What Is DoorDash?

DoorDash is an on-demand delivery service app for local restaurants, grocery, convenience and other retail stores. DoorDash’s broad range of choices includes stores such as Aldi, Winn-Dixie, Target, Office Depot, Walgreens and PetSmart. Customers can also use DoorDash for pick-up orders.

DoorDash acquired food delivery service Caviar in 2019 and fortunately, the Chase benefit applies to Caviar as well. Caviar is solely a food delivery service and tends to feature higher-end local restaurants as opposed to the broader price range and choices seen on DoorDash. Users can sign into either the DoorDash or Caviar app to access their Chase DoorDash benefits once they’re set up.

What Is The DoorDash DashPass?

The DashPass is a subscription membership that provides the following money-saving benefits:

  • $0 delivery fees and reduced services fee on all eligible orders that meet the subtotal minimum as shown in the app (usually $12)
  • 5% back in DoorDash credits and no service fees on eligible pickup orders
  • $0 delivery fees and reduced services fee on eligible grocery, convenience and other orders that meet the subtotal minimum as shown in the app (usually $25)
  • Exclusive offers from select merchants
  • No order cancellation fees

Currently, DoorDash sells the DashPass for $9.99 per month or $96 per year with the annual plan and it’s only available in the U.S. and Canada.

If you regularly use a food delivery app, the savings and credits from DashPass can add up quickly.

DoorDash Benefits for the Chase Sapphire Reserve, Chase Sapphire Preferred and J.P. Morgan Reserve Cards

Chase Sapphire Reserve®, Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card and J.P. Morgan® cardmembers receive at least a free year of DashPass.You must activate this offer by Dec. 31, 2027 to qualify.

The benefit applies to primary cardholders and authorized users. The activation date for all users is determined by the first enrollment in the DoorDash benefit, resulting in the same expiration date for the primary cardholder and authorized users. This means if the primary cardholder signs up first and then an authorized user signs up two months later, the expiration date for both accounts will be 12 months after the first signup.

Sapphire Reserve and J.P. Morgan Reserve cardholders receive an additional benefit in that each enrolled DoorDash account will receive a $5 credit each month until Jan. 31, 2025. Unused credits can be rolled forward a maximum of two months up to $15 total.

DoorDash Benefits for Chase Freedom

If you hold a card from the Chase Freedom family, you’re eligible for three free months of DashPass, followed by nine months of DashPass at a 50% discount off the monthly rate, currently $9.99.

The DashPass membership must be activated by Jan. 31, 2025 to receive the benefit.

Either the primary cardholder or an authorized user can activate the benefit, but the benefit is only available to one cardholder per credit card at a time. That means if the primary cardholder has already activated the DoorDash benefit, it won’t be available to any authorized users on the account, unless the primary unenrolls from the benefit. At that time, an authorized user can use the DoorDash benefit, but the expiration of the benefit will be calculated based on the date of the initial enrollment.

This benefit applies to the following cards:

  • Chase Freedom Flex®
  • Chase Freedom®Student credit card*
  • Chase Freedom Unlimited®
  • Chase Slate Edge®*

DoorDash Benefits for Chase Co-Branded Cards

Most Chase co-branded cardholders and their authorized users are eligible for 12 months of free DashPass membership, provided the membership is activated by Jan. 31, 2025. The expiration date is 12 months after the first account enrollment. That means if the authorized user signs up first and then the primary cardholder signs up two months later, the expiration date for both accounts will be 12 months after the first sign-up. After the complimentary membership ends, members are automatically enrolled into a DashPass membership at the regular rate of $9.99 per month.
