Chipotle doesn’t have a standing teacher discount. ID.me says it isn’t aware that Chipotle offers Teachers discounts, and the closest thing Chipotle does for teachers is an annual giveaway of free entrée e-gift cards. The way to pay less on a regular visit is cash back: Fluz lists 11% back when you buy a Chipotle gift card through it.

Chipotle is a restaurant chain with over 4,000 restaurants. It says it serves responsibly sourced, classically cooked food with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. You can find more places to eat in our food and drink discounts for teachers.

How To Get The Chipotle Teacher Discount

There’s no teacher rate to claim at the counter or online. What there is, is a giveaway during Teacher Appreciation Week. Teachers enter, and Chipotle randomly selects winners and invites them to verify their employment status through ID.me. Teachers who verify within 48 hours receive a free entrée e-gift card. Chipotle calls it an annual celebration and says it has given away more than $16 million in free Chipotle to teachers and medical professionals since 2016. The entry period for the latest one has ended, and you can’t enter now.

The route that works any day of the year is a gift card. Buy a Chipotle e-gift card through Fluz, earn the cash back, and spend the card on your order.

Cash Back Routes We Checked

Fluz is titled “Chipotle gift cards with 11% cashback.” It sells e-gift cards from $10 to $250, and the card works in store and online. The card doesn’t expire, so you can buy one when the rate is good and use it over several lunches. The rate can change, so look at the Fluz page before you buy. TopCashback doesn’t have a Chipotle page.

What You Can’t Get

There’s no teacher ID discount at the register and no code to type in. If a deals page told you teachers get a percentage off at Chipotle all year, that isn’t something Chipotle publishes. The giveaway is a random draw, not a guaranteed offer, so don’t count on winning one.
