If you’ve replaced a card or want to clean up your Grubhub wallet, the iPhone removal flow is a swipe-and-confirm. Watch the walkthrough below, or follow the step-by-step underneath.
Remove a payment method on iPhone
- Tap the Grubhub app to open it.
- On the home screen, tap My Grubhub at the very bottom.
- Tap the gear icon at the top-right.
- Tap the Payment tab.
- On the payment methods list, swipe left on the credit card you want to delete.
- Tap the Delete icon that appears.
- Tap Delete again to confirm.
The card is removed from your wallet immediately.
Important rules
- Pending orders lock the card. Wait for any in-flight order to complete before removing the card it’s tied to.
- Removing a card doesn’t cancel Grubhub+. If the deleted card was your Grubhub+ billing card, Grubhub will prompt you to update before next renewal.
- Apple Pay and Google Pay are wallet tokens — removing the Grubhub-side connection doesn’t affect them on your phone.
- PayPal can be removed from Grubhub; for a clean revoke, also disconnect Grubhub from PayPal → Settings → Permissions → Manage Authorized Apps.
What changes after you remove a payment method
| What | Effect |
|---|---|
| In-flight orders | Not affected. The charge is locked to the card chosen at checkout. |
| Past orders | Stay in your order history. |
| Future orders | Grubhub prompts you to choose or add a payment at checkout. |
| Grubhub+ subscription | Continues; bills the active Grubhub+ payment method. |
| Apple Pay / Google Pay on your phone | Unaffected. |
| Pending refunds | Process to the original card via the transaction record. |
Common removal errors and fixes
“Cannot remove — order in progress” — wait for the order to complete, then retry.
Swipe doesn’t reveal Delete — update the Grubhub app via App Store.
Card disappears, then reappears — app cache. Sign out (Account → Sign Out), sign back in.
Removed but appears at checkout — same cache issue. Sign out and back in.
“Card required for subscription” — Grubhub+ uses this card. Update Grubhub+ payment first (Account → Grubhub+ → Manage), then retry the deletion.
Pro tips
- Add the new card before removing the old one — same pattern as DoorDash. Avoids the “no payment method on file at checkout” friction.
- Audit annually — old cards from years past clutter the checkout. Periodic cleanup.
