You can receive up to $200 in Uber Cash annually by adding your Consumer Platinum Card® or Centurion® Card from American Express as a payment method on your Uber account.

The Amex benefit in Uber Cash is distributed in monthly increments of $15, plus a $20 bonus in December (for $35 total in December). This amount can be used for Uber services in the US. The Amex benefit will expire at the end of each month and won’t roll over to the following month.

The Amex benefit will automatically apply to the price of your ride or order, as long as you’re not using a business profile. When your Amex benefit isn’t enough to cover the ride or order cost, the primary payment method on your account will be charged the difference.

Before requesting a trip or order, you can manage when you want to use your Amex benefit in Uber Cash. To do this:

1. Enter your destination in the Uber app or add items to your cart in the Uber Eats app
2. Select your current payment method
3. If you have a profile set up, select Change
4. Switch the Uber Cash toggle on or off
5. Return to the previous screen and request your ride or place your order

Checking your Uber Cash balance

1. Select Account in the bottom right corner of your app
2. Select Wallet/Payment
3. From there, you can also view your Amex benefit history by selecting your Uber Cash balance

You’ll receive the Amex benefit each month as long as your card remains eligible and is a payment method on your Uber account. If your eligible card is added to multiple Uber accounts, the account that you added the card to first will receive the benefit.

If you already have an eligible card on your Uber account, the benefit will automatically apply to your Uber Cash balance.

Please note: Effective November 8, 2024, in addition to having Uber Cash toggled on, an American Express Card must be selected as the payment method for your transaction in the Uber or Uber Eats app to redeem Uber Cash received through this benefit.

Adding an eligible card to your Uber account

1. Go to the Wallet/Payment section of the Uber app
2. Select Add Payment Method

Basic Card Members on a Consumer Platinum Card or Centurion account are eligible. Additional Centurion Cards are also eligible. You’ll receive $15 in Uber Cash each month (plus the $20 bonus in December) for each eligible card on your Uber account.

Switching which Uber account receives the Uber Cash Amex benefit

1. Remove the eligible card as a payment method from the Uber accounts that you no longer wish to receive the benefit and any other Uber accounts.
2. Add the eligible card as a payment method on the Uber account you wish to receive the benefit. If the eligible card is already on this account, skip this step.

Complete these steps by 11:59 p.m. ET before the 1st day of the month that you want the Amex benefit to apply to the new account. The benefit will switch accounts and apply to that new account starting on the 1st day of the new month.

You can always re-add your eligible card to the other Uber accounts after completing these steps if you wish to use the card as a payment method.

Members with an eligible card will have access to UberVIP in select US markets. UberVIP is currently available in Atlanta, Dallas, Harrisburg, Houston, Nashville, New Jersey, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh.
