Sounds like a good opportunity, but... – DoorDash - Dasher Review

I signed up to dash after talking to another mom at the playground about how great the money was. From all of the things I read and notifications the app sent me during the sign up process, I was under the impression I would be able to start making money within the week. Everything went well and quickly as far as becoming a “Dasher”, it took about 2 or 3 days to receive my redcard, the app notified me when the packet was sent and again after it was delivered. One notification actually told me to “activate the red card and start earning money today.” Unfortunately, the first opportunity I got to start working (the next day), the app acted like it was not functioning properly. I ended up deleting and reinstalling the app after I tried everything I could think to do. It then became clear to me that my account had been deactivated. I called customer service (in India, of course) and the man told me the account was deactivated bc my area had enough Dashers at this time and I would be notified when my account was reactivated. He said I should’ve been notified by email about the situation. My problem with the whole thing was that (even after learning the reason behind the deactivation) I was sent notifications to “go earn some money”. How about, notify me that my account is temporarily disabled bc the market is saturated through push notifications rather than email. Also, it would be a good idea to list that possibility in the help center as a reason for deactivation. Additionally, informing me that I could sign up but that I would be put on a wait list until the market opened up would be super sweet. It was all just a big disappointment, I am still unable to Dash, and I’m not happy about it at all. Good luck DoorDash.
