Use the gift-card field rather than the promo box
DoorDash's official Gift Card Guide directs users to create or open an account, find Gift Card in the account settings and redeem the code there. It specifically warns against entering gift-card codes as promotional codes during checkout. Those fields can look similar while representing different payment instruments. Confirm what was supplied before trying another field. A purchased card amount should not be interpreted as a coupon percentage, restaurant-specific discount or an automatic reduction to any meal chosen in the application.

The card becomes account value
DoorDash's US gift-card conditions describe a closed-loop card rather than a debit or credit card. The applicable terms define its permitted use with DoorDash and the conditions for the receiving account. Review the intended account before applying value, especially on a device shared by several household members. A gift card is not a general payment method for unrelated delivery applications or merchants. Keep the issuer's confirmation with the order record when checking whether value was added successfully.

Choose the national program deliberately
The official buying guide separates US-dollar purchases from Canadian-dollar purchases and describes different ordering routes. This is a reason to identify the actual card program, not to assume that a code will convert between those markets. Read the current local gift-card terms for the recipient's account and order destination. The final food-order cost can include more than the menu subtotal, so compare the native card amount with the complete eligible checkout total rather than the USD price paid for the code elsewhere.

Keep local limitations with the card
The US conditions govern limitations, fraud handling and the relationship between gift-card use and the service's broader terms. They should be consulted for the intended order instead of relying on another country's help article. If redemption is rejected, retain the exact error and the original purchase evidence while contacting the official service.
