Gift Card Guides
Quick answer: You can buy an Uber gift card at Uber.com, on Amazon, and at Target and Walmart — and as a PerfectGift for Uber that sends by text or email in seconds and lets the recipient keep it for Uber, switch brands, or move the balance to a Visa. One thing to know up front: an Uber gift card is one balance that works for both Uber rides and Uber Eats (and Uber One), so one card covers both.
One card, rides and food
An Uber gift card loads into the rider's Uber Cash balance, and that same balance pays for Uber rides, Uber Eats orders, and Uber One. You don't buy a separate "Uber Eats card" — the standard Uber card already covers food delivery. For a college student, a friend who just moved, or anyone who uses both rides and takeout, it covers most of what they'd want. It never expires once it's in the account.
Buying it as a gift vs. for yourself
You want something practical that arrives on time and doesn't lock the recipient into one thing. Digital delivery to a phone or inbox handles the last-minute case, and a card that covers both rides and food is easy to use.

The 6 best places to buy an Uber gift card
- Rides + Uber Eats in one card
- Recipient can swap or move to a Visa
- Up to $500, instant
- Digital version needs their email or phone
- The swap is their choice, not yours
Best gift option here. They can switch it if they don't ride Uber, which takes the risk out — the one time to use Uber.com instead is when you're loading your own balance.
- Official source, zero fraud risk
- Covers rides, Uber Eats, and Uber One
- Instant, no fees
- eGift only, no physical card
- Bare-bones gift presentation
If the money's for your own account, buy it here. It's direct, and Uber One members get full coverage.
- Wide range to $500
- Fast digital delivery
- Prime shipping on physical cards
- Basic gift message only
- No swap or cash-out
Convenient mid-cart, but the card is locked to Uber. A gift is better served by PerfectGift.

- eGift only through Target
- No brand-swap option
Solid, and the $250 ceiling gives you more room than Walmart.

- In-store racks for a card you can hand over
- Online option too
- Online amounts top out lower
- Rack stock varies
Grab one here when you need plastic in hand today; for a larger digital load, look elsewhere.
- Legitimate discount
- 90-day guarantee
- Covers rides and Uber Eats
- Discount and stock move around
- Not built for gifting
Only for your own reloads, never gifting — but frequent riders will feel the discount.
Send an Uber gift card with a personal message. Covers rides and Uber Eats. Instant delivery, no fees.
Shop Uber Gift Cards →Do Walmart, Target, and Amazon sell Uber gift cards?
Yes — all three carry them (Uber isn't a retail competitor, so unlike some brands, the big stores stock its card). Amazon and Target sell the eGift online, Walmart sells it online and stocks physical cards in many stores, and Uber.com sells direct. Buy from any of those, or from PerfectGift for a gift — just skip the resale marketplaces below.

Places to avoid: a warning about risky sources
- Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist — codes are often already spent, with no recourse.
- Sites promising free Uber credits or codes — there's no legitimate way to generate Uber credit for free; they take your data or hand you dead codes.
- Anyone asking you to pay a bill or fine in Uber gift cards — always a scam; no real service collects payment that way.
- "Free Uber Eats" promo-code sites — real Uber Eats promos only come through the official app.
How to redeem an Uber gift card
- In the Uber app: tap Account → Wallet → Add Gift Card, and enter the code.
- In the Uber Eats app: tap Account → Gift Cards, and enter the code. (Same balance either way.)
- The balance applies automatically to your next ride or Uber Eats order, and works toward Uber One.
- From a PerfectGift: open the email or text (or log in at perfectgift.com/login → Received Gifts) to reveal the Uber code, then add it in the app. You can also swap it to another brand, move it to a Visa, or regift it.

Bottom line
For a gift, a PerfectGift for Uber covers rides and Uber Eats, arrives in seconds, and lets the recipient switch it if they're not an Uber user. For your own balance, buy direct at Uber.com. For a physical card today, a Walmart rack works. For a small discount before a reload, check GCX. Skip anyone offering free Uber credit — that's always a scam.
