I have the Amex Platinum and I end up doing a pick up to redeem my monthly $15 credit. For $15, I get maybe $11/12 worth of food.

Since then, no new promotions. I cancelled my membership yesterday.
Then like you guys mentioned, sometime in October, I started not getting any of the weekly 40% coupons anymore, and the ones I did find were super regional and none of them even worked. I promptly cancelled my membership then...
Since then, no new promotions. I cancelled my membership yesterday.
This past October, an 8 use 45% off $25+ up to $15, including pick up, promotion automatically appeared in my Uber Eats profile with a 3 week expiration. This appeared along side the usual 3 use 50% off $25+ up to $15 off promotion in my Uber Eats and 2 use $15 off $40 promotion in my Postmates profiles on each of those 3 weeks for a total of 23 redemptions up to $15 per redemption over 3 weeks. Midway through using these, I received the error, "The promotion you picked couldn't be applied to your order" and the selected promotion vanished from my profile. The next week rolled around with new promotions and the same problem. I received the error, "The promotion you picked couldn't be applied to your order" and the new promotion vanished from my profile. Support was useless so I canceled Uber One and moved on with my life.
Even at this moment, there's a 3 use 50% off $25+ up to $15 off promotion which Uber automatically put in my Uber Eats profile that I'm not even going to bother trying to use because I already know I'll receive the error, "The promotion you picked couldn't be applied to your order" and the promotion will vanish from my profile.
To summarize:
- All the promotions were provided by Uber.
- The vast majority of promotions automatically appeared in my profile. No code necessary. No code to share.
- Some promotions were sent by Uber Eats and Postmates by e-mail.
- I practically never placed an order without a meaningful discount.
- On weeks when Uber Eats or Postmates skipped or the promotion was mediocre, I turned to other food applications which also had discounts I planned to use.
I'm just not a profitable customer and I'm also no the only user on Slickdeals that Uber has shadow banned from placing orders with promotions.If you're account is soft banned, do you still get promos for alcohol and convenience stores? I get a ton of those so not sure if I am soft banned or not. How did you contact them to find out? Call or chat?

Customer service wouldn't help.
Anyone have suggestions what to do here? I'd really like to sign up to the promo.

I have not been getting food promos for awhile, only alcohol/convenience so I am not sure it is a fair test

I'm just not a profitable customer and I'm also no the only user on Slickdeals that Uber has shadow banned from placing orders with promotions.Also in the same boat as I only use only Ubereats when they offer my coupons.
This shadow ban shenanigan basically boils down to Ubereats baiting & switching removing coupons that they previously give to you.
Uber is a for profit company so they can do whatever they want. They don't have to give coupons to unprofitable customers but removing coupons mid-promo much less removing applied coupons to in-progress orders is super sketchy AF
Same thing happened to me today. A few ago I received an Uber in-app pop up 40% coupon for next 3 orders.
Used on first order no problem yesterday. Then today second order 40% shows on order checkout until after I placed I noticed the charge was more than the amount at order checkout.
Called support and they said their internal profitability algorithm said I no longer qualify for any future coupons.
Even worse- the system automatically modified the order I just placed a few seconds ago removing the 40% discount resulting in the higher charge - this is super illegal bait and switch move.
The 40% coupon which was still on my account a few minutes ago for a third future order and isn't supposed to expire until a few days later also disappeared from my account as well.
Consider yourself warned about Uber eats coupons. Uber can take them away as quickly as they offer you the coupon. They even stoop to borderline illegality by modifying in progress orders to remove your applied coupon…
FYI my Uber account is over 10+ years has tons of ride hailing history both from personal and work related trips with a 4.9 rating so I'm definitely a profitable customer on the ride side.
