Chipotle’s gift card page sells cards and points to a balance check by phone or in a restaurant; it publishes no fee, no expiry and no minimum on the pages read, so this site prints none. Buying or reloading a card earns no rewards points, in the brand’s terms above; spending one does, when the purchase itself qualifies.

The customer service page has the brand’s own contact options for a card problem, including the cashback option.
