r/DashEarnings

Been platinum since my 50th drop off . 4.88 rating.. only been dashing since June about to hit 400.. should have a plat pass by now but since one lady gave me a 1 and a Cpl thumbs down (later removed by door dash) … I was on my 185ish delivery.. her rating bumped me to gold for about 45 minutes but that was enough for me to have to drive another 200+ deliveries for a dp. Anyways.. point of post is… I really do not think platinum is worth it AT LEAST right now when no one is ordering in my area. The offers I get are utterly pathetic and should be illegal.

As title says. Today is the day after my one month anniversary of starting dashing. I noticed a glaring drop off in earnings yesterday conveniently on my one month. I thought it was tips but nope I’m getting $2 on basically every order since yesterday no matter the circumstances. Went from $3-$4+ mile orders to 50 cent a mile over night. Still making decent $ and staying busy if I drive to the city, but I did not expect such a sudden noticeable drop off. Is it because I’m a month into it now? Just DoorDash being tight on a couple weekdays? Should I switch to hourly + tips? (Never tried it, was always making good enough $ with base pay and tips)

We had bad thunderstorms the week of Aug 10-16th and people lost power around Cincinnati/kentucky border so that’s why i made so much that week. Expected it to go down but not like this.

Anyone else experiencing the same thing? I’m also currently in the promo do 100 dashes for $100 and I’m at 81/100, hoping that when I complete it things go back to normal. However I had it on Monday and was still getting the really good orders/base pay so I don’t really think it’s that.

Dinner shifts like this never happen for me. I’m in the Midwest btw so not a usually super high tipping area. Usually it takes 4 sometimes 5 hours to make $100. I’m taking this as a win and going home to chill with my family.

Been dashing part time for a year. Used to deliver pizzas in college and decided to start doing it for extra travel money. Finally got an order that I’ll probably never see again. $32 to go 1.8 miles. Thought I’d share! Hope you guys and gals are making good money and staying safe!

A 4th one behind me, all with 2 phones

For those wondering if I added tips, I usually tip $5+ in cash. This is a prepaid debit card I’m trying to get rid of with $30, so I did exactly $0.13 in tips to get to that.

I select my deals and stuff to get the total charged to the card to nearly exactly that, only to be charged $10.09 for my Dairy Queen order and then even more for the Popeyes one. That’s not what my receipt says though; they say they only charged me for $8.41 and that’s what they’re refunding me (I haven’t even gotten that refund yet).

The problem is the 2nd charge now can no longer go through for the Popeyes (which is ALSO more than expected on receipt) because it’s a debit card. It’s declined (was supposed to be only around $21, it’s charged as $25) and they cancel my entire order because they charged me like $36 for some reason.

What the actual hell happened here? It wasn’t my bank and I’ve ordered from DoorDash for years, I know how it all works. I tried support, they just said after a while of me asking what happened “Thank you for contacting us” and hung up. I can’t ask for a chargeback from the prepaid thing either because it’s a prepaid card given to me as a gift…
