Update November 2nd, 2017: Uber has cut the rates drastically for most participating merchants. For example Whole Foods was at 10% and now it’s at 2% for most people. Applebee’s, Dunkin’ Donuts, Petco, IHOP are all reduced by 50%. Others are still at the 10% rate for now. Hat tip to reader Chucks
Update August 24th, 2017: Uber has officially announced the rerelease of Uber offers. I suspect this means it will be available in more cities/areas now. As always if it’s available to you then please let us know in the comments so we can update our list.
In August of 2016 Uber launched Uber Offers, this allowed you to link a Visa card and get a 10% Uber rebate at select merchants. When they updated the app in late 2016 this was removed. They have now added it back and it shows up as ‘Visa Local Offers’. You do need to opt in to be part of this new program and it’s not available to everybody/all regions. Here’s how to opt in:
- Make sure you have a Visa card added in your payment profile
- Click settings
- Click Visa Local Offers
- Click Count Me In
The program is basically the same, except that you don’t need to opt in to each business to receive the 10% Uber rebate. Any Visa card that is attached to your Uber profile will be eligible. Each merchant also has their own fine print, but gift card purchases at some locations seem to be working fine. No longer true (although doesn’t look to be enforced at all). Make sure you also use a card that earns at a high rate on whatever category your purchasing from (e.g restaurant/grocery)
