When it comes to rewards programs, some brands understand how to reward customer loyalty. And during the summer months, Chipotle has proven that they can make the experience truly rewarding. With their Summer of Extras program you can earn more points towards free food and have plenty of fun doing it.

For 2026, it’s all about a more interactive experience, with a streak bonus that sees you earning a free entree once you hit seven visits in a month and even letting you compare yourself against fellow Chipotle lovers. Of course, that’s just one exciting way that Chipotle is rewarding customers this summer. According to the press release they shared, can earn points from “side quests,” track their rewards progress with badges, and even show off how they are doing with challenges and quests via social media.

The thing about this program is that it’s not just about bragging about your appreciation for Chipotle. It also lets you earn more points towards actual rewards. Rack up the points this summer and get free snacks and entrees. While the program runs June 1 through August 31, you can actually opt into the Summer of Extra program starting now. It might just make your wallet feel a bit better later on.

Things to pay attention to with this summer incentive:

– “Exclusive offers, including weekly Rewards Exchange promotions every Monday, starting June 8, that give members ongoing ways to maximize their rewards.”
– “A monthly streak where every purchase with an entrée counts. Members will unlock extra points as they go and cap off their streak with a free entrée or 1,625 points.”
– “Limited-time “Side Quests” to earn even more extra points.”

While the more interactive aspects of the program are where the fun happen, we really appreciate the fact that there are going to be multiple ways to build up rewards points. After all, we are all about saving money when we can.

What do you think of the return of the summer rewards program at Chipotle? Will you be taking advantage of this Summer of Extras experience?
