When the American Express Platinum card added the $15/mo Uber credit, hobbyists immediately realized that UberEATS purchases are triggering the credit as well, making the credit useful for a wider audience. It was usually considered a ‘hack’, something Amex might potentially remove at some point.
Now that most people aren’t using the Uber benefit, American Express is sending out an email touting that you can “Use your $15 Uber Cash benefit with Uber Eats”. This is somewhat interesting, and it makes the UberEATS ‘hack’ an official part of the benefit.
You can use UberEATS for ‘pickup’ orders as well if you want to save yourself the delivery fee and tip.
