How Do I Actually Remove My EBT Card?
The process of removing your EBT card from your DoorDash account is pretty simple and can be done directly through the app.
Step-by-Step Guide: Removing Your EBT Card
Okay, so you know you want to get rid of your EBT card as a payment option, but how do you actually do it? Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be good to go:
- Open the DoorDash app on your phone.
- Tap the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) in the top left corner.
- Go to “Payment Methods”.
- Find your EBT card in the list of payment options.

Before you remove the card, consider these things:
What to Do Before Removing Your EBT Card
Before you remove your EBT card, there are a couple of things you might want to think about. First, make sure you have another payment method set up if you plan to continue using DoorDash. This could be a credit card, a debit card, or even DoorDash credits. Otherwise, you won’t be able to place any orders after removing your EBT card unless you add a new payment method.
Second, double-check any upcoming orders you might have placed using your EBT card. If you remove the card and still have pending orders, you might run into trouble with the payment. It’s a good idea to cancel or update any outstanding orders before removing the card to avoid issues. You can usually see your upcoming orders in the “Orders” section of the app.
- Make sure you have an alternative payment method.
- Check for upcoming orders that are using your EBT card.
- Consider what you will buy.
Taking a little time to prepare can save you from any headaches later. Being prepared is a good habit!
Troubleshooting Common Problems
Sometimes, things don’t go perfectly smoothly. If you’re having trouble removing your EBT card, here are some things you can try. Make sure you have a stable internet connection. A spotty connection can cause the app to behave oddly. Try closing and reopening the DoorDash app, or even restarting your phone. This can often fix minor glitches.
If you’re still having problems, check to see if your app is up-to-date. Outdated versions of the app can have bugs that prevent you from changing your payment methods. Go to the App Store or Google Play Store and make sure you have the latest version of DoorDash installed. Some older phones and operating systems are incompatible with the app. Also, make sure your card is not expired and is in good standing. If all else fails, you might need to contact DoorDash support for help.
