DoorDash Rewards Mastercard® Review
Overview
The DoorDash Rewards Mastercard is a no-fee card built around food delivery: strong rewards on DoorDash and dining, plus a free DashPass membership that waives delivery fees. If you order from DoorDash regularly, the free DashPass alone can justify carrying it.
Outside of food, though, the earning is modest, so this is really a card for people whose spending revolves around dining and delivery.
Think twice if: you rarely order delivery, since the card’s value is concentrated in DoorDash and dining.
Our 6.5 out of 10 rating
Each score weighs the rewards rate, value after the annual fee, welcome offer, points flexibility, and perks, with every point valued at a flat 1 cent. This is our editorial assessment to help you compare cards, not a guarantee of approval or of the value you will get.
Rewards: how it earns
You earn 3% on DoorDash and dining, 2% on groceries and DoorDash, and 1% on everything else, with no annual fee, plus a complimentary DashPass membership that removes delivery fees. If you order a lot, the DashPass perk can be worth more than the cash back itself, but away from food the earning is thin.
| Category | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dining and restaurants | 3x | Bonus category |
| Groceries | 2x | Bonus category |
| Everything else | 1x | Everything else |
Every point and mile above is valued at a flat 1 cent, the same honest standard we use for every card. Run your own spending through the calculator to see what this card would actually return for you.
Pros and cons
- No annual fee
- Free DashPass membership that waives delivery fees
- 3% on DoorDash and dining
- Modest earning outside food and delivery
- Value depends on ordering DoorDash regularly
- Cash back only, no transfer upside
The welcome bonus
The welcome is centered on the free DashPass membership rather than a big cash bonus, which is valuable if you order often but less exciting if you do not.
Is it worth the annual fee?
There is no annual fee, so there is nothing to justify. The free DashPass, which normally costs money, effectively pays you back if you order delivery regularly, which is the card’s main draw.
First-year value vs ongoing value
| Welcome bonus | Free year of DashPass |
| To earn it | No minimum spend |
| Est. first-year value* | $412 |
| Est. ongoing value / yr* | $412 |
There is no lump-sum welcome bonus, so first-year and ongoing value are about the same, roughly $412 a year on typical spending after the fee. What you see is what you get from day one.
*First-year value counts the welcome bonus, estimated rewards, and annual credits, minus the annual fee; ongoing value is a typical year after. Every point at a flat 1 cent, on average spending.
Benefits and protections
Beyond the rewards, the perks and protections worth knowing about include:
- Complimentary DashPass for one year (a $96 value), with $0 delivery fees on eligible orders
- Cash back redeems for DoorDash orders, statement credit, a deposit, or gift cards
Statement credits
This card does not come with recurring statement credits. Its value is in the rewards rate and welcome offer.
Who should get it, and who should skip it
If DoorDash is part of your routine, this card makes sense, the free DashPass and 3% on delivery and dining can add up nicely for a frequent orderer.
If you rarely order delivery, the value largely disappears and a broader cash-back card would serve you better. This is a lifestyle card for delivery regulars, not a general-purpose earner.
