Negative Changes to Uber Gift Cards and Uber Cash
Uber is changing how Uber Gift Cards and Uber Cash works. These changes are not live yet, but will go into effect starting June 20, 2024, and in Australia only. It’s not clear if it will be rolled out in the U.S..
- New Gift Card Terms:
- Clarify that Gift Cards are now a stand alone payment method and can no longer be used to top up Uber Cash.
- Explain your options once you purchase a gift card. For example you may choose to activate your Gift Card in your Uber Wallet or to transfer or gift the Gift Card to another person.
- Confirm that Gift Cards are not reloadable and that once activated, a Gift Card is no longer transferable i.e. it can no longer be gifted.
- Confirm that there is a time limit for activation. If an Uber Gift Card is not activated before its expiry date, the value standing to the credit of the Uber Gift Card is forfeited.
- Inform you that once you or your giftee has activated a gift card into their Wallet the balance does not expire.
- New Uber Cash Terms:
- We have updated the Uber Cash terms here to reflect that Gift Cards may no longer be used to top up Uber Cash balance.
