It looks to me like Chase has entered a big partnership with Doordash. With the cheaper cards offering "discounts" and the AF cards offering "included".

  1. Benefits for Chase Sapphire Reserve and J.P.Morgan Reserve cardmembers

    Free DashPass benefits on eligible orders for at least 12 months (and a maximum of 24 months) after activation.

  2. Benefits for Chase Sapphire Preferred cardmembers

    Free DashPass benefits on eligible orders for at least 12 months (and a maximum of 24 months) after activation.

  3. Benefits for Chase Freedom and Slate cardmembers
    1. Free DashPass benefits on eligible orders for 3 months after activation, when the primary cardmember or an authorized user activates the benefit.
    2. After the first 3 months, the user will be auto-enrolled for the next 9 months in DashPass with a 50% discount applied to the then current membership rate.
    3. After the first 12 months, the user will be auto-enrolled into full price membership at the then current rate

The doordash benefit is meh to me, especially paying for it anyways. Lyft Pink is ok, definitely better than a Saks credit. Still, these changes will be tough. I hate that premium cards are turning into prepaid services. Give me 4-5x bonus points on travel and dining, and I'll be fine.
