Starting this week, DoorDash’s DashPass members are in for a treat. The popular food and grocery delivery platform has announced an exciting partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery, offering a complimentary subscription to the Max With Ads tier of their streaming service. For those already enjoying DashPass’s perks like exclusive deals and $0 delivery fees, this new benefit adds a whole new level of value.
The Max With Ads subscription, typically priced at $9.99 per month or $99.99 annually, is now included with DashPass’s annual plan, which costs $96 per year. This means DashPass members can enjoy a wide array of shows and movies from HBO, Warner Bros., DC Universe, and more, all without any additional charge.
For those who prefer an ad-free streaming experience, DoorDash hasn’t left you out. DashPass members can upgrade to the ad-free version of Max for just $10.99 per month, significantly lower than the regular price of $16.99 per month.
This collaboration is DoorDash’s first venture into bundling streaming services with their subscription plans, following in the footsteps of similar deals like Walmart’s partnership with Paramount+ and Instacart’s with Peacock. “It’s all about understanding what our customers want and finding the right overlap between services,” says DoorDash’s Chief Marketing Officer, Kofi Amoo-Gottfried. “Max’s strong catalog of family and adult content aligns perfectly with our DashPass audience.”
And it’s not just about streaming. DoorDash plans to roll out several cross-promotions with Max, including campaigns tied to popular shows like HBO’s “House of the Dragon” and the upcoming DC series “The Penguin.” This means more exciting perks and exclusive content for DashPass members.
Warner Bros. Discovery’s global chief marketing officer, Pato Spagnoletto, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Max’s partnership with DoorDash provides an exciting, complementary pairing of services with a great value for consumers.” DoorDash’s President and COO, Prabir Adarkar, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the natural connection between streaming and delivery: “Streaming and delivery go hand in hand, and we’re thrilled to launch a coveted benefit for DashPass Annual Plan members.”
With around 18 million members and billions saved in delivery fees, DashPass has already been a game-changer for DoorDash customers. Now, with the addition of Max, it’s not just about getting food delivered to your door; it’s about delivering entertainment too. Whether you’re in the mood for a blockbuster movie or binge-watching a new series, DashPass and Max have you covered.
