Ditch the Dash: A (Mildly Hysterical) Guide to Excising Your Credit Card from DoorDash
Ah, DoorDash. The siren song of convenience, the orchestra of late-night cravings, the delivery driver who low-key judges your pizza order (we've all been there). But sometimes, that little red app can morph into a financial black hole, especially when your credit card is attached like a remora to a shark. Fear not, fellow foodies! This guide will help you sever the plastic shackles and regain control of your wallet (and dignity).
Step 1: Accept Your Addiction (It's Okay, We All Do It)
First things first, let's acknowledge the elephant in the room (or rather, the burrito in your bed). You might have a DoorDash habit. It's okay! We've all succumbed to the lure of edible sweatpants and the promise of "just one more bite." But before you hit "order" for the third time today, ask yourself:
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.![]()
- Is this a real craving, or am I just bored/lonely/procrastinating adulting? (Be honest, it's usually the latter two.)
- Could I whip up something half-decent in the kitchen without setting off the smoke alarm? (Spoiler alert: the answer is probably yes.)
- Will that extra order of guac haunt me in the form of ramen dinners next week? (It will. It always does.)
Step 2: The Breakup is Real (But It Doesn't Have to Be Messy)
Now that you're mentally prepared, it's time for the deed. Removing your credit card is like ripping off a Band-Aid: quick, slightly painful, but ultimately liberating. Here's how to do it like a boss:

Mobile App Users:
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.![]()
- Channel your inner ninja: Open the app, tap the mysterious profile icon, and delve into the depths of "Payment Methods."
- Swipe left like you're on Tinder: Find your unwanted credit card and give it a good swipe to the left. Don't be shy, banish it to the digital oblivion!
- Confirm with a dramatic flourish: Tap "Delete" like you're signing a million-dollar movie deal. You've just saved yourself (and your bank account) from future temptations.
Desktop Warriors:
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.![]()
- Embrace your inner clicker: Log in to the DoorDash website and click the ever-so-subtle menu icon (those sneaky lines!).
- Navigate like a pirate: Seek out the hidden treasure of "Payment" and prepare to plunder.
- Click the trash can with gusto: Find your credit card and click the trash can icon next to it like you're vanquishing a digital dragon. Boom, card deleted, freedom achieved!
Important Note: You can only do this if you have another payment method linked. So, choose your new vice wisely (maybe a gym membership? A meditation app? A pet rock? The options are endless!).
Step 3: Revel in Your Singlehood (But Keep the Pizza Places Bookmarked...Just in Case)
You've done it! You're free from the clutches of DoorDash (at least for now). Celebrate your newfound financial independence with a fancy home-cooked meal (or, let's be real, delivery from a different app. We're not judging). Remember, this is a journey, not a destination. There will be bumps along the road (read: late-night cravings), but you're now armed with the knowledge and willpower to resist. So go forth, conquer your hunger pangs with adulting skills, and remember: sometimes, the best food is the one you make yourself (or order from a place that accepts cash).
Bonus Tip: If you find yourself relapsing, try hiding your phone, replacing DoorDash with a budgeting app, or befriending someone who enjoys actual human interaction (they might even cook for you!).
We believe in you! Now go forth and conquer your (slightly ridiculous) food delivery addiction!
