I agree.
Also believe that is a one time, multi week promo code, so a new one does not need to be inputed, or claimed every week.
Plus it it worth checking the Eats section as there can be some good deals on 'pick-up' options.
For example:
Some Wendy's branches recently had a BOGOF offer on Burgers, in the last few days - Combo meals.
Wenzel's the Bakers had a BOGOF on Baguette meal deals (Baguette, side, drink), which worked out to be just over £4 each.
Coffee #1 have half price and BOGOF coffees and drinks quite regularly. Recently they had Matcha drinks for £2.40. Iced Frappes were also recently BOGOF.
Pizza Express usually has 40/50% off on selected Pizza, Pasta and sides. Pizza price works out at less than £10.
I'm not a fan of the delivery model Uber et al operate. However, open to good pick-up deals through the app.
(Apologies for going slightly off topic, however just wanted to highlight some of the good offers available to those who do subscribe. Offers which can also be handy whilst travelling.)

The one at Birmingham New Street (Grand Central) has closed, replaced by one not much further away at Bullring, and there's one opening soon on Colmore Row in what used to be the Halifax branch - virtually opposite Snow Hill station.
Seem to be quite a few in London, near to key London Stations.
Also in Bristol and Bath.

Stupid question time: where/how in Google Play do you find this?
In the Play Store app open your profile menu and select gift cards. It's only visible when using an Android phone.

Thanks.
I ordered mine while I was about 2 minutes from the shop on the asap option and the coffee had just been made as I was in the shop. It was early so there was no queue and no other customers.

Now 31st December 2026 according to the T&C's on https://www.uber.com/gb/en/uber-one/
I've also noticed that it now states that all earned Uber one credits will expire instantly when your membership ends. Not sure if this is new or not, but I never noticed it before - definitely something to watch out for.
The expires-on-nonmembership condition is mentioned in the credits for rides paragraph, but not the credits for trains paragraph. I'm not sure if that's relevant though I'm aware that credit redemption differs - "train" credits can also be redeemed against rides and Uber Eats, whereas "ride" credits can also be redeemed against Uber Eats but not rail tickets.
Not seen it before either. If the aformentioned condition applies to rail tickets then subscribers must either forgo their last set of confirmed/pending credits or use them up on Uber Eats. (Or use them on a cheap rail ticket they won't use and forgo the miniscule value of credits due, which nobody outside this forum would do)

Beware of the apparent benefits of Uber discounts. Even with Uber One, you may still be paying over the odds. I recently received an email offering me 30% off Uber Eats. I tried using this code at a local independent takeaway, and it did indeed give me 30% off. I was still 15% more expensive than ordering a delivery directly from the takeaway.

Strange issue today - my receipt and the app shows that my ticket was paid for from my Uber Money balance (as I expected), but my card also got charged the same amount. I assume the transaction will just show as pending and then go away but if it sticks I’ll need to call them. Just mentioning in case anyone else has the same experience.
Yes, I had this issue too, for a ticket purchase on Monday.
I had to do a double take at first, however it did indeed deduct an amount from 'Uber Money' ( gift card balance) AND the same amount from debit card which showed as 'pending' in my bank account.
When I have checked again today, the amount has not been charged and removed from itemised list.

Add code into Joe and Juice App.
(This is what I did)
Order at counter
Scan the QR code that appears on the payment terminal instore wity the App.
Then confirm/approve the transaction in App for free coffee.
Yes, it is a bit overly complicated.

Uber prices for food and drink are more expensive than regular prices, to account for the delivery company fees.
Some good deals can be found, however the trick is to use the filters in the App to narrow down to 'Pick Up', 'Offers' and 'Uber One'.
Like I have previously stated, there have been some good offers at Coffee #1 and Wendy's recently, that beaten regular instore prices.
At the weekend, Coffee #1 once again had half price iced drinks for around £2.50 on the Uber App. The price of the item I had was £4.60 usually (in store price). Although this is not half the instore price, the prices were still an improvement - saving a couple of pounds.
