What a Chipotle gift card gets you
Beyond paying at the counter, the same card covers the full Chipotle ordering surface: the Chipotle app, chipotle.com, in-store kiosks, and drive-thru Chipotlanes — including Quesadillas, large catering orders, and the build-your-own bowls and burritos. Unlike a bank-issued Visa or Mastercard gift card, there are no activation or per-use fees, and the balance never erodes from dormancy charges. One detail trips people up: a gift card pays for the order, but you have to scan your Chipotle Rewards QR code separately to earn points on that same meal.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a card carrier. $5 to $500 per card via chipotle.com.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable in the app, online, or scanned in store. $5 to $500 per card via chipotle.com; $25 to $200 via Dyme. Can be loaded into the Chipotle app for tap-to-pay.
You can load multiple gift cards into a single Chipotle account or stack them on one order in the app, with no documented cap on how many.

Can I get a Chipotle gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Chipotle e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Costco or Sam's Club, in store and online. Multi-pack Chipotle gift cards run a few percent below face value — a common deal is a pack of cards for less than their combined value. Stock rotates and club membership is required.
- Chipotle's own seasonal bonus-card promos. Around the holidays and back-to-school, Chipotle periodically gives a free bonus e-gift when you buy a gift card above a threshold. The bonus is effectively a discount on future spend.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold gift cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Chipotle Rewards points when you redeem, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single Chipotle gift card purchase through Dyme.
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses.
Free to join. Earns at redemption, not on the gift card purchase.
Chipotle Rewards does not earn on the gift card purchase. It earns on the meal when you redeem the card, as long as you scan your Rewards code at checkout — at the same rate as paying with cash or credit. Program terms →
Earn 1 Mile for every dollar you spend, and 5 Miles per dollarduring special offers — the layer the other channels can't match.
Illustrative only. Card rates, brand-program terms, and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

How to buy on chipotle.com
- Go to chipotle.com/gift-cards.
- Choose physical or e-gift, then pick a design and the amount.
- Add to cart and check out. Watch for seasonal bonus-card promotions, where Chipotle adds a free bonus e-gift above a spend threshold.
How to buy in store
Any Chipotle restaurant sells physical gift cards at the register. Tell the cashier the amount you want, pay with cash, credit, or another gift card, and walk out with the card. You can load any whole-dollar amount, typically from $5 to $500.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club regularly sell multi-pack Chipotle gift cards at a discount — a bundle priced below the combined face value. Stock and pricing rotate. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, and Stop & Shop carry $25, $50, and $100 cards at face value. You pay no discount there but earn the supermarket's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.

Physical cards: multiple designs in the Chipotle online catalog, including seasonal and holiday options. A card carrier and a personal message are available at checkout.
E-gift cards: multiple designs, customizable subject line, and a recipient message.
There is no co-branded option for individual purchase. For bulk and corporate orders, see corporate ordering below.
