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 discounted Uber gift cards are mainly valued as a cheaper way to fund rides, restaurant pickups, and Uber One. The cards can also be used to offset an annual Uber One membership, and the savings stack with restaurant promos or other cash back offers. The main friction is checkout and redemption, with orders sometimes canceled, a 14 day purchase limit, and the full charge needing to be covered by the gift card balance. Some also note that Uber pricing and fees can vary by account, so the value depends on how you use it.
Travelers who mainly use rides and restaurant pickups, because the credit works well for airport trips and occasional food orders.
The cards can be used for rides, restaurant pickups, and Uber One-related purchases. One workaround is to pay the ride with a credit card first, then switch the completed trip to the gift card in ride history; the full charge must be covered by gift card balance, so split payments are not allowed.
Prices and fees can vary by account, even for the same ride or order. Some accounts with Uber One or gift card balance can see higher prices, while other accounts see lower service fees or nearly identical ride prices.
The purchase limit is 1 order every 14 days, down to the minute. Some stores also cap physical card purchases at 2 per day, with the daily limit resetting the next day.
Costco can be fussy about matching the name, address, and email across the credit card, Costco account, and delivery instructions. Using a virtual card in Google Wallet reportedly helped where a normal business card kept getting canceled.
In the Uber app, search for Costco and use the Costco membership banner to link your account. After linking, you can buy the discounted membership with your Costco membership number, and the annual Uber One price can drop to about $40 when paired with the discounted gift cards.

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.
