Chase & DoorDash Partnership Details (Free Dashpass, $10 Grocery, $5 Restaurant Credits)

Update 6/23/25: Not sure when this was added, but the INK Preferred card now also has the Dashpass benefit through 2027 and the $10 monthly credit, like the Sapphire Preferred. Update: note, you can only have one Chase card enrolled per DoorDash account, and so you can’t double the monthly credits with more than one Chase card on a single account.

Original Post 2/3/25:

We wrote about the partnership of Chase and DoorDash. Some of the details changed now in February 2025, and so I thought to review the current details in a single, clean post. (You can see the prior post and update versions here.) Let us know if anything needs further clarification.

Chase partners with DoorDash on various cards and offers benefits: free Dashpass, $10 monthly discount off non-restaurant orders, and $5 off restaurant orders.

1. Free Dashpass benefit –
   • The Sapphire cards (Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, and plain Sapphire) can activate free DashPass membership through December 31, 2027. (If Dashpass is activated during 2027, you’ll get one full year of Dashpass from the date of activation.
   • All Freedom card versions and Slate cards can activate free Dashpass for 6 months. Activate by 12/31/25 for a free six months. (Readers in the comments note that if you previously got 3 months DashPass from a card under the old promo system you will not be able to get this new 6 months promo. When a card number changes it always resets the promo eligibility.)
   • Chase co-branded cards such as Southwest, IHG, etc, etc, can activate free Dashpass for 12 months. Activate by 12/31/25 for a free 12 months. All Chase Co-Brand credit cards are eligible except the Amazon card, Instacart card, and DoorDash card.
   • Note: after the promo period you will be auto-enrolled in full price Dashpass if you don’t cancel it. This is not relevant for the Sapphire cards which get continuous benefit through December 2027, and apparently that will not auto-renew for a paid membership.
   • You can only have Dashpass active from one Chase card at a given time, and so you can’t double up on the discounts by having two Chase cards linked to the same DoorDash account. You can activate the Dashpass with a new Chase card after the old promo period ends, e.g. after getting free Dashpass for 6 months with A Freedom card, you can activate Dashpass with another Freedom or Slate card to get another 6 months.
2. $5 Restaurant credit –
   • Only the Sapphire Reserve card gets the $5 restaurant order discount credit. 
   • Credit comes on the first of each calendar month and can be used once during the month. There is no roll-over on this credit and you can not accumulate a few to use together (as was the case in the prior system). It’s just a flat once-per-month $5 credit toward restaurant orders, use it or lose it at the end of the month.
   • This $5 restaurant credit can be combined with other DoorDash promo codes. (You can only use one promo code per order, but this $5 discount comes as a separate line-item credit.)
   • To avoid delivery fees and tips, can look for restaurants that allow pickup.
   • To activate this $5 benefit, you need to first activate the free DashPass benefit. After activation, the $5 credit will show up as an option at checkout. Be sure to apply it at checkout.
3. $10 non-restaurant credit  – this credit is valid only for purchases outside of restaurants, such as at grocery and convenience stores.
   • Sapphire Reserve cardholders get two of these $10 credits each calendar month which can be used on two separate orders. You can not combine the two credits. You can not accumulate credits from month to month. It resets on the first of each month with two new credits.
   • Sapphire Preferred cardholders get one $10 credit each calendar month. Readers in the comments note that the Sapphire (plain) card is also getting this $10 monthly credit.
   • You can not accumulate credits from month to month. It resets on the first of each month with a new $10 credit.
   • The various Freedom cards, Slate, and Chase co-brand cards get one $10 credit each quarter. You can not accumulate credits from quarter to quarter. It resets on the first of each quarter with a new $10 credit.
   • This $10 credit can be combined with other DoorDash promo codes. (You can only use one promo code per order, but this $10 discount comes as a separate line-item credit.)
   • To avoid delivery fees and tips, can look for stores that allow pickup.
   • To activate the $10 benefit, you need to first activate the free DashPass benefit with the card. After activation, the $10 credit(s) will show up as an option at checkout. Be sure to apply it at checkout.
   • If the full $10 is not redeemed on a single order, the remaining value will be forfeited.
