What Costco members get through Uber
Costco offers discounted Uber rides and Uber Eats delivery to members in the United States through a partnership. The discount applies when you use your Costco membership number or a linked account in the Uber app. You do not get a separate Costco Uber card or code — the discount is built into the app once you connect your membership.
The discount amount varies by location and changes periodically. Costco members typically receive a percentage off Uber rides, Uber Eats orders, or both, though the exact discount differs by region. Some areas offer credits toward your first ride or delivery, while others offer ongoing percentage reductions. Check your Costco membership materials or the Uber app to see what is available in your area.
This benefit is included with your Costco membership at no additional cost. You do not need a separate subscription or membership tier — any active Costco member can link their account.
Key Takeaways
- Link your Costco membership to the Uber app through your account settings to see available discounts in your region.
- Discounts vary by location and may cover rides, Uber Eats delivery, or both, so check what applies where you live.
- The discount is automatic once linked — you do not need to enter a code or claim it separately.
- Costco membership itself must be active and current for the Uber discount to work.
How to link your Costco membership to Uber
Open the Uber app and go to your account settings, usually found by tapping your profile icon. Look for an option to add a membership or loyalty program. Select Costco from the list of available programs.
You will be asked to enter your Costco membership number. This is the number on the front of your Costco card. Enter it and confirm. The app will verify your membership status. Once linked, any ride or delivery you request should show the discount automatically at checkout.
If you do not see a Costco option in the Uber app, the benefit may not be available in your region yet. Costco and Uber periodically expand or adjust which areas have this partnership, so check back later or contact Costco member services to confirm whether the discount is offered where you live.
What the discount covers
Costco's Uber partnership typically covers either Uber rides, Uber Eats food delivery, or both. The specific coverage depends on your location. In some regions, the discount applies only to UberX or standard ride options, not to premium services like Uber Black. In others, it may cover all ride types.
For Uber Eats, the discount usually applies to the food and drink subtotal, not to delivery fees or service charges. Read the terms shown in your Uber app for your specific area to understand what is and is not discounted.
The discount does not stack with other promotions. If Uber is running a separate promotion code or offer, you typically cannot combine it with the Costco member discount. Use whichever gives you the better price for that particular trip or order.
When the discount does not work
If you link your membership but do not see the discount at checkout, your Costco membership may have expired. Costco memberships renew annually, and the Uber app will not apply a discount if your card is no longer active. Renew your membership at Costco or online, then try your next Uber request.
The discount may also fail to appear if you are outside the service area where the partnership is active. Costco and Uber do not offer this benefit everywhere in the United States. If you travel to a region where the partnership does not exist, the discount will not show.
If your membership is current and you are in a covered area but still do not see the discount, try unlinking and relinking your Costco account in the Uber app. Sometimes the connection needs to be refreshed. If the problem continues, contact Uber support through the app or Costco member services.
How this compares to other membership discounts
Costco offers discounts on other services beyond Uber, including travel, insurance, and pharmacy services. These work similarly — you link your membership in the partner's app or website and the discount appears automatically. The Uber discount is one of many perks included with membership, not a standalone benefit.
Other ride-share and delivery services may offer their own membership programs or discounts, but they are separate from Costco. Uber is the only major ride-share platform with a direct Costco partnership in most regions. If you use other services like Lyft or DoorDash, you would need to check whether those companies offer separate discounts or memberships.
What happens if your membership lapses
If your Costco membership expires, the Uber discount stops working immediately. The app will not apply the discount to your next ride or order. You will be charged the full price unless another promotion is active.
If you renew your membership, the discount should reactivate automatically if your account is still linked in Uber. If it does not, unlink and relink your membership in the Uber app to refresh the connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to use my Costco card to get the Uber discount?
No. You link your membership number in the Uber app, not your physical card. As long as your membership is active and linked, the discount applies to any Uber account you use with that membership number.
Can I use the Costco Uber discount on someone else's Uber account?
No. The discount is tied to the Uber account that is linked to your Costco membership. If someone else uses their own Uber account, they would need to link their own Costco membership to receive the discount.
What if I have multiple Costco memberships in my household?
Each Costco membership number can be linked to one Uber account. If you have multiple memberships, each person can link their own membership to their own Uber account to receive the discount.
Does the discount work on Uber Eats gift cards?
No. The discount typically applies only to orders placed directly through the Uber Eats app or website when your membership is linked. Gift cards are prepaid and do not receive the membership discount.
Is the Costco Uber discount available everywhere in the United States?
No. The partnership is available in many regions but not all. Check the Uber app in your area to see whether the Costco option appears in your account settings. If it does not, the benefit is not yet available where you live.
