Subject to eligibility; use of the card is governed by the DasherDirect Cardholder Agreement and Payfare Program Terms. Payouts from deliveries initiated after each dash; funds are typically available within an hour pending any delays. Reward categories and amounts subject to change without notice.

Ratings and reviews

I can't even open the app. And the dasher app its self will not let me see my funds at all. I was told someone would get ahold of me and within seconds I got an email that said someone tired to call me but I was unavailable (even though my phone never rang) and to use the app to contact support. I sent multiple emails back and each time I got the same message. The app is either garbage or the people to bother with support. Or both.

The dasher direct bank double charges for some transactions. They charge when the card is swiped and when the pending charge shows complete. And I have to uninstall and reinstall the app each time I want to log in to check my balance. Don't reply that I need to contact customer service. I did and it's still happening. Watch your money because they are stealing.

It's very inconvenient to lose access to fast pay while I wait for my physical card, then get charged an additional $7.50 for using the virtual card thru Google pay to pay a bill. I paid $50 for the bill, but in the Dasher direct app, I was charged $57.50. That's a huge fee to have to pay since that's the only way I have access to the money that I earned. Completely ridiculous. I can't afford to have fees like that for every purchase!!!!
