You can subscribe to DashPass at any time. Once you choose to do so, DoorDash will charge your credit card $9.99 a month, whether or not you ever order anything on the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, after you subscribe and start ordering food, you\u2019ll see how quickly DoorDash DashPass members can make up the difference and come out ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the example order below, regular fees would have been:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- $3.99 delivery fee<\/li>
- $8.51 fees & estimated tax<\/li>
- Total: $12.50<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWith a DoorPass subscription, the DashPass benefits reduce the costs as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- $0.00 delivery fee<\/li>
- $5.04 fees & estimated tax<\/li>
- Total: $5.04<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Basically, on this one order all you\u2019re really paying is sales tax and whatever tip you would like to give to your dasher. In a single order, you\u2019ll have already saved about half of the monthly subscription fee thanks to the DashPass perks..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a few important limitations to keep in mind before you decide to sign up for the DoorPass service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- The restaurant you\u2019re ordering from needs to accept DoorPass (most do).<\/li>
- You need to order at least $12 of food or $25 worth of groceries to get the discounts.<\/li>
- You\u2019ll need to order from DoorDash at least three times per month to get your fee back in savings.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You can also reduce the cost of DoorPass by paying for the subscription annually, which drops the cost to only $8 per month (saving you $1.99\/mo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Use DashPass and Save More Money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you use DoorDash a lot, subscribing to DashPass is a no-brainer. Paying a monthly fee up-front will help you save a lot of money. After the second or third order, you\u2019ve already recovered your monthly fee and it\u2019s all savings at that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use DashPass from different areas on the DoorDash website or the DoorDash app. The easiest way to filter on only local restaurants<\/a> that accept DashPass is to select the DashPass<\/strong> filter at the top of the listing page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThis will display only restaurants that let you avoid delivery fees. Alternatively, you can just scroll down the regular listing page and identify eligible restaurants by the small DashPass icon next to the restaurant name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using DashPass doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t also get to take advantage of other savings on DoorDash. If you think about it, cutting your delivery fees plus saving in other ways will help you recover your monthly DashPass fee even faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One way to look for additional savings is by selecting the DashPass menu and selecting Offers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIn the submenu at the top of the listing, select Offer Type<\/strong> and choose the Discount<\/strong> option. Doing this is important because you already get no delivery fees with the DashPass membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAdditional promo discount offers on DoorDash sometimes amount to up to 20% off the overall price of the order. This is on top of the delivery fee savings you already get with your DashPass subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned earlier, you can save an additional $1.99 a month by taking advantage of the Annual Plan. To do this, select the DoorDash menu and then select Manage DashPass<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will take you to your DashPass subscription plan. Select the Learn more<\/strong> link under the Annual Plan section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThen, just follow the instructions to upgrade to the annual plan and reduce your monthly cost for DashPass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other DashPass Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are a few additional things to keep in mind when you\u2019re using your DashPass membership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each time you order, just review the Subtotal numbers to keep an eye on the savings that you\u2019re getting with each order. You\u2019ll see a reduction of the DoorDash Delivery Fee (down to $0.00) and Fees & Estimated Tax depending on the order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
