Chase Partners With DoorDash: Offers DashPass & Monthly Credits To Sapphire Reserve, Preferred, Freedom, Slate Cards

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):

1. Free DashPass membership through December 31, 2027. (Those who activate the benefit in 2027 will still get a full 12 months of the benefit.)
2. 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.)
3. A $5 monthly DoorDash credit which works for all DoorDash purchases. This ends on January 31, 2025.
4. 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.
