What this promotion covers and how to use it
The Uber Eats $25 off $26 promotion is a limited-time discount code that reduces your order total by $25 when you spend at least $26. This means your final cost is typically $1 or less before tax and delivery fees. The code is usually sent to new users via email or appears in the Uber Eats app as a one-time offer.
To use it, you enter the code at checkout before you pay. The discount applies to food and drinks from participating restaurants in your area. The code works only once per account and only on orders that meet the minimum spend — if your cart is under $26, the code will not work.
Tax and delivery fees are added after the discount is applied, so your total out-of-pocket cost depends on those additions. Some users pay $1 to $5 total; others pay more if delivery fees are high in their area.
Key Takeaways
- The $25 discount requires a minimum order of $26 before the code is entered, so you need at least $26 worth of food in your cart.
- The code is typically a one-time use offer sent to new Uber Eats users via email or shown in the app.
- Tax and delivery fees are charged on top of the discounted price, so your final bill is usually $1 to $10 depending on your location.
- The promotion works only at restaurants that participate in Uber Eats in your delivery area.
Where to find your promo code
New Uber Eats users usually receive the $25 off $26 code by email shortly after signing up. Check your inbox and spam folder — the email typically comes from Uber or Uber Eats with the subject line containing "promo" or "discount."
If you do not see an email, open the Uber Eats app and look for a banner or notification on the home screen or in the "Account" section. Some users see the code displayed directly in the app under "Promotions" or "Offers." You can also check your email receipt from account creation — the code is sometimes included there.
If you have an Uber account (for rides), you may already have Uber Eats linked to it. In that case, check your Uber app as well — sometimes Uber Eats promos appear in the main Uber app under the "Wallet" or "Promotions" tab.
How to enter the code at checkout
Open the Uber Eats app or website and add items to your cart until the total reaches at least $26. Then proceed to checkout by tapping or clicking the cart icon.
Before you enter your payment method, look for a field labeled "Promo Code," "Discount Code," or "Add Promo." Tap or click that field and paste or type the code exactly as it appears in your email. The discount should show up immediately in your order summary.
If the code does not work, check that you have entered it correctly (codes are usually case-sensitive), that your order is at least $26, and that you have not already used the code on another order. If you still have trouble, contact Uber Eats support through the app.
What happens to tax and delivery fees
The $25 discount is subtracted from your food total, but tax and delivery fees are calculated and added afterward. This means if your food costs $30 and you get $25 off, your food cost becomes $5 — then tax and delivery are added on top.
Delivery fees vary by location, restaurant, and time of day. In some areas, delivery is $2 to $3; in others, it can be $5 to $8 or more. Tax is calculated based on your local rate and the final food price after the discount.
To see your exact total before you pay, the app shows a breakdown at checkout: subtotal (after discount), tax, delivery fee, and any tips you add. You can review this before confirming your order.
Restrictions and common reasons codes do not work
The $25 off $26 code is usually a one-time offer, meaning you can use it only once. After you use it, the code expires and cannot be used again on the same account. If you have multiple Uber Eats accounts, you may be able to use the code on each account, but Uber's system may block this if the accounts are linked to the same phone number or payment method.
The code does not work if your order is under $26 before the discount is applied. Some restaurants or items may be excluded from promotions — for example, alcohol, certain fast-food chains, or items marked as ineligible. The code also does not work on orders placed through third-party websites or apps; you must use the official Uber Eats app or website.
If you are in an area where Uber Eats does not operate, or if the promotion has ended, the code will not work. Uber Eats promos are time-limited and vary by region, so a code that worked last month may no longer be active.
What to do if the code does not work
First, verify that you have entered the code correctly — check for extra spaces, capital letters, or typos. Copy and paste the code directly from your email rather than typing it by hand.
Next, confirm that your order total is at least $26 before you apply the code. If it is under $26, add more items to your cart and try again.
If the code still does not work, it may have already been used, expired, or been limited to a specific region or restaurant type. Contact Uber Eats support through the app by going to "Account" > "Help" and selecting "Promo Code Issues." Describe the problem and include the code you are trying to use. Support can tell you whether the code is still active and why it is not working on your account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this code more than once?
No. The $25 off $26 promotion is typically a one-time use code per account. After you use it once, it expires and cannot be used again on the same Uber Eats account. If you have a second account with a different email and phone number, you may be able to use the code there, but Uber may block this if the accounts are linked to the same payment method.
Do I have to tip before or after the discount is applied?
Tips are added after the discount and after tax and delivery fees. You can set your tip amount at checkout, and it will not affect whether the discount code works. The tip is separate from the food cost and is not reduced by the promo code.
What if my order total is $25.50 — can I use the code?
No. The code requires a minimum order of $26 before the discount is applied. If your cart is $25.50, you need to add at least $0.50 more in food to reach $26 and unlock the code. Once you do, the $25 discount will reduce your food cost to $0.50, plus tax and delivery.
Does this code work on alcohol or convenience store items?
Most Uber Eats promo codes exclude alcohol and some convenience items, though this varies by region and promotion. Check the terms in your email or in the app when you view the code — it will list any excluded categories. If you are unsure, add items to your cart and try the code at checkout; the app will tell you if any items are ineligible.
Can I combine this code with other Uber Eats promotions?
No. You can use only one promo code per order. If you have multiple codes, you must choose which one to apply. Usually, you should use the code that saves you the most money — in this case, the $25 off $26 is typically the best offer available to new users.
