El Pollo Loco Discount Gift Cards
How to use your El Pollo Loco gift card
Your discounted El Pollo Loco gift card works exactly like one bought at full price. In store, present the card or the eGift code at the register. You can also add the card to the Loco Rewards app to order ahead or online, but note that once the balance is loaded into the app it can only be used for in-app and online purchases, not at the register. If you want the flexibility to use it in store, keep the eGift code and do not load it into the app. If your total exceeds the card balance, pay the remainder with any other payment method.
How to check your El Pollo Loco gift card balance
Check your balance on the gift card page at elpolloloco.com, in the Loco Rewards app if you have loaded the card, or by asking at any El Pollo Loco location. Cards from Card Depot arrive with the full balance shown on your order, and it is worth checking when the card arrives so you can order with confidence.
Why a discount on El Pollo Loco adds up
Fast casual spending is frequent rather than large, which is exactly where a standing discount does its work. A family dinner or a couple of lunches a week adds up to real money over a year, and when every dollar you spend costs you less than a dollar, the savings compound across every order. Regular customers effectively give themselves a permanent discount that applies on top of whatever the menu already costs, with no coupon to remember and no exclusions to read.
El Pollo Loco promo codes vs discounted gift cards
Promo codes come and go, usually apply to one item or one order, and often exclude the things you actually want. A discounted gift card is different. The savings are locked in before you reach the register, they apply to anything the card can buy, and they stack with any promotion or app offer El Pollo Loco is running. When a code is available, use both.
Common questions
Do El Pollo Loco gift cards expire? No. El Pollo Loco gift cards have no expiration date and no fees, so you can buy at a discount today and use the balance whenever you like.
Can I use the card in store? Yes, as long as you have not loaded it into the Loco Rewards app. Once the balance is added to the app it is restricted to in-app and online orders.
Can I get cash back from my gift card? Gift cards are generally not redeemable for cash, though some states require retailers to cash out small remaining balances. Check your state's rules if you are left with a small amount on the card.
Can I use it with Loco Rewards? Yes. You can load the card into the app and still earn rewards points on your orders, keeping in mind the in-app restriction above.
