Uber Rewards launched in 2018 to recognize your continued loyalty through practical perks, rewards points, and unique benefits. We built it because customers wanted their holistic Uber experience to get better every time they booked an on-demand ride, or ordered a hot meal with Uber Eats. 

Two years later, so much has changed. It’s no secret that ordering delivery on Uber Eats has become both wildly popular and increasingly necessary for everyday life, while riders are masking up on their second first trip(s) in cities around the world.

Despite it all, tens of millions of Rewards members are still redeeming billions of earned points each month. Even if the reasons for using Uber have changed dramatically, you’ve shown us how much you value (and love!) being rewarded for using existing, and recently-added ways to use our platform like Hourly, Uber Connect, Uber Green, and grocery delivery.   

 So in response, we’re rolling out the most ambitious upgrade to the Rewards program yet, one that’ll provide more freedom to redeem reward points when and how you want, all-new point redemption options, and an extended Reward redemption period.

These changes are our way of saying thanks for trusting Uber to help feed your family, stay connected to a loved one, or simply run errands in these challenging times. As you stay nimble in the face of everyday challenges, we’re committed to moving in stride with updates like these.  

A Whole New Way to Redeem Points 

As a reminder, reward points are earned on every eligible dollar spent with rides on Uber or placing food orders through your Uber apps. 

Here’s how the program is evolving: 

  • More Freedom to Redeem: Previously, you could only redeem a Reward once you accrued 500 reward points–no more, no less. Now, you’ll be able to redeem a Reward whenever you want, as long as you’ve earned enough reward points to cover the Reward amount (see examples below). There’s also no limit on how many Rewards you can redeem! 
  • All-New Redemption Options: Previously, you could only select from a handful of Rewards redemption options. Today, the program will expand to 30+ options including new ones that range from 100 to 8,000 points. Bigger and better rewards will require more reward points to redeem, while several easier-to-redeem (i.e. below 500 point) options are also available. More options mean more choices to identify the Reward that best fits your needs.
  • Extended Redemption Period: Previously, you’d need to redeem a Reward within 28 days or they’d expire. Now, you’ll have six months to use your points from the time you earn them. Plus, any leftover points from your last redemption can still be spent or accrued however you like!

Bringing Loyalty Options to Life 

As the first to bring a ridesharing loyalty program to life, we’re taking freedom of choice to the next level.
