Getting paid asap!
I love the DasherDirect app, it’s simple and explains everything you need to know. I love having this available for me to be able to earn what I make and for it to be available seconds to minutes after my dash has ended. Need gas after my dash? Let me get some! Need food after my dash? Can purchase! Every purchase you make will send you a notification when you use your card. And you can also add the debit card to your apple wallet to pay via Apple Pay on any iOS device. Note, if you pay at the pump at a gas station, it MAY place a temporary hold on your account and it depends on the gas station for the amount. But the hold is lifted hours later or the next morning. You can also view your rewards balance for your cash back transactions and can easily add them to your debit card balance. Find ATMs to withdraw for cash and see if there’s fees or not. Only issue I would have is when DoorDash is down, this app may also be too. Glitches are very minimal when this happens but fixed an hour or 2 later. Love this app and can’t wait for any updates!

Driving experience
I’ve done Uber and I’ve done DoorDash. I started Uber first and was starting to enjoy it. I would drive a little bit after I get off my regular job, and a little bit more on my days off. I wasn’t really taking it serious with them because my mind set was that it’s not my real job. Anyways I ended up getting deactivated because of my ratings they said. Then I stared to do door dash I’m sorry but door dash doesn't attract me in like Uber with them right when I start up the app 90 percent of the time I get a trip almost instantly and then right before I finish that trip instantly a new one. I get bombarded with trips most days. I was make money and who doesn’t like that. Now with door dash when I open the app most times I can’t even start right away have yo be scheduled or dash along the way to a certain spot, and when I do get to that spot the waiting game continues. It makes me not want to do it. It’s a continuous waiting game. Then when you get a trip you accept and go complete it and once completed you would have to drive back in zone and for the most part wait again. It says looking for trip along the way back but for the most part nothing.

Great App, Amazing Debit Card! Very exciting new way to work!
I applied back in early December to become a Dasher, after applying and undergoing the background check the process from there was seamless. I got approved less than 3 days later, and was super excited to start. Ever since then, I noticed how caring the customer service line is to all of us as Dasher’s; they are patient, understanding, and above all respectful. They understand that we are the face of the company to their clients and business customers who use their platform everyday. It is a great feeling knowing that I work for a company that truly cares for all sides of this business, from us Dashers, the customers, the restaurants and shops we are contracted with, to the banks we use to deposit and use our funds! It’s been a very great experience overall! I hope anyone who is deciding whether or not to join the Dasher Team (will read this review!) and I hope this excites them, but also encourages them to make the right decision! You’ll never have a better type of job, the flexibility is by far the most outstanding part! I believe DoorDash is also the number 1 delivery app there is at the moment! Having a solid team of employees makes this a reality. Take care!
Sincerely,
Brandon, Dasher since 2022.

Best way to get your door dash tips
“”You want this Visa debit card””
This card is great you can immediately get your doordash tips deposited in to your dasher direct checking account and use this dasher direct visa debit card at the end of every shift. If you start delivering and your low on gas no problem, after you get your first tip you can end your shift and immediately your tips will be deposited on to your dasher direct card and you can go get a little gas to keep door dashing. This card is just like any debit card. It Can be used anywhere and for anything visa debit cards are used for. There is a $2.50 ATM fee for cash withdrawal charged by dasher direct. Any other purchases I have made so far are no charge and you will get cash back on gas, food etc…and a bunch of other things. It’s not a lot of money but i have noticed for example , if I get some fast food and let’s say $30 for gas. 2 or 3 times After that it seems like I usually have $2 or $3 bucks cash back I can redeem and it’s instantly added to my dasher direct balance to use for anything I want. There is other features that’s to much to explain here and features that I’m not even familiar with yet. I have had this card for about a month and it is 100% the fastest, free of charge way to get your loot.
If you door dash, get this card and make it your primary way to get your tips if you want your money quick.

Aside from
I love my door dash gig aside from the not so realistic rating I go above and beyond including running several blocks if there is a traffic issue or car problem what ever it may be.. If I'm a tad bit late do to a new address not being on the map yet or gps running me in circles attempting to find a new development house or.. Oh and every time it says to contact to customer / call or text it says this number no longer works and some times that plays into our review because it seems like we didn't follow the customers instructions they provide in the app when it's not our fault and this has been going on for years now. I think there should be a number provides by the customer to contact them if it's in there instructions then we should be able to get ahold of them to keep our numbers up... And more than not restaurants get flooded w togo orders late that normally would have some of there business eating in!! Now there not a soul in the eatery and theres 20 dashers waiting on orders and we could stand there 30-45 minutes causing orders to be a little later than the customer would like and it reflects on us not the crabby overwhelmed restaurant workers.. Costing us position, pay, positive feedback and now a 15 min order turned into a hour ordeal and everyones upset w the dasher.. But we still smile and keep the good door dash spirits going

So far no big problems!
DasherDirect has been very helpful! Love being able to get an instant direct deposit and easy access to my money. I’ve also been able to transfer it to my main bank account I use to pay bills with no fees, except transfers do take sometime for it to move to another account so beware if you’re trying to pay something by a certain time/date. You might as well as use the actual dasherdirect card to pay something off since it still works as a normal debit card. Another thing is you still need to hold off some money for taxes which I do by literally transferring the money to a savings I have and plan on holding onto it until tax time. Something else that is scary, if you don’t know what’s happening at first, is that if you use the card for gas it’s going to “take out everything” on the card but after a couple minutes it’ll correctly take out only what you paid for in gas and I think that has to do with the science of how cars readers at gas pumps work. Those are the only things that had bothered me while I’ve been using it, outside of that everything has worked great! And the extra thing that’s helped me recently is you get monthly statements that tell you exactly how much you were paid and are great for proof of income instances! I hope this helps someone decide if they want to get the dasherdirect and enjoy it as much as I do.

Good for extra income/business use only
If you start off as this being your main source of income, put away a $300-$500 cushion before signing up for this program. You won’t be able to use funds until your card arrives (up to 14 business days) unless you are in an area that accepts Apple Pay at your priority, basic needs stores. Even then, the card is for business use and not personal.
Once your card arrives however, you’ll be able to pull cash easily. Just plan for how you will use your card for business purposes. If you do not withdraw cash, send all personal funds earned to another bank account which may take up to 7 business days to process.
Great for learning how to manage a business account. Not recommended if you just want your funds immediately without a fee and plan to use for personal/basic needs (unless personal management is your business). Hope this helps you on your journey 🙏

Great Pay Option For Dashers
Signing up for the Dasher Direct card was easy and makes dashing more worthwhile. The fact that your money is directly deposited after every dash you’ve scheduled instead of waiting a week is awesome and needed. The money you’ve earned is there within minutes and your able to use it right away for gas or groceries. Getting cash back on gas and purchases at different stores is really worth it too, I mean who doesn’t like cash back? I’ve even been able to connect my Dasher Direct card to another delivery app so I can still get paid instantly instead of waiting a week. I just wish the Dasher Direct card had more options for retailers where you can earn cash back, maybe in the future🤞🏻All in all the Dasher Direct Card is worth signing up for if you don’t want to wait for a week to get paid. Thanks Door Dash!!

Good side job
I’ve been working for DoorDash for about a month and a half and my experience has some pros some cons. It’s a good side hustle for some extra cash but depending on the area you live in, I wouldn’t make this a full time job. A huge con that I don’t like is when you decline an order it brings down your acceptance rate and I don’t like that. A lot of times I’ll get orders that are over 12 miles distance for only a $3 pay. That’s not worth my time or gas. Also there should be a way to narrow down the area you would like to deliver in. I live in Pa and have had an order to deliver in NJ. I only ever work for about 2-3 hrs and orders like that end up taking me an hour to do. Some pros are a lot of weekends are pretty busy so you could make up to $100 in a few hours. I also like how easy it is to use the app everything is explained well and you can communicate with the customer well. Another con is while your in DoorDash mode you can’t see if the area is busy or not so you end up sitting in your car waiting for orders to come in some nights. I enjoy doing this when I have free time. I work a full time job so this is my part time. Like I said I wouldn’t ever make it my full time job it’s just not reliable enough to guarantee full time money. But overall I’ve been enjoying it!

Learning a lot.
This job teaches you how important it is to be able to go with the flow but also how it’s a MUST HAVE skill to pay attention to detail special with group orders. Don’t assume anything if you have a question don’t be afraid to ask the help support team for DoorDash has a good foundation of people to go to when in doubt of anything!! They are awesome and very supportive!! My biggest advice would be communication is BIG when it comes to good customer service even when you’re not getting a response back from the customer it’s always good to let them know what’s going on they might just go OK I didn’t know feel confident that the orders getting to them as soon as possible! Short and sweet.. yes where a smile even through text…I would say at least two text messages for delivery… The restaurant at him know what’s going on and then after you drop off the order always thank them for their support without them even having to do what we’re doing and you got to be grateful for any tips or just that they’re ordering from DoorDash!
