Chase has expanded DoorDash benefits on several cards. As of August 2024, some cardholders will get several monthly discounts as well as DoorDash membership for varying amounts of time depending on your card.
The Deal
- Chase has expanded DoorDash benefits as follows:
- Chase Sapphire, Sapphire Preferred, and Sapphire Reserve cardholders can activate free DashPass through December 31, 2027 or a minimum of 12 months from the date activated (so if you activate in 2027, you’ll end up with DashPass for 12 months ending in 2028)
- Sapphire Reserve cardmembers with an activated DashPass benefit now receive:
- Two promos of up to $10 off at checkout each calendar month on non-restaurant orders on DoorDash.
- $5 monthly DoorDash in-app credit.. Through January 31st, 2025 that credit can be used on either restaurant or non-restaurant orders, but beginning on February 1, 2025, the benefit will become $5 off restaurant orders.
- Sapphire Preferred cardmembers with an activated DashPass benefit now receive:
- One promo of up to $10 off at checkout each calendar month on non-restaurant orders on DoorDash.
- Chase Freedom & Slate cardholders receive:
- Three months of free membership followed by nine months of discounted DashPass for those who enroll by January 31, 2025.
- Six free months of DashPass for new enrollees on or after February 1, 2025
- One promo of up to $10 off at checkout each calendar month on non-restaurant orders on DoorDash.
Quick Thoughts
If you live in an area that is well-served by DoorDash, this might add a nice convenience, though you’ll obviously not receive full value if you’re paying delivery fees and/or inflated prices. That said, I’m somewhat likely to try to make use of this on a pick up pharmacy or convenience store order each month, whereas Instacart wasn’t particularly useful for me. That said, I imagine that many folks might have preferred the Instacart credits. Either way, it’s good to see Chase make an effort to expand DoorDash and these benefits are especially nice on the Sapphire Preferred given that they could certainly help make a nice dent in the card’s annual fee if you value these DoorDash benefits.

FYI, the Freedom $10 credit is on a quarterly basis per Chase’s website.
If there is a way to use this for pickup orders for groceries, please let us know. I live in San Francisco and if one does delivery there is at least a $4.50 delivery fee, plus it is right to tip the person bringing it, so the $10 is eaten up in fees right there. With the Instacart $15 credit we always did pickup. Is that possible on this new Doordash $10 on a Chase Sapphire Reserve?
Thank you.
I think the freedom cards are quarterly, not monthly.
Does the $10 non restaurant credit rollover for 3 months like the $5 restaurant credit does now?
Hi Nick. Just a note about the functioning of the web site. I wrote a long post regarding the DoorDash offer and posted it. Then I noticed I had a typo and used the edit function (never used it before) and changed the word “Chase” to the word “Freedom.” My post was then marked “Potential Spam. Subject to moderation.” Then it disappeared. Not sure if the edit function is supposed to work that way or I just got lucky.
If I have a freedom flex and a CSP, how can I use both the promo discount? Do I need to create another Doordash account?
Can we stack this with the $80 for $100 gift cards from Costco?
Do these promos stack from different cards on the same order?
Same question
I’m seeing this as very positive move on my Sapphire Reserve! First of all with the free DashPass that comes with the Reserve there is no delivery fee on grocery for orders over $12 and no service fee for orders over $35 (at least in my area). I have an Aldi’s (smaller store with not a lot of national brands) in my area that has some unique products. They also have sale items and they are stackable with the new credits. Until February you can also use your $5 credit that we have been receiving on the grocery order (again stackable with the $10 credit). I won’t be doing my regular shopping there but will use it to buy sale and specialty items. I’m never insulted when a credit card company gives me a chance to shave off the cost of my annual fee.
In practice the $10 non-restaurant benefit doesn’t amount to much. First, I was unable to find any way to use this on a pickup order in my area, if that’s by design, then you’re stuck with delivery fees, tip, and inflated prices. So unless you’re just ordering a single banana, you’re paying more than $10. Second, there’s almost always some promo for non restaurant items, alcohol, grocery, etc… and it doesn’t seem like you can stack those with this benefit.
On a no AF card it’s a throwaway benefit, but when you’re paying $550 AF and they throw you these stale crumbs, I find it rather insulting. Why not a monthly credit added to your account balance like Amex does with Uber? My god, I can’t believe I just defended Amex coupon booking.
