Free Chipotle burrito

[gilraen]

Text RAINCHECK to 888-222 before 6pm EST today and get a coupon for a free Chipotle burrito. (it's a PR move after all Chipotle restaurants nationwide closed for lunch today for an all-hands food safety meeting)

Thanks, E. coli!

Doesn't seem to work for me, it texted back with a link, but it just takes you to the original raincheck page.

update - you have to open it in a mobile browser, at which point it asks you for your phone number. I don't see why they couldn't just send the free burrito code in the first response. Seems shady now.

This is the URL it sends btw:

I think they are trying to keep people from getting multiple coupons. If you open the link on the computer, it strips the 20+ character code from the end of the URL. I opened the link on my phone browser, it asked for first and last name and zip code.

I got my free burrito text (supposedly good through 2/23). Hopefully it works!

Enjoy your burrito, of Lies!

Actually I like Chipotle better than its competitors. Their chicken (and tofu) has a nice flavor.

I usually do the 3 soft tacos. I've always liked the taste. But Qudoba has the cheese sauces. So it's pretty much a toss-up. I don't eat out much. But I'll eat at either one. We also recently tried a new chain, Cafe Rio. It was good, but there isn't one close by. So it's debatable that we'll go there much.

Speaking of Qdoba - I've always pronounced it "kuh-doba", and I don't think I've ever heard anyone pronounce it differently But I saw an add a couple days ago where they pronounced it something like "Q-Doba." Are people in other parts of the country pronouncing it that way?

[TheMix]

I think that around here (Colorado) I generally hear the latter. And that's how I pronounce it.

Well, I still don't like it.

In other news, my burrito of lies was delicious.

Cafe Rio is my favorite. It's just barely started expanding outside Utah the last few years. The pork barbacoa burrito enchilda style is delicious. Sadly I doubt cafe Rio is expanding to Maine any time soon. But my hometown in Montana has one now.

I'm sure you and your new gut-buddies enjoyed it, Fry.

Want me back, put some coupons in the Sunday paper or my mailbox. I have forsaken Taco Bell due to lack of beef, cheese, or guacamole in my last XXL grilled stuffed burrito.

[hepcat]

The only Taco Bell item I crave from time to time are their "Mexican Pizzas".

[gilraen]

I like Taco Bell but I don't like their guacamole, it's too bland and the texture is wrong...I actively avoid it (tried their "fancy" Cantina menu item once, never again). There are quite a few items on their menus that I'll order regularly (XXL grilled stuffed burrito is good...also quesaritos, crunchwraps, the new quesalupa, some other stuff) and breakfast.

[hitbyambulance]

Taco Bell is no longer the deal it used to be...

[El Guapo]

Every time there's a new post in this thread I hope it's about a new free burrito deal.

[Archinerd]

You may get your wish soon.

Chipotle is giving away more free burritos

[El Guapo]

Sweet!

Man, just think about how much volume they could do if their burritos were always free.

[em2nought]

At least Jimmy Johns had a customer appreciation day yesterday. Subs #1- #6 for $1.00, meanwhile no Chipotle love is forthcoming.

[hepcat]

Silly boy. Chipotle doesn't offer subs.

Text from Chipotle - Buy $25 in gift cards in-store before 10 Jun 2016 and get a free burrito on us.

FWIW the free burrito comes on your next visit (through June 30th).

Though I wonder if you could go in, buy a $25 gift card, leave, then immediately come back in and get a free burrito.

[hepcat]

If you put that much effort into acquiring a free burrito, you damn well deserve that free burrito.

Well, if that works, you could then try to buy the gift card then negotiate with the checkout clerk that you should just get the free burrito now rather than have to go through the process of waiting in line again. Then all you need to worry about are the other people in line punching you in the back of the head.

When chain restaurants do that "Buy $x in gift cards and we'll give you a $y gift card for yourself!" promotion, my dad buys them and then keeps them all.

[Isgrimnur]

Free money is free money.

I do that occasionally (depends on the restaurant). I wish Chipotle sent me that offer...I'd definitely eat there more.

Good news! Chipotle DID send you that offer, by posting it on their webpage.

I will also do that in this case, since my family is definitely going to spend over $25 at Chipotle in the future.

[gilraen]

Thanks for the direct link, I actually went to the webpage a few days ago looking for this offer and couldn't find it.

[em2nought]

What, folks don't believe a fella without a link? LOL

The girl on the register offered me the burrito I'd already ordered free on that order too, but I declined because I intend to use it on a double steak with guacamole instead of just chicken.

...and yes, you could walk right back in and get the free burrito also.

[em2nought]

double meat bowl with guacamole for free, Winning! Bought another gift card, so next one is free too. Winning!

I noticed my Chipotle got rid of the lemons at the drink kiosk. I also read somewhere that the lemon wedges in your drinks were something you should never get in a restaurant. Wonder if that was the source of their problems last year?

Yeah, the last time I went to a Chipotle you had to ask at the counter to get some lemon wedges, and they were each in a little lidded cup. Possibly to help from spreading something as you say.

[em2nought]

Chipotle is purposely hiring people with hands smaller than Donald Trump's so as to limit how much they put in my bowl.

On the plus side, they now have a rewards card available at the check out.

Ate at Chipotle four times in July, got a free Bowl which counts as a visit for August. Three more visits in August and it's another free bowl. Pretty nice since I'm paying with $25 gift cards that they gave me a free bowl to buy.

https://chipotle.com/chiptopia?gclid=CM ... gclsrc=ds# My free bowl is always the most expensive I can get, double steak with guacamole. Unless there's a more expensive bowl that I'm missing?
