If you’re a burrito fan, this is for you — now you have the chance to win free burritos from Chipotle.
The popular restaurant chain has announced the launch of its “Summer of Extras” program, through which it will be giving away over $1 million worth of this beloved dish. Here’s how you can participate to claim yours.
How can I get free burritos at Chipotle?
“Summer of Extras” is a three-month program exclusively for Chipotle Rewards members in the United States, so you’ll need to sign up in order to participate. From June 1 to August 31, Chipotle Rewards members who enroll in the “Summer of Extras” promotion will be able to earn bonus points and unlock exclusive badges by completing up to four challenges each month. They’ll also be entered into sweepstakes for a chance to win free burritos for a year and a limited-edition stainless steel gift card.

At the end of summer, one winner will be selected from each of the 48 states where Chipotle operates, plus Washington D.C., for a total of 49 winners. Each month during the campaign, enrolled members will have the chance to complete the following milestones:
- Milestone 1: After purchasing one entrée, you’ll receive 50 bonus points, five sweepstakes entries, and an Extras badge.
- Milestone 2: After purchasing two more entrées, you’ll get 100 bonus points, ten sweepstakes entries, and another badge.
- Milestone 3: Buy two more entrées and earn 200 additional points, fifteen sweepstakes entries, and another badge.
- Milestone 4: With two more entrée purchases, you’ll unlock 300 bonus points, thirty sweepstakes entries, and a final badge.
But that’s not all. Each week throughout the summer, Chipotle will randomly select 10,000 rewards members to receive a free burrito. To enter, all you need to do is sign up for “Summer of Extras” and make any entrée purchase — in-store, on the app, or online.
What is Chipotle Rewards?
It’s the company’s loyalty program. You’ll earn 10 points for every $1 spent at any of the chain’s restaurants, as well as for orders made through the website or the official app. You can also earn points faster by completing challenges.
Once you accumulate points, you can redeem them for rewards, such as free menu items or exclusive brand products. When you sign up, you’ll also receive a welcome gift, special birthday rewards, and exclusive offers for members.
