Chase Sapphire Reserve $60 DoorDash credit ends soon
In May 2021, Chase added a complimentary year-long DashPass membership to several Chase co-branded credit cards. DashPass is a subscription service within DoorDash, giving members waived delivery fees and reduced service fees on orders over $12. DashPass members also receive 5% back in DoorDash credit on all pickup orders.
There are dozens of Chase credit cards eligible for this offer, including the Chase Sapphire Reserve and the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card. However, the Sapphire Reserve has one benefit the rest don't — the $60 annual credit. This is relatively easy to use and can help you recoup part of the card's $550 annual fee.
To activate this credit, along with your DashPass membership, all you need to do is go onto the DoorDash website or app and use your Sapphire Reserve for your order. It will prompt you to enroll in the benefit and then you'll be able to use the credits, which will be applied automatically as a statement credit. The statement credits will automatically be applied to your account when you make qualifying DoorDash purchases, up to an annual maximum of $60.
It is unclear if Chase is planning to extend the benefit into 2022, but as of now, the credit will expire on Dec. 31, 2021.
Best credit cards for food delivery
Food delivery has skyrocketed in popularity, especially during the pandemic, and now several rewards credit cards offer incentives and benefits for these purchases. These perks will come in either spending credits or bonus spending categories. If you select a credit card where there are spending credits for food delivery, it's imperative to do your best to maximize those credits as it can help reduce the 'net cost' of your annual fee.
Remember, if you have an eligible Chase credit card, you can get a complimentary year-long DashPass membership if you activate it by March 31, 2022.

Bottom line
The Chase Sapphire Reserve is packed with benefits, including the DoorDash spending credits.
However, before you order from DoorDash with your DashPass credit, be sure to closely monitor the costs of what you're ordering. A $5 coffee from Starbucks can quickly turn into $14 when you include tip and service fees. And even when you use carryout, food items can be priced higher compared to going into the restaurant and ordering directly. So while the DoorDash credit is easy to use, once the credit is drained, it may be best for your budget to avoid food delivery services.
