point compared to sides like guacamole (400 points).

Special promotions, like “Freepotle” events, provide bonus rewards such as free queso or drinks. Members can also participate in app-based challenges to earn extra points or badges, per Chipotle’s 2021 Rewards Exchange update. Rewards must be used within 60 days of redemption.
