Thanks for the heads up!
I did a fair amount of testing with this after people mentioned it here. And I don't think its true.
I tested it by looking at fares on lyft and they were similar. for 2 rides from lax to my home and from my destination airport to the hotel. lyft and uber were similar.
Then I had my wife do the same check and her prices were the same. I also had my brother check for airport to a destination 1 block from hotel since he doesn't have gift cards either and his were the same.
Just to be extra sure that those higher rates weren't due to airport fees. I then had my wife, my dad, my brother and myself check rates from location close to our hotel to location close to our destination on both Uber and Lyft.
All the rates had parity, just a few bucks off with Uber GC account sometimes being lowest by 1 or 2 bucks and someone times being most expensive by 1 or 2. I don't attribute the fluctuation to GC gouging.
But someone could run more tests with more control groups.

With balance I still get useless convenience store and other promos.
