Slightly off topic. Has anyone noticed that when submitting an order in Uber eats you are shown one $ amount but the final receipt that comes 10-12 hours later has a slightly higher amount?
I submitted an order for$45.xx the other day and the final receipt was $48.xx. There was a promotion of B1G1 on one item. But the final receipt lowered the promotion value.
I have noticed this also with smaller orders it's off by a dollar or so. I contacted them this time but they completely ignored me.
HUGE PSA- especially for folks that use only Ubereats when being offered coupons.
Ubereats has started removing coupons previously given to you- lookup "shadow bans" on other SD Ubereats thread.
This shadow ban shenanigan basically boils down to Ubereats baiting & switching removing coupons that they previously give to you.
This 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…
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
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.
AMEX offers 2% on Newegg transactions on purchases up to $250 (so roughly 3 gift cards of $100)
I bought 3 UBER gift cards, received within minutes and added codes relatively easily. Much easier than buying the same gift cards at Target or Paypal.
Excludes purchases of gift cards and electronic gift cards.
Because they provide weekly 40% off coupons
In for 5! Thanks OP!!

Not if they take away the 40% off coupon mid-way thru the promo
Had this happen to me. I received a few ago 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- the coupon was systemically removed from my order hence the higher final charge amount. Clearly a legal bait and switch.
And the coupon for my third order no longer shows up in my account as well.
Had my Uber account got 10+ years and have a 4.9 rating.
So consider yourself warned about 40% coupons- Uber might not suddenly take them away after awarding them and worse still from already confirmed orders that had them applied if you have a consistent history of only using Uber eats when offered coupons …
Interesting. I searched my inbox and I haven't received 40% coupons for a long time. I only use Uber (pick-up) monthly w/ Amex Plat's $15 credit (and don't buy much more than $15).
I guess I am not a cash cow to Uber, which I am fine with.
I'm not sure how they decide who to target with these. It seems random. I do pay for Uber one. And order at least 3x/week. I do find that if you keep a balance in Uber cash they are less likely to send coupons your way until you use up the balance. .

I concur. My coupons have completely died down as well. Uber member with Amex platinum
10% off is not what I consider "Front Page" but if you're using Uber anyway, then it's worth it. I use Uber in Honolulu, leaving for there in couple weeks, so may as well get 10% off the rides. Additionally this month is the $35 credit on Uber re: Amex Plat, plus $10 for Uber via Amex Gold, so one $100 gift card should cover it. Thanks.

I will second that! my coupon was removed after delivering the order, I called support and they asked for a screenshot of the coupon, which I never thought to do, eventually after many calls I just reached out to my credit card and created a claim, Chase credit me the difference. few days later Uber placed the difference as an past due on my account. I ignored it! few days later it is gone.
In light of above I am hesitant to use gift cards!!

Wow thanks for the HU, this is shady af! Another reason why I only like to apply one gift card at a time after I use them from various offers.
Also those on Amex Biz monthly top-ups, I believe they will utilize gift card before the monthy credits
