Our Verdict
You can max this offer out by buying 20 sodas and getting $50 in Uber credit. Just be sure to split up the submission to two sodas per day. You can buy all the sodas at once (e.g. a few 6-packs of twenty ounce bottles), but you’ll have to submit at most two barcodes per day.
It might be worth buying the soda even if you won’t drink it, but certainly much better for those who’d buy it anyway. There are some Dr. Pepper bottles that are branded with the Uber promo, but a reader confirms that a non-branded bottle works too.
In the terms, they offer themselves the option to give you a $1 soda coupon instead of the $5 Uber coupon. But for now they’ve been giving the $5 Uber codes; the soda coupon is probably just meant as an ‘out’ for them in case they run out of Uber coupons or whatever.
There’s also a deal at Walmart to get $7 off $10 on a Diet Dr. Pepper purchase. You can buy 20 oz. Diet Dr. Pepper’s at Walmart 70% off, and use those for this Uber credit.
