Tax season has Americans auditing everything, from forms and filing costs to extra charges that add up at the register. One of the most frustrating offenders? Paying extra for guac on entrees.
While many restaurants treat it as a premium add‑on, Qdoba says that enjoying a personalized meal shouldn’t come with an upcharge, which is why the brand always includes a free portion of fresh guac, handmade with always-in-season, always-good Avocados From Mexico on create-your-own entrees. This tax season, Qdoba has launched Tax Day Guac Relief to help you save even further.
Now through April 15, Qdoba invites Rewards Members to “file” for Tax Day Guac Relief. By taking a quick survey about a time they had to pay extra for guac on an entree elsewhere, Rewards Members can unlock a $5 reward to use toward any Qdoba full-size entree purchase.
“At Qdoba, we want guests to enjoy their meal without paying unnecessary charges for guac. That’s why we’re proud to offer free guac made with fresh Avocados From Mexico on our create-your-own entrees. This tax season, we’re offering our Rewards Members real Guac Relief they can taste,” says Jon Burke, chief marketing officer for Qdoba.
Spreading the Savings on Social
Qdoba partnered with nationally recognized personal finance educator Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First $100K, to spotlight the everyday charges people have come to accept and why they don’t have to.
Dunlap, a New York Times bestselling author and host of the “Financial Feminist” podcast with more than 4.6 million social media followers, is known for helping people make smarter decisions with their money through simple, practical actions. She’s encouraging fans to rethink any unnecessary upcharges for guac and file for Tax Day Guac Relief.
“Building better money habits often starts with questioning the small charges we’re told are normal,” Dunlap says. “Saving money doesn’t always mean big sacrifices; sometimes it’s about choosing brands that don’t nickel‑and‑dime you for things that should already be included. When little luxuries are free, like Qdoba’s guac on create-your-own entrees, that’s one less unnecessary cost to worry about.”
