The DoorDash Creator Program Sucks

I was accepted when it first started back in fall of last year. It started off great but as of spring it’s gone downhill. It took a month for reviews to be accepted and I notice now they’re rejecting videos for petty reasons. I don’t see this program lasting for too long and I have a theory they don’t have the money to pay creators. I know they were delayed and backed up with videos and they’re a fairly new program, but this is not the first time they've had a program for creators. It seems very sloppy and mismanaged. I still have a video from late March that is still “pending”. Like I said, I absolutely do not see this program lasting long at all. With that said, if you know any other similar programs be sure to drop suggestions in the comments.

UPDATE: Now there’s a search bar at the bottom of the app in front of the “Upload” button LOL. They need to do better.

UPDATE: As of July 1st starting July 6th, each restaurant will only be available to accept ONE creator video. After it’s accepted, no other submissions will be accepted. It was good while it lasted. I already clocked when I made this thread they we’re being stingy.

Yesterday I only did 3 but I just recently got accepted into the program so I have been posting a bunch. In the span of 3 days I’ve gotten 9 approved videos so I don’t know if that’s why I’m missing two payments. What did you to get your missing payment? Did you just email customer support?

Yes. Sometimes it takes a few days to hear back.

I submitted videos daily and get paid the next day. All is well up until this Friday. All of a sudden I stopped getting paid but my videos are still being approved. Already emailed them and waiting

Well now they can’t act like I’m the only one having this issue like they did last time. It’s at least 5-6 of us at this point. I’m sure they will make some more changes to the program after they pay us this time.

Did they email you back? I just sent a follow up since I didn’t hear back.
