Uber Gift Cards

An Uber gift card is a great gift because it can be used for both rides and Uber Eats food orders. The person you give it to can choose how to spend it. Just remember: gift cards work only in the country where they were bought.

Here's exactly how to buy and redeem an Uber gift card.

How to Buy a Gift Card

Buying a digital gift card takes about a minute. Here's how:

  1. Go to Uber's gift card website or buy from stores like Amazon or PayPal.
  2. Pick a design and an amount (digital cards are often between $15 and $200, but physical cards can go higher).
  3. Enter the recipient's name, email address, and a personal message.
  4. Pay, and the digital gift card is sent straight to their inbox.

You can also buy physical gift cards at Walmart, Target, and many grocery stores.

How to Add a Gift Card to Your Account

If you got a gift card, here's how to add the money to your Uber balance:

  2. Go to "Account" and tap "Wallet" or "Payment."
  3. Tap "Add Funds" or "Add Payment Method" and choose "Gift Card."
  4. Type in the gift card code (no spaces).
  5. The amount is added to your Uber Cash and will be used automatically for your next ride or order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use the gift card for?

You can pay for Uber rides and Uber Eats deliveries in the country where the card was purchased. Gift cards cannot be used for family profiles, scheduled rides, or university campus card rides. They also can't be used in a different country.

Do Uber gift cards expire?

In the U.S., gift cards never expire and there are no fees. In some other countries, gift card codes must be redeemed within three years from activation, but once added to your account, the balance does not expire.

Can I use a gift card and a promo code together?

Yes. Your gift card balance acts like cash. If you have a promo code, the discount is taken off first, and the rest is paid from your gift card balance.

Can I add more than one gift card to my account?

Absolutely. You can redeem several gift cards. All the balances add up in your Uber Cash, up to a maximum of $2,000 (or the equivalent in your country). You cannot reload a gift card after it's been purchased.
