How to Redeem an Uber Gift Card

Did you receive an Uber or Uber Eats gift card for the holidays this year? Uber gift cards have become increasingly more popular in recent years as corporate holiday gifts, teacher gifts, and even as stocking stuffers. Redeeming and enjoying your Uber gift card is quite simple! Follow the below steps to apply your gift card to your Uber balance.

In the Uber app

1. Make sure you have the latest version of the Uber app.
2. Tap the menu icon and select Wallet.
3. Tap Add Payment Method or Redeem Gift Card.
4. Then tap Gift Card.
5. Enter your PIN/gift code (with no spaces).
6. Tap Add.

In the Uber Eats app

1. Make sure you have the latest version of the Uber Eats app.
2. Tap the Account icon and select Wallet.
3. Select Add Payment Method.
4. Select Gift Card.
5. Enter your PIN/gift code (with no spaces).
6. Tap Add.

Please note that once a gift card is added to an Uber account, it can’t be transferred to another individual!

Once you have redeemed your gift card, the value will either be added to your Uber Cash or Uber credits balance (depending on your location), which allows you to use your funds on both Uber and Uber Eats. 

When you are ready to check out on the Uber platform, your Uber Cash or Uber credits balance will be chosen as your primary way to pay. If for some reason this is not the case, simply tap on your current selected payment method and switch the toggle to state that you would like to use your Uber Cash or Uber credits first.

If your Uber Cash or Uber credits are not completely used up after your purchase, the remaining balance will be applied to your next ride or order.

Gift Card Limitations

1. Gift cards can only be spent in countries that accept the same currency as the gift card originally issued in.
2. The gift card amount can’t be used for family profiles, scheduled rides, or university campus card rides.
3. You can’t reload a gift card after it has been purchased, but you can add multiple gift cards to an Uber account. Each Uber account can hold a maximum limit of $2,000 in total gift card value.
