Now that Uber & DD are back at Costco, these are normal prices in line with other gift cards. A deal on these now from costco would be like additional $5 off. I hope we can see something like that again in the near future.
Costco's Uber gift cards are back at the usual discounted price, and the main appeal is still stretching ride or delivery credit a bit further. The cards can also be used for Uber One, restaurant pickups, and occasional travel rides, with some shoppers stacking them with restaurant promos or a PayPal debit card grocery bonus. The main friction is that Costco orders can be picky, e-gift cards may be canceled or delayed, and the full gift card balance has to cover a charge. It is a useful way to prepay Uber spending if you can work within the purchase limits and account rules.
Travelers who mainly use rides and occasional restaurant pickups, because the credit can cover airport trips and takeout without needing to rely on delivery.
Shoppers who expect the gift card balance to split cleanly across a payment, because the full amount has to be covered by the gift card and can leave leftover credit.
Some accounts show the same or only slightly different fares, while others show higher ride or delivery prices and fees after gift card use. The reported workaround is to pay by credit card first, then change the payment method to the gift card after the trip is completed.
The online offer is limited to one order every 14 days, down to the minute. Some stores also have physical card limits, such as 2 cards per day that reset daily.
In the Uber app, search for Costco and open the membership banner under the search/store area. Link your Costco account there using your Costco membership number, then you can buy the discounted Uber One membership.
The full ride amount has to be covered by the gift card when you switch payment methods, so split payment is not supported. If the balance is short, you can end up with leftover gift card credit.
Delivery can take many hours; one order was still missing after about 17 hours and later got canceled. If the order is canceled, the digital portal workaround did not help in that case.
Has anyone ever noticed that when gift cards are loaded on your Uber account that your ride quotes are always higher than the friend standing next to you pulling up the same ride?

I've checked this multiple times when traveling with my wife. I have credit on my app and she does not. Our rates are almost always the same; Occasionally off by a few cents.

I have noticed that those with an Uber One subscription sometimes get higher prices than the non-Uber One members. This is not right since members should get better rates or the same rates as non-members. Uber one membership is supposed to save money but now it costs more for trips.

Yes, that is true, but if u try to quote few times, the price will come down.

I don't get why Costco Members don't check Costco first when buying gift cards.
