When the Chipotle IQ Test rolls around next year, be ready. We expect the promotion will return in mid-August 2026 with two 3-day periods over two weeks. The promotion (exclusive to rewards members) offers a BOGO free Chipotle entree (and other prizes) if you score a 5/5 on their quiz, which includes multiple choice questions, true or false questions, and write-in answers.
Here's what you need to know about the Chipotle IQ Test and how the codes work. Even if you don't win BOGO free burritos, we anticipate they'll have other prizes next year.

The Chipotle IQ Test is an annual game that gives rewards members a chance to win BOGO-free burritos.
Chipotle IQ Test is an annual promotion that's open only to reward members. Each player has a chance to win a promo code for BOGO burritos by taking a 5-question quiz. If you're not already a Chipotle Rewards member, you can join for free and take part in this year's Chipotle IQ test for free food.
Unlike years past, in 2025, Chipotle offered the promotion across two weeks (Aug. 12 - 14 and Aug 19 - 21). We hope that happens again next year.
KCL predicts the next Chipotle IQ Test will start on Aug. 11, 2026.
Based on what we saw during the last event, we predict Chipotle will start next year's first round of their IQ test on Tuesday, Aug. 11 with the second round starting on Aug. 18, 2026. If you're a Chipotle fan, this is your chance to prove your knowledge about Chipotle and hopefully win BOGO burritos. Here are our predicted dates and times for the 2026 Chipotle IQ Test promotion:
-
Tuesday, Aug. 11 - Thursday, Aug. 13 (9:01 a. m. - 8:59 p.m. ET)

Tuesday, Aug. 18 - Thursday, Aug. 20 (9:01 a. m. - 8:59 p.m. ET)

Look for hourly prizes to include the following:
-
6,000 BOGO free burritos

2,000 free Adobo Ranch offers and 2,000 free Queso Blanco offers
-
25 Chipotle Rewards points
You can redeem a winning promo code online or in the Chipotle app. Codes will likely expire within a week of the event.
How to Play the Chipotle IQ Test
You can take the test once a day. The Chipotle IQ test includes a mix of true or false, multiple choice, and write-in questions about Chipotle's "ingredients, leading food standards, culinary techniques, sustainability efforts, brand history, and community engagement."
To begin the IQ test, you need to visit ChipotleIQ.com and follow the instructions starting with entering the email address that's associated with your Chipotle Rewards account. Answer each of the five questions. If you answer them all correctly, you'll get a message on your screen with instructions on how you can claim your prize.
Each week, you can win up to three prizes (one of each).
You can win up to three prizes (one of each) across both weeks of gameplay. That means you can score one BOGO free burrito offer, one side (Adobo Ranch or Queso Blanco), and 25 rewards points in the first round and again in the second round.
Players who score a 4 out of 5 will receive 25 reward points to their account.
Chipotle will reward players who score a 4 out of 5 on the IQ test with 25 reward points sent to their Chipotle Rewards account (within 24 hours of playing). You can earn one bonus per day.
If you correctly answer 5 out of 5, but the food prizes are gone, you'll receive the 25 rewards points.
Always use the Chipotle app to earn freebies and get Chipotle coupons.
Members of Chipotle Rewards can get Chipotle coupons randomly sent to their account for restaurant freebies like free chips or guac. You’ll even earn 10 points for every $1 spent. Once you reach 25 points, you can start redeeming your points for freebies.
