How can I get money or withdraw money with my DasherDirect card?
The DasherDirect card can be handled virtually or physically, through the application with your debit account respectively.
Virtually we can have the option to pay for online purchases, bill payments, transfers, and any transaction that does not require inserting a card. First, you must log in with your username and password.
In the “Manage Card” part of the DasherDirect application, you can view your virtual card and interest amounts and activate it for retail stores or mall purchases.
Typically, payments made or sent to this card are available the next day, as are commissions for paying at gas stations (for frequent drivers this is one of the most important earnings).
Another way to earn money and partner is for content creators. With a Dasher card tips sent by followers are automatically associated and can serve as a means of payment registration in apps.
These payments with the physical card can be withdrawn at a selected ATM or in case of not having this account in physical form. Another way to withdraw is to send the payment to another US account you have and withdraw through that section.
Please note that it is not possible to associate other types of accounts such as Paypal or Cash app to these DashDirect cards, for trying something similar your account could be blocked. If you have problems with your card you can contact DoorDash Support, they are the ones in charge of managing and overseeing these operations of the company.
