There are 3 types of fee with Door Dash from the FAQs I read last night.
Service Fee (using Door Dash), Delivery Fee (that is why some places listed as Free Delivery and that is an option to filter out the listing), and the Tips to the driver. The last one has been mentioned as a gray area as Door Dash took the driver's tips in the past, making the drive only earn $2 to $3 on a trip according to some reviews on the net.
Another thing is, dont remember it is related to Door Dash or GrubHub - that now customers can choose whether to prepay tips or not - on the net some drivers said they would NOT take the orders that dont have prepaid tips if there are other orders have prepaid tips. Who can blame them?
The delivery time I saw last night was all over 35 min to 45 min, for a simple fast food from a joint (Burger King or Chick Fillet) no more than 5 min drive from home... just sayin.
That is not even accounted for 95% of the restaurants in my area are fast food joints. I thought most people who own a high fee card are not fans of fast foods?
My guess is, for many if they are not users of food delivery to begin with, they most likely would quickly use the $60 credit before their new AF kick in and then seriously revalue.
Chase probably pays very little on this benefit to a start up that is burning $$$$$$ of investors money to try to make it. It may very well become a WeWork scenario for all we know it!
