I just randomly checked my Uber app today under the 'send a gift' section and I had a 10% off gift card promo active. YMMV
I forgot to note the expiration date on this but I think it said July 28.
Obv not as good as the 15% off they had going the last time, but better than nothing.
Community Reviews
This Uber and Uber Eats gift card promo is a straightforward 10 percent discount on Uber credit, with examples like $500 for $450 and extra card rewards on top. The deal is time limited, with the promo showing July 27 or July 28 as the end date. The main snag is checkout, where gift card payments can trigger fraud blocks or app errors, even across multiple payment methods. Clearing the bank fraud flag or retrying after verification is the main workaround, making this a useful discount if payment goes through.
Common Questions (4)
The payment failure is often caused by bank fraud protection flagging the gift card transaction, not by Uber itself. Retrying with Google Pay or PayPal, or clearing the fraud alert with your bank and trying the same card again, can get it through.
The promo is reported with two end dates in the thread: July 27 and July 28. If you want to use it, treat it as ending at the end of that window and buy before the earlier date to be safe.
Yes, the 10% discount brings a $500 gift card down to $450. With a 2% cash-back card, the purchase can also earn about $9 in rewards.
The listing is shown as "gift card," not explicitly "egift," so it appears to be a digital gift card purchase rather than a physical card. The thread does not show a separate physical-card option.

I tried a different card this time, and managed to get it to work. (And, luckily, that card - Capital One Savor - also has 10% cashback on Uber!)

The fact that none of your five accounts worked on the first try is unusual, but you can still resolve it by doing what I suggested. If you really don't want a rejection, you can contract your bank in advance and pre-authorize, but that's more of a hassle.
