Chipotle - Pay with ETH via Flexa and Get 99.95% Off Your Order

+23 Deal Score
48,020 Views
I haven't used Flexa before to make payments so can't speak to its ease of use and any fees, but figured other folks might be interested in this. I already have small amounts of ETH sitting in some other wallets and was probably going to take advantage of this promotion later in the week if it was still running. The promotion mentions the new garlic guajillo steak protein, but as far as I can tell any item(s) qualify. Limit 1 transaction per account, max $20 discount.

Did people get errors like "this account has zero balance or cannot spend" after initially sending the money? Might have to wait a bit. Sent .001 eth from coinbase And I see it in the account
any updates? Im stuck in this process, Ive been waiting for a while now with over hundreds of confirmations on eth but nothing on my spedn wallet yet

Just got two burritos! The only snag was Coinbase minimum ETH to transfer was 0.001 (about $1.20). Not sure how people here were transferring less.
And that's plenty to cover it?

Yes, the promo gives you $20 off any order (you pay $0.01 + any amount over $20). You don't even have to order the garlic guajillo steak.

I believe the cashier needs to set the register for gift card before you scan your barcode.

From what I've read, the Flexa wallet (SPEDN app) just needs any amount of ETH to be sent to it to activate the $20 Chipotle GC as a QR code.

So, it really just depends on your ETH source wallet, which may have a minimum amount required for sending (e.g. Coinbase with 0.001 ETH).

Then, it just becomes a waiting game for the send transaction to complete.

Once done, you physically head out to Chipotle, order your meal and provide the QR code from the Flexa (SPEDN app) to discount the cost by $20. (Those who have done it, please correct me if I'm mistaken).

That's it, that's all. (Oh, and apparently it's one per Flexa (SPEDN app) wallet).

*** Follow up ***

Worked like a charm to see the QR code in SPEDN app enabled for the $20 Chipotle GC, albeit it took about 20 minutes to do all the steps.
Off to Chipotle we go!

** Edit **

Chipotle I visited didn't know what to do with it. Scanning as a gift card didn't reduce the price either. Not sure if there's a procedure that has to be followed or if the whole bill needs to be covered by the SPEDN ETH balance. Oh well, hope others have better luck and can provide data points on how they redeemed it.

If you get chips, make sure you buy the dip
The chips at Chipotle are 10/10. Their queso blanco and various other dips, though? Vile. 0/10. The only decent dips they have is guac or pico.

I generated the QR code a few hours before visiting Chipotle. When they scanned the QR code, it was coming back as a gift card with 0 balance.

I then regenerated the QR code at the register, and then it finally took off the $20. Looking at the receipt, I could see the gift card numbers were different between the 2 codes, the first with 0 balance, the other with $20.10 balance

Moral of the story, only generate the QR code at purchase time

Ah, that could be the issue then. I was keeping the QR code generated screen on from when I confirmed successful transfer of ETH until I reached the store.

Guess I'll try again tomorrow when I'm at the register.

Thanks for your update!

When are people going to realize that beef is the #1 worst thing for the environment? Does anyone even care? https://www.vitacost.com/blog/wor...vironment/
beef is also literally one of the most nutritious and healthy things on the entire planet to eat.
I care about the environment, but to be frank, food production is the least of anyone's worries. Most environmental damage comes purely from rich people, id rather sacrifice the worlds elite than my health and diet.

Just downloaded the SPEDN app. Clicked on the QR code on top right, shows a "Missing Asset" error. Then on the bottom I can see the places to pay. Chipotle shows up with the following line: "Proof of Steak promo has ended".

Anybody seeing this? I'm wondering if it's correct. I haven't transferred any ETH funds yet.

Wow, not just that, apparently a minimum balance of "$5" would have been required. Guess these guys got my ~10c worth of eth.

Quote from Torque1224 :
Transferring ETH is not a good idea since it will be expensive with the fees, unless you are doing it for some other purpose and this deal is just a bonus.

Even transferring from a wallet will incur Gas cost.

Plus you'll also have to check yes on the box on your 1040 and you'll have 87,000 agents arriving at your door to confiscate your $1 of crypto.
