In early 2020, Chase and DoorDash launched a partnership, offering perks (including a DoorDash DashPass) for those with select Chase credit cards.
Up until recently, this partnership was supposed to run through the end of 2024, though there’s now a positive update, as it has been largely extended through 2027, as flagged by AwardWallet. Not only that, but there are also some new perks. Let’s go over all the details.
In this post:
What is DoorDash DashPass?
For those of you not familiar with DoorDash, it’s a delivery service available in hundreds of cities in the United States. DoorDash primarily offers food delivery from restaurants, but also offers deliveries from grocery stores, convenience stores, pet stores, and more.
DoorDash DashPass is a membership service that ordinarily costs $9.99 per month. This offers several perks, the most significant of which is $0 delivery fees on eligible restaurant and grocery store deliveries (generally you need to spend at least $12 with a restaurant or $25 with a grocery store). There is still a service charge, and on top of that you’re expected to tip.
Long story short, if you use DoorDash multiple times per month, a DashPass membership is probably worth it, since these fees are otherwise an average of $4-5 per order. Fortunately there are ways to get this other than outright paying, especially if you have a Chase credit card.
What DoorDash perks do Chase cards offer?
Several Chase credit cards offer DoorDash perks, which is pretty awesome. While so many credit card perks nowadays are temporary, at least this one is valid for several years. Let’s go over the perks that are available by card type.
Chase Sapphire DoorDash DashPass benefits
The Chase Sapphire Reserve® (review) and Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (review) offer a complimentary DoorDash DashPass through December 31, 2027.
The pass is also available for a minimum of 12 months, so if you wait all the way until 2027 to sign-up, the membership could potentially be valid into 2028 (assuming it’s not extended yet again). Even those who have the above cards but canceled their memberships are eligible to re-enroll.
On top of that, the cards offer credits and promos with DoorDash, though they vary.
On an ongoing basis, the Chase Sapphire Reserve exclusively offers a $5 monthly DoorDash credit for dining. This isn’t a statement credit, but rather you’ll see a $5 monthly credit in your DoorDash account when you link your card, and it will automatically be applied to your next eligible order. The credits only expire after three months, so in theory you could use a single $15 credit every three months, if you wanted to.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve also offers two $10 monthly promo credits for eligible non-restaurant DoorDash order, while enrolled in DoorDash DashPass (this is a brand new perk as of August 1, 2024). Only one $10 promo may be used per order, and they can be applied at check-out.
Meanwhile the Chase Sapphire Preferred offers the same $10 monthly promo credit, but only one, rather than two.
As you can see, in addition to the DashPass, the Chase Sapphire Reserve offers up to $60 in dining credits annually and up to $240 in promo credits annually for non-restaurant orders, while the Chase Sapphire Preferred offers up to $120 in promo credits annually for non-restaurant orders.
Chase Freedom DoorDash DashPass benefits
The Chase Freedom FlexSM (review) and Chase Freedom Unlimited® (review) also offer a complimentary DoorDash DashPass membership for a period of three months. This is valid for enrollment through January 31, 2025. It’s only for those who haven’t used the benefit before, and you can get a 50% discount for an additional nine months, bringing the cost for that period to under $5 per month.
On top of that, the Chase Freedom FlexSM (review) and Chase Freedom Unlimited® (review) offer one $10 quarterly promo credit for eligible non-restaurant DoorDash orders, while enrolled in DoorDash DashPass. Only one $10 promo may be used per order, and they can be applied at check-out.
Chase co-branded card DoorDash DashPass benefits
Several co-branded Chase credit cards are offering a complimentary DoorDash DashPass membership for a period of 12 months. Enrollment is required by December 31, 2027, and once enrolled, you get a one year DashPass. This is only valid for those who haven’t previously used the Chase DashPass benefit.
This feature is valid on the following co-branded credit cards:
- Aer Lingus Visa Signature® Card (review)
- Aeroplan® Credit Card (review)
- British Airways Visa Signature® Card (review)
- Iberia Visa Signature® Card (review)
- IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card (review)
- Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card (review)
- Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card (review)
- Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Credit Card (review)
- Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Card (review)
- United Club℠ Infinite Card (review)
- United℠ Explorer Card (review)
- United Quest℠ Card (review)
- World of Hyatt Credit Card (review)
On top of that, these cards offer one $10 quarterly promo credit for eligible non-restaurant DoorDash orders, while enrolled in DoorDash DashPass. Only one $10 promo may be used per order, and they can be applied at check-out.
How do you activate Chase DoorDash benefits?
The process of enrolling a Chase credit card for DoorDash benefits is quite easy. Just create a DoorDash account (if you don’t have one already). Then for your payment method, enter an eligible Chase credit card number. Once you do that, you should see the option to activate the above perks. There really aren’t many hoops to jump through.
If you do link a Chase Sapphire Reserve, the $5 monthly credit should also show in your account, under the “Payment” section of your account.
Bottom line
In recent years we’ve seen so many limited time credit card perks introduced. Obviously it’s a mutually beneficial arrangement, whereby credit card issuers can offer more perks, and other companies can get access to a lucrative customer base.
It’s nice to see the partnership between Chase and DoorDash not only largely extended all the way through the end of 2027, but also to see new perks added. Now there are not just credits for DoorDash restaurant orders, but also promo credits for non-restaurant orders.
Have you gotten value out of the partnership between Chase and DoorDash?
Between these new csr changes and amex gold changes I need a spreadsheet just to keep track of what I used every month.
Uber eats
Grubhub
Dunkin donuts
Resy, though every 6 months
Door dash restaurants
Door dash non restaurant
Instacart
Did I get everything???
I have a spreadsheet exactly for that purpose to ensure I use the credits on my Amex Platinum, Amex Gold, CSR, Hilton Surpass, United Visa (club passes) and IHG MC (United credits). Makes it easy to keep up with
DoorDash is a POS company with a POS general counsel who couldn’t make partner at Latham.
Use Uber Eats.
In many cities the three big platforms (DD, UE, GH) have somewhat different restaurant offers. Plus unless you have SavorOne, chances are you're probably paying for UberOne.
Their GC was never at Latham and she's been at DoorDash in-house for the past seven years. Plus no one should use DoorDash because you don't like their GC? Why are you consistently spreading misinformation on Lucky's blog?
It is trivial to verify that she was at Latham.
The misinfo is coming from you, DSK (short for Dick Sucker?)
No Paul he makes a good point. Your comments are neither accurate, insightful or humorous. So… why post?
Can you stack the credits/promo credits from different cards? For example, can you use 2x CSR $10 promo + 1x CSP (AU) $10 promo + 1x FF $10 promo + 1x FU $10 promo in a month (quarter for the Freedoms)?
Oh, never mind. It says that you have to use the same card as your DashPass. If you change your card, that card's benefits will apply - DashPass, credits, promos, etc. So it looks like no double dipping. :-/
If you have a Costco membership, you can buy $100 in credit for $80, getting a further discount of 20%.
Yeah, I’ve come very close to doing that but the one 1x vs 3x on the transaction made me question it. If you have the Costco credit card, I guess it’s a non-brainer.
I’m a huge CSR fan - in my 6+ years of having it, the insurance covered a stolen rental car mid-day off a busy street in SF, a minor rental car accident, and an overnight trip delay expense due to a missed connection. Being in Boston, the new Sapphire lounge in Logan is terrific. I always use the $5/month DD credit and free DP membership, but that is the “cherry on top” for the other card benefits.
But none of that (except lounge access) is unique to the CSR.
The CSP provides essentially all the same benefit, sans 2x vs 3x on travel. I downgraded to CSP following the PP restaurant announcement and haven't looked back.
The extra 25% off booking indie hotels on the portal saves me hundreds a year
This new non-restaurant credit basically replaces the GoPuff credit, so if you valued that, you probably will like this too. I'll at least see if there's anywhere near me to pickup from that qualifies before judging since that would mean lower fees and no tip.
Pick-up really does seem like the best way to maximize these credits.
