Chipotle Launches its 'Extra Sunday' Offering

— January 28, 2025 — Lifestyle
Chipotle is introducing the ‘Extra Sunday’ promotion, providing Chipotle Rewards members with special offers. On Monday, February 10, members can "receive a complimentary Guacamole and Queso Blanco with the purchase of any entrée by applying promo code 'EXTRA25' at checkout."

This promotion is available exclusively through the Chipotle app and Chipotle's website: It is the brand’s first offer allowing customers to receive both Guacamole and Queso Blanco free of charge in a single transaction.

The ‘Extra Sunday’ initiative is aligned with ongoing discussions about recognizing the Monday following a major football championship as a national holiday. Additionally, Chipotle is "organizing a game day activation, in which up to 50,000 free entrées will be distributed to viewers of the championship game." This initiative is part of the brand’s broader engagement strategy, offering promotions tied to widely followed events.
