American Express recently (Mar 2017) partnered with Uber to offer a $200 credit to all Uber purchases annually on their AMEX “Platinum” cards. They give a $15 credit monthly (+ $35 in December).
This $15 credit can be used for Uber and for UberEATS. When you add your card to the Uber or UberEATS iPhone app it will show up as a credit. I have three AMEX Platinum cards so after adding them, it showed up as a $45 credit.
I rarely use Uber so I recently used UberEATS for the first time. My wife and I ordered a couple of Subs from Firehouse Subs and had them delivered to our house. There is a $4.99 processing fee that includes the cost of delivery. No tip is required.
Which American Express Cards Qualify for this Deal?
- All regular platinum cards (including the Mercedes Benz, Schwab, Ameritrade variants)
- The business platinum does not count toward the deal.
What is the most effective way to maximize the discount?
- If you have multiple cards, make just one order, that way you only have to pay one processing fee.
- If you only have one card, look for a meal for around $10. With the $5 processing fee, your meal will then come out to be FREE.
- Use a sign up bonus to get $5 off your first 2 orders. www.ubereats.com or download app
