How Do I Use Uber and the Uber Eat Gift Card?

Hey! So you just scored an Uber or Uber Eats gift card? Sweet! Maybe it was a birthday surprise, a holiday treat, or hey, maybe you just treated yo’self (respect!). But now you’re staring at this little card or code thinking… “Okay, cool… but how do I actually use this thing?”

Relax, take a breath – it’s super simple, promise. This isn’t some complicated coupon. Think of it like free money chilling right inside your Uber app, ready to hook you up with your next ride across town or a feast delivered straight to your door. Maybe even both in the same day?

Seriously, using it is a breeze. We’ll walk you through it step-by-step – no tech headaches! Here’s the lowdown on what you’ll learn:

Flex it how you want: Card doesn’t cover the whole thing? No prob! Use what’s left on the gift card, and your regular payment method covers the rest. Easy peasy.

Slap that gift card code into your app: Adding it takes, like, 30 seconds flat. We’ll show you exactly where to tap.

Ride or eat? Your call! Order your Uber or grab those tacos on Uber Eats like usual. The app automatically grabs the gift card cash first. Boom. Done.

Here’s the lowdown: The main Uber Gift Card? That bad boy works almost everywhere Uber rides roll. Seriously, tap it for a lift across the city or even in tons of places worldwide. Pretty sweet, right? Then there’s the Uber Eats-specific card – that one’s strictly for the foodie vibes.

It’s your go-to for ordering tacos, sushi, burgers, whatever floats your boat, straight to your doorstep. No rides on this one, just pure deliciousness.

And the best part? Using them is a total breeze. Just pop that code into your app once, and bam – the credit sits there ready whenever you need it. No crazy expiration dates breathing down your neck on the main Uber card (nice!), and if someone sends you a digital gift?

It lands right in your inbox like magic. Super flexible, super practical. Whether you’re booking wheels or ordering dinner, it’s your hassle-free pass to get moving or get munching.

Uber Gift Card Vs. Uber Eats Gift Cards

A lot of people get these two gift cards mixed up. Totally understandable! They both have “Uber” in the name, right? But here’s the scoop – they’re actually different beasts, and knowing which is which saves you a headache later.

Think of the main Uber gift card like your magic carpet for getting around. Slap this bad boy on any Uber ride you can dream up – whether it’s a quick UberX hop, a fancy Uber Black night out, a big UberXL for the squad, or even splitting the fare with UberPool.

Basically, if it has wheels and an Uber logo, this card’s got you covered. Worldwide. Sweet deal!

The Uber Eats gift card, though? That’s your golden ticket to foodie heaven, only. It’s laser-focused on getting those restaurant goodies – pizza, sushi, burgers, you name it – delivered straight to your door via the Uber Eats app.

Want a ride? Sorry, this card’s strictly for satisfying your taco dreams, not getting you to the taco spot.

How you use ’em & the fine print:

• Adding Them: Both are super easy – just buy ’em online (or get gifted one digitally!), pop the code into your Uber or Uber Eats app, and boom, credit loaded. Done.
• Expiration? Here’s the BIG diff: The main Uber gift card? It never, ever expires. Seriously, that credit chills in your account forever until you use it (mic drop!). The Uber Eats gift card? Watch out – it dips out after one year from when it was bought. Use it or lose it!
• Made For: Uber card = rides. Uber Eats card = food. Keep it simple.

So yeah, while they’re both under the Uber umbrella, they’ve got totally different jobs. Double-check which one you’re grabbing or gifting to avoid a little “oops” moment. Always peek at the terms, but now you know the basics – you’re good to go!

(We’ll break down the key differences super clear in a cheat sheet table next!)

How to Redeem Your Uber Gift Card?
