Our Verdict
I’m not up to date on what other signup bonuses there are for signing up with Uber, but this is a nice bonus for signing up and taking a single trip. Maybe it can stack with other offers or referral offers too, feel free to comment below.
There’s a separate offer to get $250-$297 when you sign up with UberEats; seems to be a separate signup page so you can probably do both bonuses (?).
If you’re new to Swagbucks then please read our review. You can get a bonus of up to $13 by using a referral link.
Post History:
- Update 11/15/22: Somebody from Swagbucks wanted to clarify that you can do this deal if you’ve previously done the UberEats deal as well. If you did both and it wasn’t credited then please reach out to Swagbucks to resolve the issue.
- Update 11/10/22: Offer increased to $300 on Swagbucks with registration and a single driver requirement. (ht @addingpennies)
You have to get your vehicle inspected which costs time and money and in many cases need to get a permit from the city to drive people. The uber eats one is way easier.
“Uber inspections are free of charge if you go through a Greenlight Hub location. This isn’t the case for third-party mechanics – you’ll need to pay a fee if you have your vehicle inspected somewhere other than a Greenlight Hub. Uber doesn’t cover these costs.”
I read that inspections from third parties might be $25 or $35 or even $50 which would make this offer a no-go for me. But, I have a Greenlight Hub 20 minutes away…… you’re right that there is still the time cost so I’m debating it.
Who am I kidding I’m gonna do it. I’ll let y’all know how it goes. I just did the Uber Eats offer for ~$300 and wrote up a detailed report on that page. That was definitely easier.
Oh wow the Uber eats was $300 too? Isn’t there a referral for signing up as well?
Can that first trip be to pick up a friend?
Friend, relative, or anyone.
Yes, but good luck getting that request to match to you.
Was your car insurance affected? Premium rise?
Thanks for mentioning this. I just saw I have one nearby as well. Think I’ll set this up and have P2 call the “Uber” once approved.
It’s free go to jiffy lube
I did this offer, and they never inspected my car. It was super easy.
They probably only have increase when they need drivers, and around holidays, but if it shows up again let me know.
Be sure to keep checking on your SB. Mine was just stuck as pending. Had to file a claim and they wanted signup email, proof in app of first ride, etc. But did manually credit the funds.
I didn’t save a copy of the terms when I signed up 3 weeks ago.. By the way, it took 3 weeks for my Uber Drive account to be approved.. now the Swagbucks terms say “Must take your first passenger drive (Rides with car, not delivery) within 21 days of signing up.”
2 – 3 weeks ago did the terms say 21 days or 30 days?
fire deal but only 51k came in pending not sure why anyone has the some insight??
How long did it take for you? I completed my 1st trip 5 days ago and swagbucks shows nothing
Submitted a ticket just now. Waiting
I did the Uber Eats promo, completed a delivery and Swagbucks will not pay out.
This was the response from customer service. Bolded their BS claim that a purchase has to be made to get the payout which obviously it doesn’t.

I don’t have a car.. what options would there be to rent a car from Uber to complete one trip?
Even with the required permit in my state (free), and the required inspection (maybe free), and notifying my insurance co, I was going to do it, but my late model pickup (king cab Frontier) doesn’t meet the standard of having rear doors that are independent of the front doors, so it’s a no go.
403 forbidden when I load Swagbucks. Has been like this for months. Anyone know how to fix?
What if you already have an uber driver account but never done a ride?
