Chipotle announced Monday a new three-month program that will give away more than $1 million in free burritos to Chipotle Rewards members this summer.
The program, called "Summer of Extras," will run June 1 through August 31 and will give Chipotle Rewards members who opt in extra points and exclusive badges for completing up to four milestones per month. Additionally, the program will reward members who complete the milestones sweepstakes entries for a chance to win free burritos for a year and a limited-edition stainless steel gift card.
According to the fast casual restaurant chain, each month during the program, Chipotle Rewards members who have opted into the program can earn the following milestones:
- Milestone One: After the purchase of one entrée, 50 bonus points, five sweepstakes entries and an Extras badge.
- Milestone Two: After the purchase of two more entrées, 100 bonus points, 10 sweepstakes entries and an Extras badge.
- Milestone Three: After the purchase of two more entrées, 200 bonus points, 15 sweepstakes entries and an Extras badge.
- Milestone Four: After the purchase of two more entrées, 300 bonus points, 30 sweepstakes entries and an Extras badge.
Once rewards members opt into "Summer of Extras" in their account, they will unlock the seven-visit streak challenge described above, Chipotle said in a news release, adding that "milestones reset at the beginning of each month, giving guests more opportunities to earn extra benefits, extra points and extra free Chipotle all summer long."
Participants are limited to two qualifying entrée purchases per day during the program, Chipotle said.
Chipotle is also keeping track of Chipotle Rewards members' performance in the "Summer of Extras" program with a dashboard that tracks transactions and how many restaurant locations users visit during the summer.
