DoorDash doesn’t have a teacher discount. The best way to save is a DoorDash gift card from Fluz, which lists 15.5% cashback on the card, and anyone can use it, teacher or not. If you’re also a student, DoorDash’s Student DashPass plan costs about half the regular price.
That cashback is a percentage of what you spend on the card. It doesn’t lower the prices DoorDash shows you, so it works best if you order often and can buy a card for about what you expect to spend.
How To Get The DoorDash Teacher Discount
- Open Fluz with the button below and create an account. Fluz doesn’t charge a fee to buy a gift card.
- Buy a DoorDash e-gift card. Cards run from $20 to $500 and are redeemable online only.
- Sign in to your DoorDash account, go to the Menu Options page and choose Gift Card, then enter the code. In the app, tap your Profile icon, then Gift Card.
- The balance shows up as DoorDash credit and is applied automatically to your next order.
Check the cashback rate on Fluz before you pay, since it changes. The card works on doordash.com, caviar.com and in either app, but only in the United States, and you can’t cash it out. Buy about what you expect to order. For other ways to save on takeout, see our food and drink discounts for teachers.
Other Cash Back On DoorDash
Rakuten pays no cash back on DoorDash right now. ID.me lists up to $1.50 cash back at DoorDash, but only for new U.S. customers, so it won’t help if you already have an account.
If You’re Also A Student
Some teachers are students too, working on a master’s or a doctorate. Student DashPass is for customers enrolled in a university or post-secondary school who pass DoorDash’s verification. Being a teacher doesn’t qualify you on its own. If you do qualify, the plan costs $4.99 a month or $48 a year instead of $9.99 a month or $96 a year.
DashPass benefits depend on order size. In the U.S., your subtotal needs to be $12 or more at restaurants or convenience stores, or $25 or more for grocery orders. Read the terms on DoorDash’s Student DashPass help page before you sign up.
