Uber Eats promo codes reduce your order total by a fixed dollar amount or percentage, but where you find them and how long they last depends on how Uber is promoting to you that month

Uber Eats promo codes are discount codes that you enter at checkout to lower your bill. They typically take a dollar amount off your subtotal — for example, $10 off orders over $25 — or give you a percentage discount. The codes themselves are strings of letters and numbers that Uber sends through email, text, the Uber Eats app, or displays on partner restaurant pages. Each code has an expiration date and usually applies only to new users, returning users after a gap, or specific restaurants or cities.

Promo codes are not the same as the permanent discounts Uber Eats offers through its Uber One membership, which costs money but gives ongoing savings. Codes are temporary offers that change week to week. Whether a code works for you depends on whether you meet the restrictions Uber attached to it — for instance, some codes work only in certain zip codes, only on orders above a minimum amount, or only at restaurants Uber is trying to promote that week.

Key Takeaways

  • Promo codes appear in your Uber Eats app notifications, email from Uber, text messages, and sometimes on the restaurant page itself before you add items to your cart.
  • Most codes have a minimum order amount, an expiration date, and restrictions on which restaurants or cities they work in.
  • New user codes and codes for returning users are the most common types, and they usually cannot be combined with other discounts.
  • If a code does not work at checkout, it may have expired, you may not meet the minimum order amount, or the restaurant may be excluded from that particular offer.

Where Uber Eats sends promo codes

The most reliable place to find current promo codes is the Uber Eats app itself. Open the app, tap the account icon in the bottom right, and look for a "Promotions" or "Offers" section. Codes listed there are active and tied to your account, so they should work when you check out. The app also sends push notifications when a new code is available, and these notifications usually include the code, the discount amount, and the expiration date.

Uber also sends promo codes by email to the address linked to your account. Check your inbox and spam folder for messages with subject lines like "Your exclusive offer" or "Limited-time discount." Email codes often target users who have not ordered in a while or users in a specific city where Uber is running a promotion.

Text messages are another channel. If you have opted into SMS notifications in your Uber Eats settings, you may receive codes by text. These are usually time-sensitive and include a link to the app or a code to copy and paste.

Restaurant pages within the app sometimes display codes at the top. When you open a restaurant's menu, you may see a banner saying "Get $X off with code XXXXX" — these codes are usually specific to that restaurant or a small group of restaurants Uber is promoting that week.

How to enter a promo code at checkout

Once you have selected your items and are ready to pay, tap "Promo Code" or "Add Promo Code" on the checkout screen. A text field will appear. Type or paste the code exactly as it appears — codes are case-sensitive in some cases, though Uber Eats usually accepts both uppercase and lowercase. Tap "explore" or the checkmark button.

If the code works, the discount will appear as a line item on your bill, and your total will drop. If the code does not work, Uber will show an error message. Common reasons include: the code has expired, your order does not meet the minimum amount, the restaurant is not included in that promotion, or you do not meet the user type the code was sent for (for example, the code was for new users only and you have ordered before).

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. Promo codes cannot usually be combined with Uber One membership discounts, though Uber occasionally runs promotions that stack — check the code's terms to be sure.

Types of promo codes and who they target

New user codes are the most common. These codes work only if you have never ordered from Uber Eats before or if your account is brand new. Uber uses these to attract first-time customers. The discount is often larger than other codes — sometimes $15 to $20 off — because Uber is trying to get you to try the service.

Returning user codes target people who have not ordered in a set period, usually 30 to 90 days. These codes are Uber's way of bringing back inactive users. They are sent by email or push notification and usually have a shorter expiration window than new user codes.

Seasonal and promotional codes are tied to events or holidays. Uber may run codes for a specific restaurant, a restaurant category (like pizza or sushi), or a city-wide promotion. These codes are usually advertised in the app and through email and last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

Referral codes are different from promo codes but work similarly. When you refer a friend to Uber Eats, you both receive a code that gives you each a discount on your next order. These codes are found in the "Invite Friends" section of the app.

Why a promo code might not work

The code has expired. Every promo code has an end date. If you are trying to use a code you received weeks ago, it may no longer be valid. Check the expiration date in your email or the app before you try to use it.

Your order does not meet the minimum. Most codes require you to spend a certain amount before the discount applies. If a code says "$10 off orders over $25," your subtotal must be at least $25. Delivery fees and taxes usually do not count toward the minimum.

The restaurant is excluded. Some codes work only at certain restaurants or restaurant types. If you are ordering from a restaurant that is not part of the promotion, the code will not work. Try the code at a different restaurant to see if it applies there.

You do not meet the user type requirement. New user codes work only for new accounts. Returning user codes work only if you have not ordered in the specified time. If you do not fit the category, the code will reject at checkout.

The code is already used up. Uber sometimes limits how many times a code can be used across all users. If a code was very popular and many people used it, Uber may deactivate it early.

How often promo codes change

Uber Eats updates its promo codes frequently — some codes last only a few days, while others run for weeks. New user codes are usually available year-round but may change the discount amount. Seasonal codes appear around holidays, major events, or when Uber is promoting a new restaurant or feature. Returning user codes are sent on a rolling basis to inactive accounts.

The best way to stay informed is to enable push notifications in the Uber Eats app and check the Promotions section regularly. You can also check your email for offers from Uber. Codes sent directly to your account through the app or email are more likely to work than codes you find on third-party websites, because those codes may be expired or restricted to certain regions.

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. You cannot stack codes or combine a promo code with an Uber One membership discount in most cases, though Uber occasionally runs special promotions that allow stacking — the code's terms will say if this applies.

What if I enter a code and it says invalid?

First, check that you typed it correctly — codes are case-sensitive in some cases. Then verify that your order meets the minimum amount, the restaurant is included in the promotion, and the code has not expired. If all of those check out, the code may have reached its usage limit or you may not meet the user type it targets. Try a different code from your Promotions section.

Do promo codes work on delivery and pickup orders?

Most codes work on both delivery and pickup, but some are restricted to one or the other. The code's description in the app or email will say which order types it applies to. If you are unsure, try entering the code at checkout — Uber will tell you if it does not work for that order type.

Can I use a promo code if I have Uber One?

Promo codes and Uber One membership discounts usually cannot be combined on the same order. However, Uber sometimes runs promotions that allow both. Check the code's terms or contact Uber support if you are unsure whether a specific code can be used with your membership.

Where do I find promo codes if I do not receive emails from Uber?

Check the Promotions or Offers section in the Uber Eats app — this is the most reliable place to find active codes tied to your account. You can also enable push notifications in your app settings so you receive alerts when new codes are available. If you want to receive email codes, make sure your notification settings allow promotional emails from Uber.
