What a year it has been, and 2020 still has several months ahead. Many of us have been taking safe haven there for almost 3 months at this stage. And if something like us, lunchtime could be the center of attention of your day.
When it comes to dining on site, price and variety are the key words. At this point in closing, we’re done with sourdough and banana bread. We want all the features to wear imaginable, and we prefer not to replace the tracksuit pants for that.
Enter Grubhub. If you’re not already familiar with this food delivery app in this quarantine season, here are a few reasons why you may need to do so.
With one of the widest restaurant networks across the U.S., Grubhub puts a wide range of food options at your fingertips through a single app on your phone, no matter where you travel in the country.
And in those dubious times, it is wise to maintain social estrangement procedures as much as possible. Grubhub offers contactless delivery or sidewalk pickup features to minimize exposure, stay safe while staying in your sweatpanies. Better yet, you’ll be able to track your rewards as soon as you place your first Grubhub order; you don’t need to register anymore.
We wouldn’t be TPG if we didn’t locate a bonus angle somewhere, and we’d talk at the end about the most productive credit cards for food delivery on this site. For Grubhub, this magic card is the American Express® Gold card, which grants four times the most club rewards that are consistent with the dollar spent in restaurants around the world, as well as monthly credits of up to $10.
TPG has to do with saving double and triple stack, and Grubhub also hits this front. Here are two additional tactics to win and save on Grubhub ordering.
Benefits are exclusive gifts from nearby places to eat that can only be obtained in Grubhub’s custody. Some donations are permanent, while others are seasonal and can cover a variety of bonus items for spouses, such as a dozen loose Red Lobster Cheddar Bay cookies.
For your own benefits at nearby restaurants, download the Grubhub app and go to the Benefits tab to see all the rewards you can get at nearby restaurants.
Occasionally, you find a merit that results from success in your budget, such as $10 off $30, an order of loose spring rolls with a plate or a slice of loose chocolate cake with a $25 order. Don’t despair, be creative! Invite your roommate to place an order with you, or plan ahead and order enough for two meals. This way, you can literally have your cake and eat it too.
Do you take a little dip after all this about food? Use the pointsGUY promo code for $10 off your first Grubhub order of $15 or more.
This premium subscription option complements your favorite food delivery and gives you enhanced benefits, including:
Intrigued? You can verify that Grubhub is loose when you register, and $9.99 consistent with the following month. If you have an Amex Gold card, it means that your credit consistent with monthly credits depreciates. Better yet, if you’re a student enrolled at one of Grubhub’s 150 spouse campuses, you can enjoy Grubhub on the loose.
So what would all of these perks look like in action? Let’s say you’re in the mood for pizza from from your favorite restaurant across town.
First, you release GrubHub and check the Benefits tab. You’re lucky: this place to eat offers an extra charge to charge on a loose order of churros as a bonus (usually $4 consistent with the order). You decide to “Use” and then the pizza and ingredients from your selection that charge $10. As you’re a Grubhub member, you automatically save on shipping rates ($2) and make in-app payment. Your total is $10.50 after tax, and you can drive and donate your replacement to a charity, so your total is $11. Pay with your Amex Gold card, which earns 4 times for every dollar you spend in places to eat around the world.
If you had bought your pizza for $10 directly at the restaurant, your total would have been $10 (pizza) – $4 (churros) – $2 (delivery) – 5% tax for a total of $16.80. Instead, he paid $11 in total, earned 44 editions of Amex Membership Rewards for dinner, and enjoyed Grubhub, without paying anything out of his own pocket, thanks to the monthly Amex Gold card credit. In addition, he donated $0.50 to a charity, and this donation coincided with Grubhub… and didn’t even have to leave his couch for nothing.
It is 2020 and it is your civic duty to host as much as possible. So order and let Grubhub praise you on Netflix and relax.
