In 2020, Chase announced a partnership with DoorDash — the popular delivery platform — to provide eligible credit cardmembers complimentary DashPass memberships. This premium service unlocks unlimited $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders placed through the platform.

And much to everyone's delight, the companies announced that they would extend their partnership until 2027.

Read on for our complete guide to Chase and DoorDash and how you can sign up to start saving today with DashPass.

Who can get a complimentary DoorDash membership

As noted above, DashPass unlocks $0 delivery fees and lower service fees on purchases that meet the subtotal minimum through DoorDash and Caviar. Most Chase credit cards are eligible for this premium membership, though the length of the complimentary period varies.

Here's an overview:

The deal is even sweeter for Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers. In addition to the complimentary DashPass, you'll also get up to $25 in DoorDash promos each month through Dec. 31, 2027: a $5 monthly promo at checkout on eligible restaurant credit and up to two $10 promos to use on non-restaurant DoorDash orders each month.

However, all Chase cardmembers who have signed up for DashPass (and DashPass users in general) can benefit from the annual, members-only savings.

Benefits of Dashpass

DoorDash Dashpass comes with a handful of useful benefits that can save you money.

  • $0 delivery and reduced service fees on eligible orders
  • Receive 5% back in Doordash credits on eligible pickup orders
  • Access to DashPass only offers
  • DashPass Member benefits apply to the Caviar platform
  • Sapphire Preferred cardholders with DashPass receive one promo of up to $10 off each calendar month during checkout on one non-restaurant order. Freedom, Slate and cobranded cardholders receive one promo of up to $10 off every quarter on one non-restaurant order.

According to DoorDash, DashPass members save an average of $5 for every order. Even if you only use DashPash occasionally, this benefit can save you money if you already have an eligible Chase card in your wallet

How to enroll in DashPass

Activating this benefit is very simple, and it all happens on the DoorDash website or through the DoorDash app.

  1. Start by logging into your DoorDash account (you can join at this link if you're not currently a member).
  2. Add an eligible card as your default payment method.
  3. Follow the onscreen prompts to activate your DashPass membership.

Once activated, you can begin using the perks immediately — and for Sapphire Reserve cardmembers, your first $5 monthly credit should automatically post.

Note that after the trial period is over for Freedom, Slate and cobranded cardholders, the DashPass membership will auto-renew at the standard price of $9.99 per month.

Bottom line

Thanks to the partnership between Chase and DoorDash, eligible cardmembers can activate by Dec. 31, 2027 to get a complimentary membership with DashPass, unlocking $0 delivery fees and lower service fees. Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers also get $5 in monthly DoorDash credits.

If you've been waiting to utilize this benefit, sign up for your complimentary DashPass membership with your eligible Chase credit card today — and start saving on your next delivery.
