Chipotle has a new rewards program for
college kids, with an Urban Outfitters deal also tagged to that cohort.
Beginning today, the Chipotle U Rewards program is available “to recognize and celebrate students at various
milestones of their higher education journey.” Registered students will be eligible for “surprise drops during finals, game days and graduation giveaways,” as well as earning 1,000
bonus points upon enrollment and 20% more points on every purchase towards free Chipotle meals.
The brand claims to be the “first major national restaurant brand to launch a loyalty
program for college students.”
“Chipotle has long been a go-to destination for students' celebratory meals, and now members will be given special offers that tie to specific
milestones throughout their college journey,” says Curt Garner, president, chief strategy and technology officer, Chipotle.
