Uber is shutting down its loyalty program later this year
is a free program that lets you rack up points for every dollar you spend when hitching a ride or ordering food through Uber and Uber Eats. You can then use these points to earn discounts on future rides or deliveries. The more points you earn, the better perks you get — earning 7,500 points, for example, unlocks the highest Diamond tier, which comes with benefits like premium customer support, complimentary ride upgrades, better drivers, and three free Uber Eats deliveries.
But now that’s all going away. Uber isn’t offering a replacement for the program, and there isn’t another way to consistently earn perks and discounts unless you pay for an Uber One subscription, which. A $9.99 / month subscription comes with perks like free food deliveries, up to 10 percent off of “eligible” Uber Eats orders, and 5 percent off on rides from top-rated drivers.
Uber’s giving existing Rewards members a free one-month subscription to Uber One, but you’ll still have to pay after that. As a frequent Uber Eats user , it’s a bit upsetting to see Uber taking away a free and easily accessible loyalty program, something that’s becoming much harder to find these days.Subscribe to get the best Verge-approved tech deals of the week.Please confirm your subscription to Verge Deals via the verification email we just sent you.
