Food Delivery Promo Codes 2020: GrabFood, Deliveroo, Foodpanda, WhyQ

Like an apocalyptic episode, the COVID-19 outbreak has rendered a lot of us fearful of stepping out in public.

Folks are hoarding canned goods, instant noodles, face masks, even toilet rolls (even though there’s no real need to!). Yet, considering the speed at which the number of cases are increasing — from naught to 67 cases in 23 days in Singapore — the country’s dramatic response is understandable.

Originating in Wuhan, the virus’ death toll has exceeded 2,000. Its mortality rate currently stands at 2.3%, which, despite being much lower than SARS’ 10% and MERS’ 34%, is still seen as a cause for concern. In case you’re planning to quarantine yourself because you’re not convinced that it’s safe yet to step out, and your grocery supply goes bust, you’ll need a budget-friendly strategy for ordering in. 

Here is the ultimate compilation of food delivery promotion codes you can use to ease your financial load. 

An industry OG founded in 2012, Foodpanda features a plethora of in-app deals including free delivery and restaurant-specific discounts. Although orders from this app typically come with a minimum spend of $5, it is the only platform that allows you to pay in cash upon delivery. You can also place orders with a guest account without having to officially sign up as a user. 

Unlike its rivals, Foodpanda is still developing its subscription service, Panda Pro, which currently works on an invite-only basis. Once it launches, it’ll provide free delivery on a prescribed number of purchases for a monthly fee. What puts Foodpanda ahead of the curve is its new Pandamart and Pandanow services — both of which are delivery services for groceries and household products.

Debuted at the start of 2018, GrabFood has become a popular food delivery option because of the convenience and rewards it offers. It leverages Grab’s extensive consumer base of taxi users, and its monopoly in the ride-sharing game to expand its range of services. For frequent Grab users, there’s the appeal of earning points from both rides and food orders, and being able to do it all in a single super app. 

What’s more, GrabFood doesn’t impose a minimum spend, and is the only app that includes McDonald’s. Sign up for its Food Plan, which will set you back by $9.99 a month for free delivery on 50 orders. The only catch is that it’s only applicable for purchases made with GrabPay or GrabPay Credits. 

Since this UK platform was brought to local shores in 2015, Deliveroo has proven to be a formidable contender among the new wave of online F&B services. It may not be the most affordable option around, but the app scores high on the front of user-friendliness. The firm also recently unveiled its first fully-automated food market, a 40-seater dining space that features 11 F&B brands and 10 kitchens. Place your order via one of its five kiosks and collect your food from a futuristic cubby.

Besides the credit card promotions, make use of the Deliveroo Plus subscription plan if you’re a Deliveroo devotee. You’ll get free delivery on unlimited orders and access to additional members-only deals and discounts for $14.90 a month. It also comes with a 7-day free trial.

One of the newest entrants to the food delivery scene in Singapore is WhyQ, a local app that specialises in delivering hawker fare. Founded in 2016 by Rishabh Singhvi and Varun Saraf, it boasts the lowest delivery fees in the market at $1.50 per order ($1 per order for 10 orders, and $0.50 per order for 50 orders) and does away with minimum spends (for select zones).

Save even more with a monthly subscription, which features three price tiers and a curated menu of food options. Pay fixed prices of $3.50 per meal for the Basic tier, $5.50 per meal for the Standard tier, and $7.50 per meal for the Premium tier. For 10 meals a month, the delivery fee per order will be reduced to $1. Purchase 15 meals a month for a $0.50 delivery fee, and 20 meals for a minimal $0.30.

You can save more on your next food delivery order when you have the right dining credit card. Use our simple comparison tool to find one that suits your lifestyle and even get rewarded with cash* or Apple AirPods* when you successfully apply for selected credit cards through SingSaver today!
