Promo codes for Uber Eats are discount codes that reduce what you pay on food orders, and they come from Uber directly, partner restaurants, or third-party deal sites
Uber Eats promo codes work by entering a code at checkout to knock a set amount off your order total or give you a percentage discount. The code might cover your entire order, apply only to delivery fees, or require a minimum order amount. Most codes are single-use and expire after a set date, though some can be used multiple times. Uber sends codes to existing users through email and the app itself, and new users typically get a first-order discount automatically.
The codes you find vary widely depending on where you look. Uber's own promotions appear in the app under a "Promotions" or "Offers" tab. Restaurants sometimes run their own codes for orders placed through Uber Eats. Deal aggregator sites like RetailMeNot, Slickdeals, and Brad's Deals post codes that users have reported working, though you should check the date posted and read comments to see if the code is still active.
Key Takeaways
- Promo codes appear in the Uber Eats app under the Promotions tab, in your email from Uber, and sometimes on restaurant pages within the app.
- New user codes typically give $10 to $20 off your first order, while existing user codes often cover delivery fees or offer smaller discounts.
- Most codes have an expiration date and a minimum order requirement, which the app will show you before you enter the code.
- Codes posted on deal sites may no longer work, so check the post date and read recent comments before trying one.
- You enter the code in the payment section of the app just before you complete your order.
Where Uber Eats posts its own promo codes
The Uber Eats app itself is the first place to check. Open the app, tap the account icon or menu, and look for "Promotions," "Offers," or "Your Offers." Codes listed there are may provide to work on your account and show the exact discount and any minimum order amount. The app also shows how many days the code is valid.
Uber also sends promo codes by email to registered users. Check your inbox and spam folder for messages from Uber or Uber Eats. If you have not received any codes recently, you can sometimes trigger a new-user or reactivation offer by uninstalling the app and reinstalling it, though this is not may provide and Uber's systems may recognize you as an existing user regardless.
During major holidays and promotional events — like Super Bowl Sunday, back-to-school season, or Uber's own promotional campaigns — the app often displays banner offers at the top of the home screen. These are usually available to all users in your region and do not require a code; the discount applies automatically.
How to enter a promo code in the Uber Eats app
Once you have selected your restaurant and added items to your cart, tap "Checkout" or "Review Order." On the payment screen, look for a field labeled "Promo Code," "Add Promo Code," or "Discount Code." Tap that field and type or paste the code exactly as written — codes are case-sensitive in some cases, so match uppercase and lowercase letters if they appear in the code.
After you enter the code, the app will show you whether it worked. If the code is valid, you will see the discount amount deducted from your total. If the code does not work, the app will tell you why — for example, "This code has expired," "This code is not valid for your location," or "Your order does not meet the minimum amount." Do not submit your order until the discount shows in your total.
Promo codes from restaurants and third-party sites
Individual restaurants sometimes create their own Uber Eats promo codes to drive orders. These codes appear on the restaurant's own website, social media pages, or directly on their Uber Eats page within the app. To find them, search for the restaurant in Uber Eats, tap on it, and scroll down — some restaurants display current promotions in their description or in a dedicated section.
Deal aggregator websites like RetailMeNot, Slickdeals, and Brad's Deals collect Uber Eats codes posted by users. These sites can be useful for finding discounts you might not see in the app, but codes posted there may have expired or may not work in your region. Always check the post date — codes older than a few weeks are less likely to work. Read the recent comments too; other users will usually say whether a code is still active.
What to know about code restrictions and expiration
Most Uber Eats promo codes come with restrictions. A code might be valid only in certain cities or regions, only for orders above a minimum amount (like $15 or $25), or only for delivery orders and not pickup. Some codes exclude certain restaurants or categories of food. The app will tell you all of these restrictions before you enter the code, so you can see whether it will work for your order.
Expiration dates vary. Some codes last a few days, others a few weeks. Once a code expires, it will not work, and Uber does not usually extend expiration dates. If you see a code you want to use, enter it before the expiration date passes. If a code does not work and you believe it should, take a screenshot of the error message and contact Uber support through the app.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use multiple promo codes on one order?
No. Uber Eats allows only one promo code per order. If you have multiple codes, choose the one that gives you the biggest discount for that particular order.
Do promo codes work on pickup orders or only delivery?
It depends on the code. Some codes work on both delivery and pickup, while others are restricted to one or the other. The app will show you the restrictions before you enter the code, so you will know whether it applies to your order type.
What happens if I enter a code and it does not work?
The app will show an error message explaining why — usually because the code expired, is not valid in your location, or your order does not meet the minimum amount. Check the message, and try a different code if you have one. If you believe the code should work, contact Uber support through the app.
Are there codes for existing users, or only for new users?
Both. New users typically get larger discounts on their first order. Existing users receive codes through email and the app, though the discounts are usually smaller — often $5 to $10 off or free delivery. Uber also runs periodic promotions for all users during holidays and special events.
Can I stack a promo code with a credit card offer or cashback app?
Yes. A promo code reduces your order total, and then you can pay with a credit card that offers cashback or use a cashback app like Rakuten or Fetch Rewards on top of that. The promo code discount applies first, and the cashback is calculated on the reduced amount.
