DoorDash eGift Cards: $25 for $22.50, $50 for $45, $100 for Expired

Maybe he has a day job, and is trying to supplement his income? No reason for an assumed false duality with the original comment.

As a former food courier myself, I implore those using these services:

1. To tip a reasonable amount given cost of living in your area, distance traveled, extra time or effort required to deliver to you, etc. The old 15%-20% measure isn't useful, if it ever really was, though it may be appropriate for a "Short-hop" or larger value order.

Tips aren't a minority of the payout like with rideshare. If you aren't getting orders with tips, you aren't making money as a courier. Period.

2. Realize that food couriers have the worst of all worlds in a sense. They're contractors with no employee rights or benefits, but have an acceptance metric to meet. Which means they can't just decline that Crawls Jr. value meal order that requires a 10 mile drive to the restaurant that's unpaid, and another 10 into a bad area of town for 5 bucks. A true contractor gets to reject money-losing work as they choose without consequence. A food courier does not.

3. Recognize that if your order is wrong, it's not the courier's fault unless they didn't check the tag and handed you someone else's food. 95% of the time orders are sealed at the restaurant. Where I am restaurants can't find and keep workers, and mistakes happen, and have on my 3-4 monthly orders.

4. If a mistake happens, DD has the best support in that biz. You can at least get someone right through the app to chat with, and in my experience they'll re-deliver the order or otherwise try to make you whole. Good luck with UE there, who made me send an email, responded 2 days later, and offered to do absolutely nada. Alternatively, contact the restaurant, if they won't make things right in some way you might decide to vote with your feet. Eating out in general, like everything, costs too much now to end up with shitty food and a source that DGAF.

Plenty more to say, but already wrote a book by accident. Thanks for considering...

I didn't look at my CC charge history, but I added PayPal to my account to my Walmart account to buy this and it got canceled for possible fraud or something. Ugh. Only ordered one card, so I don't think the cancellations are related to quantity. Gonna try to order with CC this time.

Edit: great, now it's just saying my CC can't be authorized.

Placed 1 order using PayPal and it got canceled. Don't think I'll bother wasting any more time on this deal.

If he is not getting anything for the effort, why is he working as DD driver? Charity? If he isn't happy with with pay that comes with being a delivery driver, he can pick a different line of work.

so agree with this. There is an almost 15-20% price difference between restaurant menus vs dd menus.

**dont ever buy doordash gift cards**

Once they are loaded into your doordash account, you will stop getting email coupons that are generally sent weekly.

Also, you will be unable to use other payment methods in doordash until your credits are finished (example: unable to use Chase Reserve $5/month credit since you must use your Chase card at checkout but will be unable to since it will default to using your doordash gift card credits with no way of selecting your chase reserve credit card to use instead.).

Restaurants have raised their prices so much for DD that it's not worth using my free DoorPass even with these GC discounts except in an emergency hunger crisis Ordering directly from restaurants are much cheaper for pickups.

Wait so you're not tipping your drivers?
