What Chipotle Says

"Back-to-school season is all about showing your school spirit and getting back into the routines that make the week feel a little easier.

Quick Summary

FAQ

1. Can I use the School Spirit BOGO for online pickup?

No. This deal is in-restaurant only. You must wear your school gear and order at the counter.

2. Do I need to be a student to get the School Spirit BOGO?

No! Anyone wearing school apparel or accessories (parents, alumni, fans) can participate. The crew just needs to see the gear.

3. Can I use the Chipotle Sundays code more than once?

You can use it once per Sunday (on each of the three dates), but only one free entrée per order.

4. What counts as an "entrée"?

Entrées include burritos, bowls, tacos (3-count), quesadillas, and salads. Chips, drinks, and sides don’t count toward the "buy 2" requirement.

5. Does Chipotle U Rewards work for high school students?

No – it’s for college students only enrolled in a verified higher education program.

Final Thought

Chipotle’s back-to-school deals make it easy (and affordable) to fuel up for busy weeks ahead. Mark your calendar, grab your school tee, and don’t forget the code SUNDAYS – free burritos taste better when you’ve earned them!
