What an Uber Eats gift card gets you
Less obvious than the food itself: Uber Eats gift card credit added to an Uber account can also cover grocery and convenience delivery on Uber Eats, and in many markets the same balance applies to Uber rides, since the two share one wallet. There is no fee on the balance and it does not expire once added.
one format:
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes; the recipient confirms a short redemption step, then the credit lands in their Uber account. $25 to $200 via Dyme.
Multiple Uber Eats gift cards can be redeemed to one account; the combined balance applies across orders until used up.

Can I get a Uber Eats gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Uber Eats e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery. The discount channels are:
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Uber Eats cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value when in stock. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
- Retailer gift-card promotions. Supermarkets and pharmacies that carry Uber Eats cards periodically run gift-card bonus events, such as a small bonus card or extra fuel points with purchase, lowering the effective cost.
- Uber Eats promos and Uber One. Uber Eats sends in-app promo codes and order discounts, and an Uber One membership waives delivery fees on eligible orders. These lower the order cost the gift card credit has to cover.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards layer below: your credit card and Dyme Miles on the purchase, on top of any retailer gift-card promo or in-app offer.

How to buy via Dyme
Uber Eats e-gift cards on Dyme arrive in the recipient's inbox in under a minute.

How to buy on Uber

How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Uber Eats gift cards sit on supermarket and pharmacy gift-card racks at face value, sometimes during a store's gift-card bonus event. You pay no discount on the rack version but earn the retailer's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
Designs and personalization
Uber Eats e-gift cards use the standard digital card art, with seasonal designs around the holidays.
You can add a personal message at checkout; the recipient sees your note in the delivery email.
There is no co-branded or photo-personalized option for individual purchase.
Delivery and timing
- E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. The recipient confirms a Runa redemption step, then adds the code to Uber.
- Digital code via Uber: 1 to 60 minutes by email.
- Physical at a retailer: Immediate — walk out with the card.
Dyme does not mail physical cards. If you need a card in hand, a retail rack is the path.
Corporate and bulk buying
Uber for Business runs a gift-card and vouchers program for companies that want to cover employee meals, client gifts, or event catering through Uber Eats. Custom quantities and invoicing are available through Uber for Business.
