You can buy Uber gift cards at Walmart in person or online, and use them to pay for rides or Uber Eats orders
Walmart sells Uber gift cards in denominations ranging from $15 to $100 at most store locations. You can purchase them at the register in the same section where Walmart sells other gift cards — typically near the front of the store or in the customer service area. If you prefer not to visit a store, Walmart's website also sells Uber gift cards that you can have delivered or pick up at your local store.
Once you have the gift card, you add the balance to your Uber account by opening the Uber app, going to the Wallet or Payment section, and entering the card's code. The funds then appear as a credit in your account and are used automatically when you request a ride or place an Uber Eats order.

Where to find Uber gift cards at Walmart
Most Walmart stores stock Uber gift cards near the front registers or in the customer service area, alongside other brand gift cards like Amazon, Google Play, and iTunes. The exact location varies by store, so ask a Walmart employee if you cannot spot them when ready. Not every Walmart carries every denomination, so if you need a specific amount, you may need to check with the store first or purchase online.
Walmart's website lets you order Uber gift cards for delivery to your home or for pickup at a store near you. Delivery typically takes several days, while in-store pickup is usually ready within a few hours. Online purchases may have different denomination options than what appears in your local store.
How to redeem an Uber gift card
Open the Uber app on your phone and tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner. Select "Wallet" or "Payment" depending on your app version. Look for an option that says "Add funds," "Redeem code," or "Add a gift card." Tap that option and enter the 16-digit code printed on the back of your gift card.
The balance will appear in your Uber account when ready. You do not need to do anything else — the credit will be used automatically the next time you request a ride or place an Uber Eats order. If you have both a gift card balance and a payment method on file, Uber will use the gift card balance first.
What you can use an Uber gift card for
Uber gift cards work for both Uber rides and Uber Eats food delivery. The balance is shared between both services, so if you have $50 on your card, you can spend it all on rides, all on food orders, or split it between the two however you choose. The credit applies to the base fare or food cost and can also cover surge pricing or delivery fees.
Gift card balances do not cover tips added after a ride or order is complete. If you want to tip your driver or delivery person, you will need to add a separate payment method to your account. Tips can be added through the app after your ride ends or your order arrives.
Denominations and pricing at Walmart
Walmart typically sells Uber gift cards in four amounts: $15, $25, $50, and $100. The price you pay matches the card's value — a $25 card costs $25. Walmart does not mark up Uber gift cards, so you are not paying extra fees to buy them there. Availability of each denomination can vary by store and online, so check before you make a trip.
Some Walmart locations may occasionally run promotions on gift cards, such as bonus Uber credits or discounted rates during certain periods. These are rare and not may provide, so do not count on finding a deal. Your best bet is to check Walmart's website or call your local store if you are looking for a specific denomination or hoping to catch a promotion.
Checking your Uber gift card balance
Once you have added the gift card to your Uber account, the balance appears in your Wallet section. Open the Uber app, tap the menu, and select Wallet or Payment to see how much credit you have remaining. The balance updates in real time as you use it for rides and orders.
If you have not yet redeemed the card and want to check the balance before adding it to your account, visit the Uber website and look for a "Check balance" or "Redeem a gift card" link. You will need to enter the card's code to see the balance. This is useful if you received a gift card and want to verify it has not been used.
What to do if your gift card does not work
If you enter the code and receive an error message, first check that you typed all 16 digits correctly. Gift card codes are case-sensitive in some systems, so make sure you are entering uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as they appear. If the code still does not work after you have checked it twice, the card may be damaged or defective.
Contact Walmart customer service with your receipt and the card itself. Walmart can issue a replacement if the card was defective when you purchased it. If you bought the card online, you can also reach out to Walmart's online support team. Keep your receipt — Walmart typically requires proof of purchase to replace a card.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Uber gift cards expire?
Uber gift card balances do not expire as long as your Uber account remains active. However, if you do not use your account for an extended period, Uber may close it, which could result in losing the balance. To keep your account active, log in occasionally or use the app at least once every few years.
Can I use an Uber gift card for Uber Eats only?
No, the balance is shared between Uber rides and Uber Eats. You cannot restrict the card to one service or the other. The credit will be used for whichever service you use first after redeeming the card.
What if I lose my Uber gift card before redeeming it?
If you lose the physical card before entering the code into your Uber account, contact Walmart with your receipt. Walmart may be able to look up the card's code and help you recover it. Once the code is entered into your Uber account, the balance is tied to your account, not the physical card, so losing the card after that point does not matter.
Can I buy an Uber gift card with a Walmart gift card?
Yes, you can use a Walmart gift card to purchase an Uber gift card at checkout, just as you would with cash or a credit card. The Walmart gift card balance will be deducted at the register when you pay for the Uber card.
Are there any fees when I buy an Uber gift card at Walmart?
No, Walmart does not charge a fee to purchase Uber gift cards. The amount you pay equals the card's value. Some third-party retailers do add fees, but Walmart's prices are straightforward.
