Yes, the American Express Platinum card Uber Cash does work with UberEats. In addition to normal ridesharing, the American Express Platinum card Uber Cash Benefit consists of Uber Cash that cover food costs, delivery fees, and service charges anywhere in the U.S. when using the UberEats app.
How the American Express Platinum card Works with Uber Eats
- What you get: The American Express Platinum card comes with $200 in Uber Cash annually. That’s up to $15 in Uber Cash every month, with a $20 bonus in December (up to $35 in total). Cardholders are automatically enrolled when adding an American Express Platinum card to their Uber account. An American Express card must also be selected as the payment method for your Uber or Uber Eats transaction to redeem the Amex Uber Cash benefit.
- How to get it: The Uber Eats app is separate from the Uber ride-sharing app, so you will need to download it to your mobile device before you can apply the American Express Platinum card Uber Cash. All payment information saved in the Uber app transfers to the Uber Eats app, which allows you to use your Uber Cash as long as your American Express Platinum card is linked to the Uber app.
- How to use it: To use the Uber Cash in the Uber Eats app, select the "Uber Cash" function from the drop-down menu of payment methods. If you don’t have enough Uber Cash to cover the cost of the food, Uber will charge the remaining balance to the American Express Platinum card linked to your account.
Note that Uber Cash post to your Uber account on the first day of each month. Any unused Uber Cash expires at midnight on the last day of the month and does not roll over to the following month.
