Uber is having a $25 off at BestBuy offer today. AirPods Pro 3 are currently on sale for $219.99 there.
Costco currently has two $50 Uber gift cards on sale for $79.99, so $200 worth of gift cards are $159.98.
Stack all of those together and it comes out to $154.99 + taxes and local uber fees. Those came out to an additional $25.30 for me but they will vary by local tax rate and local uber laws/fees.
Community Reviews
Apple AirPods Pro 3 can be had at a steep discount through Uber Eats when the Best Buy promo and Costco Uber gift cards line up, with some orders landing around $154 to $180 out the door after tax, fees, and tip. The strongest upside is the stacked savings, especially when Uber One, scheduled delivery discounts, or extra card credits apply. The main catch is that promo availability and stock are inconsistent, and some checkout attempts fail or get canceled after the gift cards are loaded. A good value if the app shows the offer and the store is actually accepting orders.
Common Questions (5)
Totals varied by location and tip, but reported out-the-door prices were around $174 to $190, with some paying about $177 or $180 after Uber One, promos, taxes, and tip. One example came to $172.72 including Massachusetts sales tax and a Cash App card discount.
Open Uber Eats, go to the Electronics category, and look for Best Buy; the $25 off offer appears in the promo section or at checkout. In some areas it only shows up in the cart, and the offer is for $25 off a minimum $75 delivery order from select retail stores.
Uber One can remove or reduce delivery fees and other charges, making the deal cheaper overall. Some orders also applied a monthly Uber One credit automatically, and family-shared Uber One benefits reportedly eliminated fees entirely.
The order can fail with promo or payment errors and leave the Uber Cash temporarily locked or deducted without an immediate refund. In some cases the balance was not released for days, so it is safest only if you can use Uber Cash later.
Yes, the Costco Uber gift cards can be used with the $25 Uber promo to lower the out-of-pocket cost on the AirPods Pro 3. The gift cards are typically bought at a discount from Costco, then applied in Uber at checkout along with the promo.

that said, I paid $198.31 out of pocket - delivery pending.
1. Costco purchase of cards (4 $50 cards for a total of $ 159.98) was no problem. Delivery took about 2 hours. But i was not in a hurry, so i was fine with it.
2. Things were somewhat unfortunate once I jumped on Uber. I paid an additional $38.33 out of pocket here.
NOTE: I got the same experience whether i was on Uber or Uber Eats. I didn't check out on both apps of course, but i went through the purchase worflow in both apps up to the point of finalizing sale, and all the numbers matched.
3. I had an Uber One membership so the delivery fee was discounted completely. NOTE: I live less than 4 miles from a Best Buy).
4. I got a $2 discount for delaying delivery a day. I was not in any rush, so this was fine with me.
5. I live in a small town in Ca, and don't often get many of the promos my friend from LA does. So I knew this $25 promo (and the other random promo) some people mentioned would not likely be available for me.
So in total, I spent $198.31 out of pocket.
The second cheapest offer I found on this item, was for $219.99 (on Amazon, etc.) and with taxes it would have been $239.24. Or a $40.93 difference.
This of course does not include the tip i might give the Uber driver, pending on how well that goes. But I will likely give about a $5 tip.
Not bad, but - noticeably - not as awesome as this post suggests reports.
After ordering, I also realized that if you have a US BAR credit card then you could have burned some of the points and with the RTR the effective discount would be even more than the Costco-Uber cards. Since the RTR 1.5x is going away later this month.
That is if my Costco UBER cards will get to me in time.

Best buy is about 2.3miles away and I'm thinking of using this promo for an apple watch. App is prompting me to tip approx $45 which obviously negates the savings.
