Grubhub Launches the First-Ever “Fee Return” Giving Back $100K in Grubhub Credit This Tax Season
From April 6 through April 15, diners can file their Grubhub Fee Return application by submitting any 2025 receipt from any food delivery app with fees included for a chance to win $20 in Grubhub credit - turning one of the most dreaded times of year into something actually worth looking forward to, no spreadsheets required.
Easing "Taxiety" with The Grubhub Fee Return Tax season makes people rethink every purchase, including that late-night burrito that felt absolutely necessary at the time. With nearly half of Americans (46%) calling it the most financially stressful time of year3, it's no surprise "Taxiety" peaks during this time. Grubhub is flipping the script, turning that stress into something worth looking forward to.
Delivering Financial and Comic Relief To bring the idea to life and provide some levity to tax season, Grubhub partnered with comedian and social media star Veronika Slowikowska, whose signature humor captures the all-too-relatable spiral of reviewing one's spending.
"Tax season and I have a very complicated relationship. Being forced to revisit all my financial decisions from the past year has definitely led to some spiraling and maybe a little secret bill-shredding," said Veronika Slowikowska. "But unlike my past mistakes, delivery fees and service fees on bigger Grubhub orders are already a thing of the past, which feels like real growth. And now they're giving people the opportunity to get back some of the fees from last year's orders? I was like...finally. Something I can get behind. Let's bring a little joy to this otherwise painful moment."
In Grubhub's new campaign film, Slowikowska spirals through "Taxiety" in real time — crunching numbers, stressing over fees paid, and ultimately finding relief in a Fee Return she can actually taste. Watch the full film here.
