Uber Eats is an American online food ordering and delivery platform launched in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco, California. It is owned by Uber Technologies, Inc., which spun the service out of its rides business, and it connects customers with local restaurants, grocery stores, and retailers through independent couriers on the Uber network. Uber Eats operates in more than 6,000 cities across dozens of countries and is one of the largest food delivery services in the United States. It shares an account and app ecosystem with Uber rides, and the Uber One membership bundles savings across both. In US markets it competes with DoorDash and Grubhub, and it has added retail tie-ins such as Best Buy electronics delivery. ## What is Uber Eats known for? Uber Eats is known for on-demand delivery from restaurants, grocery stores, and retailers across US cities, ordered through the Uber Eats app or the main Uber app. The catalog covers restaurant meals, groceries, convenience and drugstore items, alcohol where permitted, and select electronics, with Uber One reducing fees on eligible orders. - Restaurant delivery from national chains and local independents - Grocery delivery from partner supermarkets and specialty stores - Convenience and drugstore items for quick top-up orders - Alcohol delivery where state and local law allows - Electronics delivery through the Best Buy partnership - Uber One membership reducing delivery and service fees on eligible orders ## Current cashback rate Flat-dollar cashback, higher for new Uber Eats customers; see the live amounts on ShopBack. Live rate: see the current Uber Eats rate on ShopBack. A checked rate appears here once the hourly rate check has fresh data; the binding rate is always the one on the Uber Eats page at www.shopback.com. Uber Eats cashback on ShopBack is a fixed dollar amount per qualifying order: new Uber Eats customers earn a larger reward and existing customers a small one. The order must be placed within 2 hours of clicking through from ShopBack to the Uber Eats site or app, and cashback is calculated on the subtotal after discounts. Uber One membership orders are excluded. The live amounts are on the ShopBack Uber Eats page. ## How do you save money at Uber Eats? Start every Uber Eats order from the Uber Eats page on ShopBack, because the qualifying actions listed there, such as a new-customer order, pay flat-dollar cashback rather than a percentage of each order. Activation costs nothing and takes one click, and the order must be placed within a short window of clicking through. Stack Uber Eats's own price mechanics next: in-app promotions, restaurant-funded percent-off deals, and Uber One fee reductions on eligible orders all apply to the order total. Uber Eats follows a featured-only coupon policy on ShopBack, so codes featured on ShopBack stack, but any other promo code applied at checkout can void the cashback for that order. Time larger orders to Uber Eats's promotional windows. Super Bowl weekend, summer restaurant pushes, and holiday grocery demand around Thanksgiving bring recurring in-app discounts and fee waivers. The calendar below lists the annual pattern rather than fixed dates. ## Uber Eats deals, discounts and sales: what stacks with cashback? The strongest Uber Eats deals are usually not codes at all: a Uber Eats sale or sitewide discount stacks with cashback automatically, because cashback is calculated on the discounted price you actually pay, and an upsized cashback rate works like an extra sitewide discount on top. To see today's Uber Eats deals in one place, open the Uber Eats page on ShopBack: the current cashback rate, any featured discount codes, and upsized offers are listed together there. This page does not maintain its own Uber Eats sales list, because offers change too fast for a static page to stay honest. ## How to earn cashback at Uber Eats 1. Start at ShopBack: Open the merchant page on ShopBack (site, app, or browser extension) and click through to the merchant. 2. Shop in the same session: Complete the purchase on the merchant site without visiting other coupon or deal sites in between, so the order tracks to your ShopBack account. 3. Wait for tracking: Cashback appears as pending in your ShopBack account, usually within 2 days of the order. 4. Withdraw your cashback: Once the merchant confirms the order (after the return window closes), the cashback becomes withdrawable to a bank account or PayPal. ## When are the best times to buy at Uber Eats? - Super Bowl weekend (Early February): Restaurant and grocery promos surge as customers order game-day food across US metros. - Summer restaurant push (Throughout summer): Recurring Uber One perks and restaurant-funded percent-off deals from national chains. - Thanksgiving grocery demand (November): Grocery and convenience partners run fee waivers and discounts for holiday cooking and last-minute supplies. - Black Friday and Cyber Monday (Late November): Uber One sign-up offers and retail-partner promotions align with the US holiday shopping window. - New Year ordering (Late December into January): Convenience and grocery deals cluster around New Year gatherings and the return to routine. ## How does Uber Eats compare with alternatives? Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub all deliver restaurant meals in US cities and each has a distinct strength. The table compares what each does best, so you can pick the right platform for a given order. - App ecosystem: Uber Eats: Shares one account and app with Uber rides, with Uber One spanning both | DoorDash: Dedicated delivery app focused on food, grocery, and retail | Grubhub: Standalone restaurant marketplace with loyalty perks - US coverage: Uber Eats: Broad US coverage in major cities alongside global Uber reach | DoorDash: Largest US food delivery footprint, strong in suburban markets | Grubhub: Established presence in dense urban centers and college towns - Category breadth: Uber Eats: Restaurants, grocery, convenience, alcohol, and Best Buy electronics | DoorDash: Restaurants plus grocery, convenience, alcohol, and retail partners | Grubhub: Deep restaurant marketplace with a long-standing US network - Subscription: Uber Eats: Uber One bundles Eats and rides savings in one membership | DoorDash: DashPass reduces delivery and service fees on eligible orders | Grubhub: Grubhub+ offers unlimited free delivery on eligible orders - Order quality support: Uber Eats: In-app help issues refunds or credits for missing or incorrect items | DoorDash: Quality Guarantee credits or refunds for spoiled, missing, or wrong grocery items | Grubhub: Customer care handles missing-item and accuracy claims ## Is Uber Eats legit and safe to shop at? Uber Eats is an established US delivery platform: launched in 2014 and owned by Uber Technologies, Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange as UBER. Uber Eats operates in more than 6,000 cities and is one of the largest food delivery services in the United States, processing millions of orders across restaurants and grocery. Uber Eats orders are protected by in-app order tracking, live courier location, and a support flow for missing or incorrect items. When an item is missing or wrong, customers can request a refund or Uber credit through the app help menu, subject to the reporting window and review, using the same account safeguards as Uber rides. Cashback on Uber Eats orders through ShopBack adds no risk to the order itself. The order is placed on Uber Eats at Uber Eats prices; ShopBack is paid a referral commission by the merchant and shares it with the member, the same mechanic used across all ShopBack partner merchants. ## What are Uber Eats shipping, returns, and payment options? Shipping: Uber Eats delivers on demand from restaurants, grocers, and retailers through couriers on the Uber network. Each order carries a delivery fee plus a service fee that vary by store, distance, and demand, with an occasional small-order fee below a basket minimum. Uber One reduces delivery and service fees on eligible orders. Returns: Uber Eats does not run traditional returns; instead it issues a refund or Uber credit when an order arrives with missing or incorrect items. Report the issue through the app help menu within the stated window. Requests are reviewed against the order details, and resolution may come as account credit or a refund to the payment method. Payments: Uber Eats accepts major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, and Uber gift cards or Uber Cash, plus SNAP/EBT for eligible grocery items at participating stores. Note that orders paid with a redeemed gift card do not earn ShopBack cashback. ## Terms and exclusions highlights - Cashback is a flat-dollar amount per qualifying order, higher for new Uber Eats customers. - Orders must be placed within 2 hours of clicking through from ShopBack. - Uber One membership orders are excluded. - On mobile, turn off "Limit Ad Tracking" (iOS) or "Opt out of Ads Personalisation" (Android) so the order can track. - Cashback is calculated on the subtotal after discounts; taxes, service charges, and delivery fees are excluded. - Gift card purchases do not earn cashback. ## Uber Eats cashback FAQ Q: Does Uber Eats give cashback through ShopBack?
