DoorDash Promo Codes, DashPass & Fee Savings

1. Get DashPass if you order delivery regularly

   $0 delivery fee, lower service feeLow effortRegular delivery customers

   DashPass costs $9.99 a month or $96 a year plus tax, and gives a $0 delivery fee and a reduced service fee on eligible orders from DashPass stores once the subtotal reaches the store's minimum — $12 for restaurants and convenience stores, $25 for grocery. Twelve monthly payments come to $119.88, so the annual plan costs $23.88 less if you keep it all year. In California, Chicago, Colorado, DC, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York City, Puerto Rico and Seattle, DoorDash puts the service fee at 15% of the subtotal for most orders and 5% for most eligible DashPass restaurant orders.^{[1, 2, 3, 5]}

   1. Look for the DashPass icon under the store's name.
   2. Add items until the subtotal reaches the minimum — checkout shows how much more you need.
   3. Choose the annual plan if you expect to keep DashPass for a year.

2. Check whether your Chase card includes DashPass

   Free DashPass, plus monthly promos on some cardsLow effortChase cardmembers

   Chase Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Preferred cardmembers get complimentary DashPass through December 31, 2029 if they activate by the end of 2028 (a year from activation in 2029), while Freedom and Slate get 6 months, after which it renews at $9.99 a month. From October 1, 2026, Sapphire Reserve also brings a $15 monthly promo and two $10 monthly promos for non-restaurant orders; Sapphire Preferred brings one $10 non-restaurant promo a month. If you already pay for DashPass, activating the Chase benefit replaces that membership and the charges stop.^[6]

   1. Add the Chase card in DoorDash's own wallet — Apple Pay and Google Pay don't count.
   2. Activate the DashPass offer that appears for your card.
   3. Pay with that card, so the benefits and promos apply.

3. Students: take Student DashPass for about half the price

   $4.99 a month or $48 a yearLow effortUS college and university students

   Student DashPass costs $4.99 a month or $48 a year instead of $9.99 or $96, with the same $0 delivery fee and reduced service fees on eligible orders. You verify through SheerID with your name, school, date of birth and email, and each student can hold the plan on one DoorDash account only. Already on regular DashPass? Cancel before your next payment date and sign up for the student plan once the current cycle ends. The free student year DoorDash offered from August 17 to October 12, 2026 has closed.^{[3, 4]}

   1. Go to doordash.com/dashpass/student or pick the DashPass Student Plan in the app.
   2. Verify your student status through SheerID.
   3. Choose the monthly or annual student plan.

4. Start with a free trial if you've never had DashPass

   DashPass free for the trial periodLow effortCustomers who have never subscribed

   DoorDash offers free DashPass trials only to customers who have never had DashPass, free or paid, and only one per household. Cancel before the trial ends and you aren't charged, but your benefits stop straight away; let it run and you're billed $9.99 a month or $96 a year. If the first charge catches you out, the terms let you cancel within 48 hours of your first paid period for a full refund of the DashPass fee.^{[1, 2]}

5. Pick up the order yourself

   No service feeSome effortAnyone near the restaurant or store

   DoorDash's fee page says pickup orders have no service fee, and describes Pickup on DoorDash and Caviar as zero-fee ordering. If you're using a promotion, check which kind it is: DoorDash's terms say pickup discounts work only on pickup orders, and delivery-fee discounts only on delivery.^{[5, 12]}

6. Share DashPass with one other person

   A second person's benefits at no extra costLow effortMembers on standard monthly or annual plans

   Most standard monthly and annual DashPass plans let you invite one other person to share your benefits for free; they keep their own account, payment method and order history, and are never charged for the membership. Student, partnership (such as Chase) and corporate plans can't share, the person you invite can't have an active DashPass of their own, and you can swap who you share with once per calendar year.^{[7, 8]}

   1. In the DoorDash app, open the Me tab and tap Family.
   2. Invite one person and wait for them to accept.
   3. They'll see DashPass benefits on their own account.

Codes and offers kept by David Jones, who keeps this guide's deals current.

DoorDash's terms say its promotions can be limited to the customers they're offered to and may not be made public without its permission, so we don't list DoorDash codes. A code you've been sent goes in at checkout under Promo codes, rewards & gift cards; the savings above work without one.

1. No savings below the minimum

   DashPass benefits apply only at DashPass stores and only once the subtotal reaches that store's minimum; below it you pay the normal fees. On eligible orders a reduced service fee, taxes and tip still apply.^{[1, 4]}

2. A cancelled free trial ends at once

   Cancelling during a free DashPass period stops the benefits immediately, not at the end of the trial. You get one trial per household, and only if you've never had DashPass.^{[2, 11]}

3. Some credits expire after six months

   Promotional credits, referral credits and some customer-support credits are valid for six months from the day they're issued. Credits from DoorDash gift cards don't expire, but you lose them if your account is deactivated or deleted.^{[2, 12]}

4. Chase benefits need the Chase card at checkout

   The card-linked DashPass and promos only apply when the eligible Chase card is the payment method; Apple Pay and Google Pay don't qualify, and paying another way means the full delivery fee at a DashPass restaurant. Chase promos left unused in a month or quarter don't carry over.^[6]

5. Buy gift cards only from DoorDash or authorized sellers

   DoorDash won't honor gift cards bought from unauthorized resellers or auction sites, and lost or stolen cards aren't replaced. You also can't pay for a gift card with credits or promo codes.^[14]
