Dosh: Earn 48% Cashback For New Postmates Customers, 2% For Existing Customers

A few months ago Dosh added Postmates to the app and was offering 32% cashback for new customers and 5.5% cashback for existing customers. Those rates were increased to 40% and 6% respectively a few months ago but have since changed again.

The new customer rate has now been increased to 48%, but the existing customer rate has dropped to 2%.

The Deal

• Tap through to Postmates from the Dosh app and pay with a Dosh-connected card and earn the following cashback:
  • New customers – 48%
  • Existing customers – 2%
• If you’re new to Dosh, feel free to sign up using one of our referral links. We’ll earn $10 when you sign up and connect and verify your first card, but I’m not entirely sure what you’ll receive as a signup bonus. It used to be $5, then they reduced it to $1, but I’m not sure if it’s gone back up now or not.

Quick Thoughts

Earning 48% cashback on your first order is an excellent return. It’s nice to get 2% back on subsequent orders, although it’s a shame this is a lower rate than the 5.5%-6% cashback they’ve offered in the past. There are very few portals that offer cashback for existing Postmates customers, although I think the current highest rate elsewhere is 5% and so it’s worth checking your options.

The terms state that you have to pay with a Dosh-connected card, but I suspect that’s not enforced. I always earned 5.5% cashback when placing Uber Eats orders after tapping through from Dosh back when the app offered cashback for Uber Eats (that seemed to end a month ago or so), even though I paid with Uber Eats credits from our Amex Platinum and Gold cards. Those credits were preloaded to my account, so not paying with a Dosh-connected card didn’t seem to be an issue. Having said that, if you’ll be paying with a credit card for your Postmates order, you might as well add it to Dosh just in case this Postmates partnership is set up slightly differently.

I’m assuming that Postmates offers some kind of welcome offer for new users, but that’s perhaps only available when signing up via someone’s referral link. If that’s the case, choosing the best option between the referral offer and 48% cashback from Dosh will depend on how much that referral offer can save you and how much your first order would be.
