Update 2/3/25: See our updated post for all the current details on the Chase/DoorDash partnership.
Update 2/1/25: These changes are now live.
Update 10/24/24: Just to clarify further – the new $5 credit starting February 2025 is a promo, meaning you can’t stack the credit month to month or with other promos.
Original Post:
Chase has partnered with DoorDash to offer DashPass and monthly credits to Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, Sapphire, Freedom, Freedom Flex, Freedom Unlimited, and Slate cardholders.
Chase Press Release | DoorDash Press Release
There are four potential benefits now available, variously on these cards (as we’ll describe more below):
- Free DashPass membership through December 31, 2027. (Those who activate the benefit in 2027 will still get a full 12 months of the benefit.)
- Two promo discounts of $10 each calendar month will reflect at checkout. This promo will not work on restaurant orders; it only works on grocery, convenience, or other non-restaurant orders on DoorDash. (To activate the promo discount benefit, you need to first activate the free DashPass benefit. After activation, you’ll find the $10 under “Promo codes, rewards & gift cards” at checkout.)
- A $5 monthly DoorDash credit which works for all DoorDash purchases. This ends on January 31, 2025.
- Beginning February 1, 2025, a new monthly benefit for a $5 discount on restaurant orders on DoorDash.
Now here’s the breakdown of the benefits by card:
- Sapphire Reserve cardholders get all four of the above-mentioned benefits. You’ll get DashPass through 2027. And through January 2025, you’ll get one $5 monthly credit which works everywhere and two $10 promo discounts each calendar month which work on non-restaurant orders. Starting February 2025, you’ll get one monthly $5 discount on restaurant orders and two $10 monthly discounts on non-restaurant orders.
- Sapphire & Sapphire Preferred cardholders get DashPass and the non-restaurant credit. You’ll get DashPass through 2027. And you’ll get one $10 promo discount each calendar month which works on non-restaurant orders.
- Freedom & Slate cardholders get a DashPass benefit and a quarterly discount benefit. Starting Febaruary 1, 2025, you’ll be able to enroll for six free months of DashPass. (Those who have not yet used the current/previous version of the DashPass benefit on Freedom and Slate cards have until January 31, 2025, to enroll in the current benefit – three months of free membership followed by nine months of discounted DashPass.) And you’ll get one $10 promo discount each quarter which works on non-restaurant orders. (To activate the promo discount benefit, you need to first activate the free DashPass benefit.)
Our Verdict
For some time now, DoorDash and Chase partnered to offer DashPass and $5 monthly credits on the Sapphire cards. They’ve now expanded this to add the $10 (2x) credits each month and to offer benefits on Freedom and Slate cards as well. This is obviously Chase’s move to counter-balance the loss of the Instcart benefits offered on Sapphire, Freedom, and Slate cards which expired yesterday (7/31/24).
This is all a bit confusing since some of these benefits have already existed and some are new. I tried making everything as clear as possible, hopefully we got all the details correctly.
Some stores will have a Pickup option on the order and then you’ll be able to get $10 completely free without the added delivery fees. For someone who values this benefit, the $95 annual fee on Sapphire Preferred can now be offset with the $10 monthly credits.

I have the old Freedom. I found how to activate it (under Benefits-->dining) but while it does mention "complimentary 3 months of DashPass on DoorDash and Caviar", when clicking the FAQ button (which takes you to the DD site), it says "When activated between 2/1/25 – 12/31/27: Free for 6 months" for Freedom and Slate - and mentions the $10.
So, it is three months or six months if you have the Chase Freedom card?
We are not getting free dashpass again, if we did subscribe using the same chase card a year or two back and I already got free dashpass back then, right?
So it looks like only one eligible Chase card can be in use and active on DoorDash to use these benefits. Before, if I recall correctly, I could add a CF, CFF, and CFU and each of those cards would get a quarterly credit. Now, however, it seems that only one card can have an active DashPass membership, and therefore, only one card can make use of the quarterly credit.
The upside, I suppose, is that after the 6-month DashPass free trial ends, you can, for example, remove the CF and add a CFU, and start the 6-month clock again, and also get the $10/Q credits.
Still, overall, kind of a pain in the ass.
Per terms:
11. If I have two Chase cards with a limited time DashPass, can I take advantage of a second free period after one expires?
Looks like it works at 7-11 in the NYC area for pickup. Delivery, tons of places of course including grocery stores.
I currently have both the Preferred and Freedom flex. My Doordash account is tied to the Preferred which I'm getting the $10 monthly non-food credit. I've added the Freedom flex as payment in Doordash but I do not see the quarterly $10 non-food credit?
You'd need two separate accounts I think. In order to use the monthly/quarterly credit, the card that gets the Dashpass benefit is the card that gets the credit.
The old instacart credit was so much better and easier to use.
This complicated coupon book crap needs to go.
If chase hadn't offered me a $150 retention credit this past cycle, my CSR would be gone.
No one else would probably admit this besides me but I was unaware of the CSR Instacart benefit before it ended so getting any deal through DD is a win for me!
7-11, pick-up. Right now sale of Haagen-Dazs 6 dollars each (so normal price). 2 pints of haagen for 2 dollars. Yes please.
I can do 7-11 pickup but it's a bunch of junk food. The instacart credit could be used for sprouts pickup which was real food and not processed crap
We have a Dashmart near us and can get produce and meat and other non-junk options.. That being said, last month I used mine for a $2.00 6-pack of Corona from the liquor store.
And I found the Instacart credit crap, had to spend more to use and the value of it once the upcharges were factored in was low. These credits are much simpler to use for me. Not everything works for everyone unfortunately. I always hated the good deals everyone was getting with GoPuff and it wasn't available to me.
Yeah probably highly location dependent. For instacart I had a sprouts near me with in store pick up at in store prices. So once a month I'd go get some free milk and eggs
The whole thing is too complex. I think the strategy is give people the impression they're getting a good deal on Door, so they'll keep using. But few will bother understanding, let alone doing, the hoops they need to jump through to get any benefit.
How is choosing a non-restaurant, adding $10+ of goods to your cart and then clicking on a checkbox on the Checkout screen hoops to jump through? Is your comment satire?
I live in a rural area with no delivery. I have wasted time looking for a pickup grocery for the $10 monthly. Absolutely nothing allows pickup in nearby cities.
Check your local Vons deli. Multiple near me allow to pickup deli items with no fees.
Vons is only in Southern California. They are owned by Albertsons Companies.
