What an Uber gift card gets you
One Uber gift card funds two services from a single balance: Uber rides and Uber Eats food delivery. The app applies the balance automatically before charging your default payment method, so you don't pick it each trip. The catch most buyers miss — Uber gift cards are country-locked, so a US card won't redeem on an account set to another country, and the balance can't be transferred to cash or another account.
two formats:
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemed by entering the code under Wallet in the Uber app. $15 to $500 per card via uber.com; $25 to $200 via Dyme.
- Physical card: Sold on retail gift-card racks. Load value printed on the card; redeem the code in-app the same way as an e-gift.
You can load multiple gift cards to one Uber account; the balances pool together and the app draws down the total before billing your card on file.
Where to buy: three channels compared

Retailer promos on Uber cards rotate by chain and season. Verify the offer before you buy.
Can I get a Uber gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Uber e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant delivery, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Drugstore and grocery promos. CVS, Walgreens, and supermarket gift-card racks periodically bundle Uber cards with a bonus card or a few dollars off. Physical only, in store, while supplies last.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Uber cards from third parties, usually a few percent below face value. Verify the balance and confirm the card isn't country-locked to a region you can't use.
- Uber promo credit (not the gift card). Uber issues ride and Eats promo credits through the app and partner offers. These are separate from gift cards and apply only to the account that receives them.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Uber One on the rides you take, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single Uber gift card purchase through Dyme.
Credit-card rewards
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses.
- Capital One Venture X: 2x miles on essentially every purchase, including gift cards
- Citi Double Cash: 2% back on everything (1% when you buy + 1% when you pay)
- Amex Gold: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 4x dining and 4x groceries do not apply
- Chase Sapphire Preferred: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 3x dining and 2x travel do not apply
Uber One
- Join cost: $9.99/month or $96/year
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: up to 6% Uber Cash back on eligible rides and Uber Eats orders
- Reward threshold: member pricing plus $0 delivery fee on eligible Eats orders
Uber One does not earn on the gift card purchase. It returns Uber Cash and waives fees on the rides and Eats orders you pay for with the balance.
Dyme Miles
- Base rate: 1 Mile for every dollar
- Special rate: 5 Miles per dollar
- Expiration: never
- Blackouts: none
- Redeem on: over 2 million hotels and 600 airline partners
$100 Uber e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, used by an Uber One member
- Citi Double Cash: $2 back (2% of $100)
- Uber One on rides and Eats: up to 6% Uber Cash back on eligible orders paid from the balance
- Dyme Miles on the purchase: 100 Miles (1 per dollar), or 500 on a special offer (5 per dollar)
Illustrative only. Card rates, brand-program terms, and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

How to buy on uber.com
- Go to uber.com/gift and choose an e-gift card.
- Pick the amount ($15 to $500), enter the recipient's email, and add an optional message.
- Check out. Uber does not run a member discount on gift cards. The recipient adds the code under Wallet in the app.
How to buy in store
Uber doesn't operate retail stores, so there's no first-party counter to buy from. The in-person path is a physical Uber card on a gift-card rack at Target, CVS, Walgreens, or a grocery chain. Pick the load amount, pay at the register, and the recipient redeems the printed code in the Uber app.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Physical Uber cards hang on the third-party gift-card racks at Target, CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Safeway, and similar chains in $25, $50, and $100 loads. They sell at face value most of the time, with occasional bundle promos. You earn the retailer's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
Designs and personalization
E-gift cards: a small set of Uber-branded designs with a customizable message, suited to birthdays, thank-yous, and last-minute gifts.
Physical cards: standard Uber card art on retail racks, sometimes in a folding gift carrier sold separately.
There is no co-branded or custom design for individual purchase. For bulk and branded orders, see corporate ordering below.
Delivery and timing
- E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. Redeem the code under Wallet in the Uber app.
- E-gift via uber.com: 1 to 60 minutes by email, or schedule for a future date.
- Physical at a retailer: Immediate — walk out with the card and redeem the code in-app.
Dyme does not mail physical cards. If you need a card in hand, a retail gift-card rack is the path.
Corporate and bulk buying
Uber for Business runs a vouchers and gift-card program for companies that want to cover employee or customer rides and meals at scale, with custom amounts, bulk distribution, and centralized billing. Contact Uber for Business to set up vouchers or bulk gift cards.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use an Uber gift card for Uber Eats?＋
Yes. Uber gift cards cover both Uber rides and Uber Eats orders from the same balance. Once the code is added to your account, the app applies the balance automatically across both services.
Do Uber gift cards expire?＋
No. Uber gift cards do not expire and carry no fees. The full purchased value stays on the account until it's used.
How do I redeem an Uber gift card?＋
Open the Uber app, go to the Account or Wallet section, tap to add a gift card or payment method, and enter the code. The balance applies automatically on your next eligible ride or Eats order.
What denominations are available?＋
$15 to $500 through uber.com, and $25 to $200 through Dyme. Physical cards on retail racks are typically $25, $50, and $100.
Can I use an Uber gift card in another country?＋
No. Uber gift cards are country-specific. A US gift card only redeems on an Uber account set to the United States; it won't work on accounts based in other countries.
Can I get cash back from an Uber gift card?＋
No. Uber gift card balances are not redeemable for cash and can't be transferred to a bank account or another Uber account, except where required by law.
Can I use multiple Uber gift cards on one account?＋
Yes. You can add multiple gift cards to a single Uber account. The balances pool together and the app draws down the combined total before charging your card on file.
Can I check my Uber gift card balance?＋
Yes. After redeeming the code, your gift card balance shows in the Wallet section of the Uber app. Unredeemed cards show their value on the card or in the delivery email.
Can I sell an Uber gift card I don't need?＋
Yes. Secondary marketplaces like Raise and CardCash buy unwanted gift cards, paying a percentage of face value based on demand. Confirm the card's country before listing, since region-locked cards have a smaller buyer pool.
Does Uber offer corporate gift cards?＋
Yes, through Uber for Business, which provides vouchers and bulk gift cards with custom amounts and centralized billing for rides and meals.
Are e-gift cards delivered instantly?＋
Usually within 1 to 60 minutes. Gmail's Promotions filter occasionally delays delivery — check there if you don't see it arrive.
