If you’ve been considering giving online food delivery a try, Uber Eats is one of the more convenient apps available.
And the best part? You may be able to sign up for a free trial of their premium subscription, Uber One, which provides a variety of perks such as $0 delivery fees, discounts, and quicker deliveries.
But who, precisely, is eligible for this Uber Eats free trial, and how do you get active on it? Here’s what we know in plain English.
Who is Allowed for Uber Eats Free Trial?
The Uber Eats free trial is typically for anyone who is new to Uber Eats and has never signed up for Uber One. That means you’re probably eligible if you’ve never tried the trial or have been an Uber One paid member before.
Here’s who typically qualifies:
• For new Uber One users: If you’ve never signed up for Uber One (the new name for Eats Pass) before, you’re probably eligible.
• Returning Users (Occasionally): From time to time, Uber will offer promotions that let users who were previously subscribed to try Uber One again free for a short period of time.
• Eligible Countries/Regions: Depending on your country or region, there may be restrictions. Uber typically makes the trial available in the U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, and a few other top markets.
• Valid Payment Method: You have to add a valid payment method to begin with a trial somehow, even if you will not be billed during your free trial.
Pro Tip: If you’ve used Uber for rides and never tried Uber Eats or Uber One, you may still be eligible for a trial!
What is in the Uber Eats Free Trial?
Once you’ve set up the free trial of Uber One, here’s what you’ll get:
• $0 Delivery Fee on orders over an eligible amount (typically $10 to $15 minimum)
• Get up to 10% off of orders at participating restaurants and stores
• Priority support from customer service
• Exclusive promotions only for members
It’s a great way to try out the service before you commit to a paid plan, which usually runs $9.99/month or $99.99/year.
How To Activate Your Uber Eats Free Trial
It’s easy to activate your Uber Eats free trial. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Open Uber or Uber Eats App
Log yourself in first.
Step 2: Tap on the Account Icon
Typically in the bottom right of the app.
Step 3: Select “Uber One”
You will notice the membership option and details regarding the free trial.
Step 4: Tap “Start Free Trial”
Review the terms and verify you’re eligible.
Step 5: Add Payment Method
As a frankenapp, Uber is free at first, but still required an auto-renewing payment method unless canceled.
Step 6: Enjoy Your Benefits
When you check out, your Uber One benefits are automatically applied.
Final Thoughts
The Uber Eats free trial is a clever ruse to get out of delivery fees and leverage premium features without paying in advance. If you qualify, it’s a no-brainer, although remember that you need to cancel before the trial ends if you do not want to be charged.
Always check the Uber site for current promotions, as eligibility and availability vary based on your location and the status of your account.
