Delivery only is worse than pickup but not bad overall (still about 40% to 50% off) the total order.
Received a code last week and received it again this week. First time ever to have the code work two weeks in a row.

I had some 75% codes that I let expire because no pickup.
With the extra service charge, delivery fee, tips, markup, even after 75% off it's more or about the same as directly ordering and picking up, especially since the discount is capped at $15, forcing you to do small orders where the fees and tip are a large proportion of the cost. Unless you stack with BOGO deals.
This only makes sense for people who would've needed to order delivery anyways. Not for people jumping on this as a "deal".

One month and counting waiting for a 50$ refund for a wrong delivery. Terrible performance.

$15 max discount...
-$5 service fee
-$1 to $5 delivery charge
-$5 driver tip
-10 to 25% menu price markup on Ubereats app
You'll save more money by going there or order directly by calling.

Yep. Which is why I'm planning on updating with the latest code. There have been times where I've wanted to order delivery and any discount would have been good.[email protected] wrote: ↑I had some 75% codes that I let expire because no pickup.

Under "Account" >> "Promotions", then choose "Enter code".
It should apply automatically to any order.
IOW, you'll save more money by [not getting delivery].
The markups mean that my local restaurant is still making their usual margin. The discount means that the cost of having it delivered is about the same as ordering directly and picking it up. And the cost is all borne by the venture capitalists propping up an unsustainable business model. I consider that a win

got an email and noticed the max discount is now $25.
I guess they realized no one is using them since all the fees will more than offset the discount lol

That would make sense, but there seems to be neither rhyme nor reason.dattroll123 wrote: ↑ got an email and noticed the max discount is now $25.

It's been $25 max lots of times previously, and it's been $15 lots of times.
Sometimes it works on the account that hasn't been used for a while, sometimes it's on the account that placed last week's order.

Thank you for posting these! Upvoted. If it wasn’t for these threads I wouldn’t have known these worked (last ones did). So kudos to those who post these. Ignore the haters.

After delivery charge, service fee, & tip, max $15 discount worked out to be $3 discount vs me picking it up (i priced it out but did not end up placing the order). I usually only order Uber if the deal is really good, & much prefer pickup as I find all the fees really add up quickly. I mean its a great deal for people who only order delivery but I usually prefer to pickup myself, sometimes I even walk instead of drive depending on how far it is (good to burn some calories before I eat lol)

Sure, it isn't that great a deal. But it's still a win. Look at it this way:HP_John wrote: ↑ After delivery charge, service fee, & tip, max $15 discount worked out to be $3 discount vs me picking it up (i priced it out but did not end up placing the order).

A local restaurant I like is getting business. Because they increase their price to deal with the Uber fees that they pay (at least the ones I order from do), they're not out any money and are just getting my business.
A delivery person gets to work. I'm assuming if it isn't worth their time, they'll stop doing it. So delivery fee and tip to them.
Total charges to me are less than what I would have paid otherwise, even if I had gone to pick it up myself. Would it be better if the deal was actually closer to the 75%? Of course. But if it isn't any worse than it would have cost to order directly and pick up myself, one other (delivery) person in this crappy economy is making a living, and the money isn't coming out of the restaurant's pocket. It isn't coming out of my pocket either, and any savings is gravy.
Yes, Uber is a company with a bad business model. Uber is losing money and these discounts are a way to spread some of that venture capitalist money around so that it isn't just in the pockets of higher-ups at Uber before they fail.
