The existence of the Celebrity Card has had mixed reactions from people. While in the case of Diplo, people have celebrated him using his card as a generous act, according to a report by Daily Dot, this was not the case a couple of months ago when Olivia Rodrigo’s old post about receiving a Chipotle Celebrity Card went viral. It created an outpouring of negative reactions against celebrities not having to pay for their food.
Other food chains have similar cards as well
Public opinion notwithstanding, celebrities continue to reap the benefits of their fame. There are many other chain restaurant companies which offer membership cards with similar benefits. Some examples are the McDonald’s McGold Card which according to McDonald's offers free food at their restaurants for life and Subway’s Gold and Black Card, which as per this report by Newsweek, is gifted only to influencers and celebrities.
