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.
The promo shows a specific validity window through late July, which helps plan gift card purchases.
Some payment failures reportedly clear after retrying with the same card once bank-side fraud verification is resolved.
Trying a different payment method reportedly can help complete checkout when the gift card promo initially fails.
A $500 Uber gift card reportedly discounted to $450 can also stack with rewards from a 2% cash back card.
Gift card promo redemption can trigger an error during payment, preventing checkout completion.
Fraud-flagging behavior can block gift card transactions, and the workaround may require bank interaction or repeated retries.
The bank-blocking explanation is disputed because the same app error reportedly occurs across multiple cards and multiple wallet methods.
Some attempts reportedly fail even after extensive troubleshooting like clearing cache, reinstalling the app, and re-adding cards.

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.
