Chipotle is one of the best-known Mexican fast food chains in the United States and internationally. Its popularity and growth have been such that it has more than 2,000 branches.
However, even with their enormous development and efficiency, they do not seem to have paid much attention to explaining to their users how to use their gift cards in their online purchases.
Can the Chipotle gift card be used on your website?
Yes, gift cards are issued both physically and online. When issued digitally, you can use them directly to place the order on the website.
It is enough to have the card affiliated with the account to use it for the desired purchases and payments.
What do I have to do to use the Chipotle gift card online?
As we have just mentioned, the first thing is to have the card funds within the account be used to place the order; you must add the card to the account.
Adding the card is relatively simple on the official website. First, locate the “Sign In” option.
Now enter your username and password.
Once inside the account, locate the payment methods section within the account profile, and add the card by entering its code where indicated. Once the card is added, you can start using it easily.
You must enter the web page and choose the order you are going to request, add it to your shopping bag, select if you will pick up the order in-store or if you want it to be delivered, confirm it with your data and choose the gift card as the payment method.
How do I check my Chipotle Gift Card balance?
When you don’t use the gift card for its full value, it will be very helpful to know the card’s balance to use again for another purchase or transfer funds if necessary.
To check the balance, you can use Chipotle’s online balance checker. When you log in to the balance checker, you must provide your credit cards numbers, such as your email address and phone number.
After you have entered all of the above information, just click confirm, and you will be able to see how much balance you have.
It is important to read the fine print where they tell you that when you provide your phone number and email address, you give Chipotle the authority to send the balance value to both and charge a fee for doing so.
Can I use the payment card and another method to pay for an order?
No, you can only pay when placing an order. Therefore, you must choose whether to do it in the traditional way or with the gift card; with both, you can not, at least not in a single order.
In situations where the balance on your gift card is not enough to pay for your order, you have two options: you can recharge the card until you have slightly more than the amount of the order or cancel directly at the restaurant.
If you go to the restaurant, you can ask the cashier to pay for part of your order with the gift card and the rest with the available payment method. But you cannot do it online, only in person.
On the other hand, when showing up at the restaurant is not an option, you can reload the card’s balance from Chipotle’s online option. However, it can take several hours for the money to arrive.
Therefore, it is best always to have enough money on the gift card, even if you don’t plan to use it very soon.
