[Update 2020.7] Cashback for Uber Eats on both Drop and Rakuten was removed today. Orders paid with the Uber credit that comes with the AMEX Platinum could trigger cashback, so it’s a real shame to see this go. Hopefully it will come back in the future. Uber Eats is also reportedly preparing a bid to acquire delivery platform Postmates, so it may be looking to cut costs and improve efficiency.

[Update 2020.5] Drop is now offering 7% cashback for 4 days. If you still haven’t used your May credit, this could be worth considering.

[Update 3: 2020/04/05] Whether you use Rakuten (Ebates) or Drop, the cashback is calculated based on the food subtotal charged at checkout. Using any credit does not affect the cashback calculation (neither the AMEX Platinum Credit nor existing Uber Cash affects cashback, which matches what Doc’s readers reported).

  • Using Drop as an example: the food subtotal itself was $20.7, at 50 points/$, for a total of 1035 points back.
  • Of course, I’d still recommend using the Rakuten app, since you can earn up to 5x MR.

[Update 2] Rakuten (Ebates) now also offers Uber Eats cashback at 4x or 5x (I only saw 4x). You need to start in the Rakuten app and then be redirected to the Uber Eats app to place the order. Unfortunately, this cannot be stacked with Drop, so I’d recommend using MR-earning Rakuten instead. H/T: Doc

According to Doc’s readers, using the AMEX Platinum Credit also counts toward cashback, which makes this pretty nice.

[Update] This promo has now increased to 50 points/$ back. Also, don’t forget that Uber Eats is currently waiving the delivery fee for local restaurants; see here.

While browsing around, KUKU noticed that Drop recently added an Uber Eats offer of 40 points/$ spent, equivalent to 4% cashback. Note that this is an extra offer, not one of the merchants you previously linked.
