4 Little-Known Perks of Uber One

Uber introduces Uber One to replace Uber Eats, and it comes with some special bonuses.

COVID-19 changed how we eat. Food delivery has more than doubled in popularity during the pandemic, with Uber emerging as one of the leaders. In late 2021, Uber Technologies announced the launch of Uber One, a brand-new membership program to replace Uber's Eats Pass. Here are the perks and benefits of the subscription.

What is Uber One?

Like DoorDash's DashPass and Grubhub+, Uber One is Uber's premium paid membership that gives you access to benefits such as savings on rides through Uber and orders through Uber Eats. According to their website, members save on average $25 per month with Uber One. Uber One offers:

• Unlimited $0 Delivery Fee on Uber Eats
• 5% off and top-rated drivers on Uber
• Up to 10% off eligible Uber Eats deliveries and pickup orders
• Uber One Perks, including special offers and promotions

How much does Uber One cost?

Uber One costs $9.99 a month, or $99 for an annual membership. Uber One members receive a $0 Delivery Fee plus up to 10% off eligible orders on restaurants and stores marked with the Uber One icon.

If you are a Disney+ subscriber, you can get six months free of Uber One (a $59 value) and $25 off your first Uber Eats order. This is valid for Disney+ subscribers who are new to Uber One. After your six months are over, you may cancel your membership or let it auto renew at $9.99/month. This deal ends Sept. 19.

You can also qualify for a free 12-month Uber One membership if you are an American Express cardholder. Card Members must additionally use their eligible American Express Consumer Card as the payment method at checkout in order for any Uber One discounts to apply to Uber Eats orders.

What are the perks of Uber One?

In addition to its free unlimited delivery for eligible orders on food, grocery, and more, here are four other perks of Uber One:

1. The Uber One Promise

With the Uber One Promise on eligible deliveries, subscribers will receive $5 in Uber Cash if their Latest Arrival estimate -- shown after you place your order -- is wrong. The Uber One Promise applies to any active order where the Latest Arrival estimate is exceeded by any amount.

2. 5% discount

Uber One offers members a price guarantee of 5% to 10% off eligible orders from restaurants and stores marked with the gold Uber One icon underneath their name in the app. Members also receive 5% off eligible Uber rides. The 5% discount does not apply to rides booked 30 minutes or more in advance. Order minimums for free delivery are $15 for participating non-grocery stores and $30 for participating grocery stores.

3. Priority service

Uber One members receive priority service with top-rated drivers on rides. You also receive premium customer support.

4. Exclusive perks

Uber One members will receive exclusive access to perks like special offers and promotions, and invite-only experiences
