Chipotle giving back-to-school freebies

August 29, 2016

Chipotle Mexican Grill is aiming to make heading back to school a little easier. During the month of September, high school and college students showing a valid student ID will receive a free fountain soft drink or iced tea with any in-store entree purchase, according to a press release.

"It can be tough when the end of the summer collides with the reality of heading back to school," said Chris Arnold, communications director at Chipotle. "We're filling — and refilling — students' cups at all Chipotle locations to celebrate the beginning of the new academic year."

Transactions that include the free student drink will count toward Chiptopia, Chipotle's loyalty program that rewards customers who make multiple paid visits to Chipotle each month with free food when transactions total at least $6, according to the release.
