Why use DoorDash for more than food?

Most people associate DoorDash with restaurant delivery, but it’s increasingly become a one-stop shop for everyday essentials, household items, personal care, electronics, groceries and even school supplies.

DoorDash can save you:

  • A trip to the store when you’re busy or sick
  • Time when you’re planning events or traveling
  • Stress when you need something fast and don’t want to overpay for shipping

How to save even more on DoorDash

Signing up for a DoorDash account instantly unlocks access to a number of deals. Below, some tips on how to maximize savings with DoorDash:

  • Save on Lyft rides: DoorDash partners with Lyft to provide even more deals to members. Through September 30, DashPash members who are new to Lyft can save $10 on their first two rides. Plus, you can get 10% off scheduled airport Lyft rides and receive two free priority pickup upgrades every month.
  • Refer friends: DoorDash also offers users a referral link. Send it to friends and family and if they sign up, you will get $20 in credits when someone signs up and places their first order over $15. Bonus: Your pal also gets $10 off their first three orders.
