What a DoorDash gift card gets you
A DoorDash gift card isn't only for restaurant delivery — the same balance covers DashMart, grocery, convenience, alcohol, pet, and retail orders from the 300,000-plus stores on the platform, and it works in both the US and Canada. Once added to your account, the balance applies automatically to your next order before any other payment method is charged, and it can sit alongside a DashPass subscription without conflict. Unlike a bank-issued prepaid card, there are no activation fees and no dormancy charges.
two formats:
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemed by entering the code in the DoorDash app or on doordash.com. $15 to $200 per card via Dyme; up to $500 via doordash.com.
- Physical card: Sold on gift-card racks at grocery and drugstore chains. Loaded at the register, typically $15 to $100.
You can add multiple DoorDash gift cards to one account; the balances pool and draw down automatically across future orders. There is no published cap on how many you can stack.

Can I get a DoorDash gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells DoorDash e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles, paperless delivery, and supporting renewable energy projects, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Warehouse clubs, in store. Costco and Sam's Club periodically run DoorDash multi-packs at a discount, often a $100 face value sold for less. Stock rotates and isn't always available. Physical only, club membership required.
- Retailer gift-card promotions. Grocery and drugstore chains occasionally bundle a bonus card or fuel points when you buy a DoorDash card on the rack. Watch weekly circulars from Kroger, Safeway, and similar chains.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold DoorDash gift cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card plus Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Two rewards programs fire on a single DoorDash gift card purchase through Dyme.
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses, so a dining or delivery multiplier usually won't apply to the gift-card purchase.
Earn 1 Mile for every dollar you spend, and 5 Miles per dollarduring special offers — the layer the other channels can't match.
Illustrative only. Card rates and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
DoorDash physical gift cards hang on the gift-card racks at grocery and drugstore chains including Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, CVS, and Walgreens, usually in $25, $50, and $100 face values. Costco and Sam's Club periodically run discounted multi-packs. At a supermarket rack you pay face value but earn the store's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
Designs and personalization
E-gift cards: multiple designs in the DoorDash gift catalog, including seasonal and occasion-specific art for birthdays, holidays, thank-yous, and congratulations. You can customize the message and the send date.
Physical cards: the standard DoorDash card art carried on retail racks, with limited seasonal variation.
There is no co-branded option for individual purchase. For bulk and branded orders, see corporate ordering below.
Delivery and timing
- E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. The recipient adds the code to their DoorDash account.
- E-gift via doordash.com: 1 to 60 minutes by email, or scheduled for a future send date.
- Physical at a retailer: Immediate — walk out with the card and load it at the register.
Dyme does not mail physical cards. If you need a physical card in hand, a retail gift-card rack is the path.
Corporate and bulk buying
DoorDash runs a corporate gift-card and rewards program through DoorDash for Business, with bulk orders, custom denominations, and branded delivery for employee and client gifting. Larger orders can be invoiced. Contact the DoorDash for Business team to set up an order.
