Chipotle Mexican Grill wants you to join the ranks of its superstars

The fast casual chain based in Newport Beach is reaching out to Gen Z by taking applications for its celebrity card, reserved for elite influencers.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is taking applications for its “celebrity card,” a somewhat mysterious perk the Newport Beach company says it has been bestowing by invitation for more than 20 years.

The perk has been offered to “brand superfans who are athletes, artists, musicians, or influencers” since 2003, according to a news release. Now folks can apply for it through July 3 on Linkedin, the employment media platform.

To apply, go to Linkedin Easy Apply to make their case by submitting creative content that proves their worthiness in the “Resume” section of the application. It could be a photo, video, artwork, essay, poem, original song or something else, the news release said.

As many as five winners will be selected and contacted via email.

Celebrity Card holders have access to one free Chipotle meal per day for a year and one catering order for as many as 50 people, the news release said.

Linkedin is a good way to reach Gen Z, according to Chipotle, which called it the fastest growing demographic on the platform.
