How to Use DoorDash Red Card

We’ll walk you through the important steps and tips for using your Red Card to dash confidently. Let’s jump right in and explore the ins and outs of Red Card mastery!

1. Follow the Dasher app’s lead: Always use your Red Card only when the app tells you to. You might see instructions like “Pay with Red Card” or “Place Order” – pay attention to those cues.
2. Stick to the right place and time: Remember, your Red Card is only meant to be used for DoorDash orders at the correct restaurant and at the right moment. Rest assured, the card will only charge the exact amount the restaurant is owed.
3. Choose credit, not debit: Even though your Red Card says “debit,” always select the credit payment option. But if you accidentally hit debit, no worries! Just use “0000” as the PIN.
4. Skip the tip: When using your Red Card to pay, there’s no need to add a tip. And while we’re on the subject of payments, you don’t have to hold on to receipts unless the order specifically asks you to. Just remember, don’t hand over Red Card receipts to customers.
5. Trust DoorDash to handle the funds: DoorDash ensures your Red Card is properly funded, so don’t fret about any differences between the receipt total and the Dasher app total. They’ve got it under control!
6. Troubleshooting and lost cards: If your Red Card is ever declined, follow the app’s troubleshooting steps. And should your card go missing, refer to the Lost Red Card for guidance.

With these easy-to-follow guidelines, you’re well on your way to using your DoorDash Red Card like a seasoned pro.

Can You Doordash without Red Card?

In many cases, you can dash without your Red Card, but there’s a catch. Not having a Red Card limits the range of orders you can accept, as some restaurants require you to use the card for payment. So, while it’s possible to dash without one, you’re better off with it in your arsenal.

This way, you’ll have the flexibility to accept all orders that come your way, maximizing your earning potential. In short, having an activated Red Card handy for a smooth dashing experience is in your best interest.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the DoorDash Red Card for Dashers is a great asset to have for those looking for extra convenience on delivery jobs. While it does involve some initial setup steps, such as linking your bank account and activating the card, the convenience and security benefits outweigh any extra effort put in by far. Plus, you can also get significant discounts when using this card at select stores. With these many advantages of having a DoorDash Red Card, we highly suggest all Dashers give it a try.
