- Enroll in Uber One at uber.com/uberone and pay with Platinum to get $120 back each year in a statement credit.
- Download or update the Uber, Uber Eats, or Postmates app, and add Platinum as your account’s payment method.

How to Maximize Your Platinum Uber Benefits
You can explore different strategies for maximizing your Platinum Uber benefits:
- Double Up Savings
Consider aligning your biggest takeout orders or grocery hauls on the days Uber runs promotions so you can trim down your food bill even further. - Holiday Ride Hack
You could integrate more downtime into traveling by using the Uber Cash Benefit to cover airport rides (especially by using the extra December credit during the busy holiday travel season). Then schedule your no-fee Uber One dinner delivery when you’re back home and too tired to cook. - Monthly Reset Reminder
Since Uber Cash expires monthly, set reminders for the last week of every month to order groceries with Uber Eats or order rides for yourself or a friend. - Spend to Save
If you use Uber daily, you could apply your monthly Uber Cash toward short weekday rides and let Uber One’s 6% back work in the background, so even your out-of-pocket rides earn you more travel.
