Food delivery has evolved from convenient to costly. Delivery service memberships now provide discounts on the service and delivery fees that add up, but come with a cost—sometimes close to a hundred bucks a year.
Now, Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholders can get a year of food and grocery delivery costs for free—here’s what cardholders need to know.
Convenience Is a Luxury
The Chase Sapphire Reserve® was revamped over the summer, prompting an annual fee bump to $795 and a catalogue of benefits, including a Dashpass membership with DoorDash, that can make the expensive card more worthwhile for foodies.
Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholders now gain 12 months of complimentary Dashpass for use on DoorDash and Caviar, which must be activated by December 31, 2027. Authorized users on the account gain the same perk, with their membership expiring on the date the first user activates the membership.
Once enrolled, members must keep in mind that their Chase Sapphire Reserve® card must be used as the payment method to receive DashPass benefits. The annual cost of a DashPass membership is $96.
The Reserve card also entitles cardholders to credits toward meals and groceries with monthly DoorDash promotions (a $5 restaurant promo and two $10 promos on everyday essentials, up to $300 per year; offer must be activated by December 31, 2027).
DashPass members receive unlimited $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders from thousands of participating restaurants, grocery and convenience stores offered on the platform.
Members also earn 5% back in DoorDash credit on all pick-up orders to put toward future orders.
Additional Benefits With Lyft
The Reserve’s complimentary DashPass membership offers additional incentives with discounted Lyft rides.
DoorDash and Lyft have partnered to offer exclusive monthly benefits to subscribers on DashPass, including:
- 5% off on-demand Lyft rides and 10% off scheduled airport rides (up to 4 per month combined)
- 2 free Priority Pickup upgrades per month
Users must have an active DashPass account linked to a Lyft account to redeem the discounted rides.
Bottom Line
While the Reserve’s hefty annual fee may serve as a deterrent for many, for others it’s a valuable asset in their wallet. The card serves up lucrative rewards on travel and dining, including an annual $300 travel credit, airport lounge access, travel protections and more.
