Thanks to DashPass, I've Saved Hundreds of Dollars on Food Delivery This Year Alone

Everyone has that one food delivery app they default to, and for me, it's DoorDash. As a Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholder (the lounges alone are reason enough to apply, IMO), I get a complimentary DoorDash DashPass Membership ($10/month or $96/year) included with my annual fee. If you're not familiar, DashPass is DoorDash's subscription service that waives delivery fees and reduces service fees on eligible orders — which is exactly why I've been exclusively ordering through the app lately. (Those fees really add up.)

But even before the Chase perk, I was a paying DashPass member because if you order as often as I do, the savings are worth every cent. Ahead, I'm breaking down everything to know about it — and possibly enabling your next sushi craving in the process.

What I Like About DoorDash's DashPass Membership

My commitment to food delivery tends to come in waves, and right now, it's at an all-time high. I recently moved into a new house with my husband and had a baby, a combo that has me opening the app for dinner more often than I'd like to admit. But honestly, I can justify it. It's a low-effort way to try new restaurants in our area when we can't get out, and it turns into a baby-friendly date night in our own living room on nights when leaving the house feels impossible (read: often). Just the other night, we ordered a full sushi spread that was so good, I'm tempted to get it again tonight as I type this. And even though we ordered a lot of rolls, the price felt totally fair, especially with DashPass nixing the $8.99 delivery fee and cutting my order's $9.81 service fee. I love seeing the app show exactly what I'm saving with the membership. That transparency makes it feel extra worth it.

What to Consider About DoorDash's DashPass Membership

As a proud DashPass devotee in my current order-heavy era, I know I'm biased. So I sanity-checked myself on Reddit (my favorite place for no-fluff opinions), and the consensus is pretty clear: DashPass is worth it if you already order a lot. Most people say the math starts working around three or more orders a month because $0 delivery plus reduced service fees can offset the membership. I'm easily at one order a week, so I'm firmly in the "worth it" camp. If you're ordering less, skip it for now and revisit when you're in your own ordering-out era.
