Uber credits for those with the American Express platinum have posted for February. I’m not sure if this is new (I haven’t seen it before) but Uber is also offering a 5% bonus when you purchase Uber credit in app. I used to think of Uber credit as ‘like cash’ but that has definitely changed in recent times with their reputation declining and also the fact that Uber gift cards have been on sale on a regular basis. Hat tip to Pandaieyez
How do these purchased credits work in conjunction with the American Express platinum credits? Will it use the American Express ones first since this purchase ones never expire?
Can you elaborate on the “declining reputation”?
Sure, Uber has been embroiled in scandals as of late. For example, sexual harassment.
I second the point about Uber GCs being on sale pretty regularly. Even without taking into account occasional deals where you can get $20 GC for $10 there have been several deals where you get $15 worth of store credit when buying $50 Uber GC, which is close to 30% off to me. Beats 5% any day.
I keep hearing of these mysterious offers but the ones I’ve actually found involve something very time limited or very limited in amount. If I’m going through a couple hundred on Uber a month I’m interested in something more reliable. This seems to do it and works out to ~9% off after CSR bonus
Note that it’s not a 5% discount. You buy $105 for $100, which is a discount of about 4.7%, so compare that with discounts you get elsewhere when buying uber gift cards.
I don’t see the option to purchase credits in the app?
Me neither. Hope this thread can provide more details
