Is This Charge Legitimate Or Fraudulent?
Most unrecognized DoorDash charges are legitimate orders placed by family members or a DashPass trial that you forgot to cancel. Fraud is typically "account takeover," where a hacker uses your saved card to order food to a different address. If the order doesn't appear in your history, your card details may have been compromised.
Why Does This Charge Appear On My Bank Statement?
DoorDash charges appear immediately when an order is placed. Common reasons for confusion include:
- Authorization Holds: DoorDash may place a temporary hold for a slightly higher amount than your checkout total to account for potential tips or out-of-stock item replacements.
- DashPass Conversions: When you sign up for a "Free Delivery" promotion, it often includes a trial of DashPass that bills $9.99/mo automatically after 30 days.
