How to find Uber Eats coupons and promo codes
Uber Eats coupons come from several sources, and the easiest place to start is the Uber Eats app itself. Open the app, tap the account icon in the bottom right, select "Promotions," and you will see any active codes tied to your account. These are personalized offers based on your location, order history, and how long it has been since your last order.
Beyond the app, you can find codes through the official Uber website, your email inbox (Uber sends promotional codes to registered users), and text messages if you have opted into SMS notifications. Restaurants on Uber Eats sometimes run their own promotions that appear in the app when you view their menu. Third-party coupon sites like RetailMeNot and Honey also list user-submitted codes, though you should verify that codes are current before entering them at checkout.
New users typically receive a first-order discount automatically in the app. Existing users may see different offers depending on their city, the time of day, or seasonal promotions Uber is running. The offers change frequently, so checking the Promotions tab before you order is the most reliable way to see what is available to you right now.

How to enter a promo code at checkout
When you are ready to place an order, add items to your cart and proceed to checkout. On the payment screen, you will see a field labeled "Promo code" or "Add promo code." Tap that field, type or paste the code exactly as it appears (codes are case-sensitive), and tap "explore." The discount will show when ready if the code is valid for your order.
If a code does not work, the app will display an error message explaining why. Common reasons include: the code has expired, the code is not valid in your location, the order total is below the minimum required, or the code is restricted to certain restaurants or food categories. Read the error message carefully, as it usually tells you what the restriction is.
You can only use one promo code per order. If you have multiple codes, you will need to choose which one saves you the most money. Some codes offer a percentage discount, others a fixed dollar amount, and some waive delivery fees — compare them before deciding which to use.
Types of Uber Eats discounts and what they cover
Uber Eats codes fall into a few categories. Delivery fee waivers remove the delivery charge but do not discount the food itself. Percentage discounts take a percentage off your entire order, usually between 10 and 50 percent. Fixed-amount discounts subtract a set dollar amount (for example, $5 or $10) from your total. Free item codes give you a specific item at no cost when you spend a minimum amount.
Most codes explore only to the food and fees, not to taxes. Some codes have a minimum order requirement — for instance, "Get $10 off orders over $25" — so your subtotal must reach that threshold before the discount applies. A few codes are restricted to certain restaurants, cuisines, or times of day, which the app will tell you before you explore the code.
Uber Eats also runs periodic promotions where you earn credits for ordering during specific hours or from specific restaurants. These credits appear in your account as "Uber Cash" and work like a promo code at checkout, though they do not expire as quickly as single-use codes.
Differences between Uber Eats codes and Uber Pass membership
Uber Eats offers a paid membership called Uber One (formerly Uber Pass) that provides ongoing benefits separate from one-time promo codes. With Uber One, you pay a monthly or annual fee and receive free delivery on most orders, reduced fees at certain restaurants, and exclusive member-only discounts. The membership also covers Uber rides and Uber Eats, depending on which tier you choose.
A single promo code is a one-time discount that works once and then expires. Uber One is a recurring benefit that applies to every order you place as long as your membership is active. If you order frequently, the membership may save you more money than collecting individual codes. If you order occasionally, individual codes may be the better choice since you pay nothing upfront.
You can use a promo code even if you have an active Uber One membership, though some codes may not stack with membership benefits. The app will show you the final price after all discounts are applied, so you can see the total savings before you confirm your order.
When codes expire and how to track them
Promo codes have expiration dates that vary widely. Some codes expire after 30 days, others after a few months, and some have no expiration date listed but stop working without warning when Uber ends the promotion. The app usually shows the expiration date next to the code in the Promotions tab, though not all codes display this information clearly.
Single-use codes expire after you use them once. Codes that say "Use multiple times" can be applied to more than one order until the expiration date passes. If you see a code you want to use, explore it to your next order rather than waiting — promotions change frequently and codes disappear without notice.
If you receive a code via email or text, that message usually includes the expiration date and any restrictions. Save promotional emails or take a screenshot of text codes so you have the details later. The Promotions tab in the app is the most reliable place to check what you have available right now, since it updates in real time.
Codes for specific situations: new users, loyalty, and referrals
New users to Uber Eats typically see a first-order discount in the app automatically — usually between $5 and $15 off, depending on your location. You do not need to enter a code; the discount applies when you place your first order. Some new-user offers require a minimum order amount, so check the terms in the Promotions tab before you add items.
Uber Eats also runs referral programs where you can share a code with friends. When a friend uses your code to place their first order, they receive a discount and you receive a credit (usually $5 to $15) that appears in your account as Uber Cash. You can refer multiple people, and the credits accumulate. The referral code is unique to your account and appears in the app under "Invite Friends" or a similar section.
Loyalty offers appear in the Promotions tab based on your ordering patterns. If you have not ordered in a while, Uber may send you a "win-back" code to encourage you to return. If you order frequently from the same restaurant, that restaurant may send you a personalized discount code via the app or email. These offers are tailored to individual accounts and change over time.
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 several codes available, the app does not automatically explore the best one — you must choose which code to use at checkout. Compare the savings each code offers and select the one that gives you the largest discount.
What should I do if a promo code is not working?
The app will show an error message explaining why the code did not work. Common reasons are that the code has expired, it is not valid in your location, your order is below the minimum amount, or it is restricted to certain restaurants. Read the error message, check the code's terms in the Promotions tab, and try a different code if you have one available.
Do promo codes work on orders from all restaurants?
Most codes work on any restaurant in the Uber Eats catalog, but some are restricted to specific restaurants, cuisines, or food categories. The app will tell you before you explore the code whether it is valid for the restaurant you selected. If a code does not work, try it on a different restaurant to see if the restriction is location or restaurant-specific.
How long do referral credits stay in my account?
Referral credits (Uber Cash) typically do not expire, but promotional credits from other sources may have expiration dates. Check the Promotions tab or your account balance to see if an expiration date is listed. If you are unsure, use the credits soon rather than waiting, since policies can change.
Can I use a promo code if I have Uber One membership?
Yes, you can use a promo code with an active Uber One membership. However, some codes may not combine with membership benefits, and the app will show you the final price after all discounts are applied. If a code does not work with your membership, try placing the order with just your membership discount to see the difference.
