Chipotle Mexican Grill has introduced several marketing and loyalty initiatives in the United States and Canada.

In mid-August, the company launched ‘Chipotle IQ’, an interactive trivia game for rewards members offering over $1 million in prizes, including free food and a chance to win free burritos for a year. This was followed by a series of back-to-school promotions, including a ‘School Spirit BOGO’ deal for customers wearing school apparel and a ‘Chipotle Sundays’ offer for app and website orders. The company is also promoting ‘Chipotle U Rewards’, a loyalty program specifically targeting college students.
