The 2,000 Velocity points bonus for DoorDash users has returned but with new requirements. Previously, existing users could earn the points but now you must be a new DoorDash user or have not placed an order in the past 365 days.
To earn the 2,000 points, link your Velocity Frequent Flyer account in the settings section of the DoorDash app or website and then place an eligible order (see definition in the terms and conditions below).
In addition to the first order bonus, you’ll also earn an ongoing 1x Velocity point per dollar spent on all qualifying DoorDash orders you make whilst your Velocity account remains linked.
Officially, purchases made using DoorDash gift cards do not qualify, however, at the time of writing at least, this does not appear to be enforced as we’ve received the points on all of our orders that were exclusively paid for with gift cards.
Hopefully this oversight continues to be ignored as DoorDash gift cards are often included in bonus points promotions at Coles and Woolworths, meaning you could earn an extra 10x Velocity or Qantas points per dollar spent.
For those interested in discounts, DoorDash gift cards are always 20% off at Costco and they are also frequently included in 10% off or cashback promotions at various other stores.
Terms and conditions
From 12.01am AEST on 13th August 2025 until withdrawn or varied by DoorDash or Velocity, Velocity Frequent Flyer members (“Velocity Member”) can earn 2,000 bonus Velocity Points if they:
