How to Use an Uber Gift Card

You can apply Uber credits to your account by using an Uber gift card. Follow these simple steps to load your gift card credit into your account.

1. Update your Uber app by downloading the latest version.
2. Click on the menu and choose “Payment.”
3. Select “Add Funds” and choose “Gift Card.”
4. Enter gift card code. Be sure to include no spaces.

You can also add credit by following these steps.

• Click on the menu and choose “Add Payment Method.”
• Select “Gift Card.”
• Enter gift card code.

Once you have the money set up as credit, it is added to your Uber Cash balance. By default, Uber will use your gift card on your next purchase. However, you can confirm the payment method, and if you want, you can change it at the time of the request. If you don’t use up all your credit on one purchase, the remainder will be available for your next purchase. After adding a gift card to an account, you can’t transfer the amount to another one. Be sure you are adding it to the correct account right off the bat.

Are You Having an Issue Using Your Gift Card?

We think using these cards is uncomplicated. But if you disagree, read the following to troubleshoot any issues you may experience.

• Connect your Payment Method to your account, especially if the balance due is more than the amount on the gift card. You will need to pay the additional amount that is not covered by the gift card. Other accepted Uber payment methods include credit and debit cards, Venmo, digital wallets, and PayPal.
• Ensure that you use Uber gift cards in the country where they were bought. You can only use gift cards for Uber Eats or rides within the purchase country. Additionally, you are not allowed to use gift cards on rides scheduled, in family profiles, or for university campus card rides.
• Once you upload your gift card amount, you are unable to reload it. However, up to $1,000 of gift card credit can be added to your account at a time. Once you use some of the credit, you can then reload more to your account. 
• You can not transfer credit to another account once you add the gift card to an account.
