As the government resumes allowing creditors to collect on student loan debt, there’s one pizza chain that won’t add to your money woes.

Domino’s recently announced it's giving away $1 million worth of free pizzas to those with student loan payments to make.

"Student loan payments have resumed for millions of Americans, and we wanted to help in our own way by using the power of pizza to do something nice for our customers," said Kate Trumbull, Domino's senior vice president—chief brand officer. "When life gives you loans, Domino's gives you free pizza."

According to the National Credit Union Administration, the U.S. Department of Education's COVID-19 relief for federal student loans has ended. Federal student loan interest resumed on Sept. 1,  and payments restarted this month.

Customers whose student loan debt payment have resumed can apply for one free medium two-topping pizza at dominos.com/student-loans. Domino’s will issue a limited number of Emergency Pizza for Student Loans codes per day and send customers an email with the free pizza code, which they can redeem on their next order placed within 30 days. The promotion will continue until the total reaches $1 million worth of pizzas given away.

The Student Loan pizza is in addition to the standard Emergency Pizza promo, both of which are part of Domino’s recently relaunched rewards program. The Domino’s Emergency Pizza promotion provides a free emergency medium two-topping pizza as a bonus for Rewards members placing a qualifying online order ($7.99 or more) until Feb. 11.

(And by the way, as of Oct. 31, the Biden administration had proposed a new plan to forgive student debt, which targets four categories of borrowers: those with federal student loan balances that exceed the original borrowed amount; those with loans that entered into repayment 25 years ago or more; those with loans for career training programs that led to “unreasonable debt loads or provided insufficient earnings”; and those who are eligible for forgiveness under other repayment plans but have not applied for it. )
