Quick Thoughts
The Point debit card has engaged in some shady behavior recently with the fee charged on new account openings, but they continue to impress with some of their spending offers.
15x on Uber Eats spending is a great offer for a debit card, especially because it’s valid on up to $333.33 of spend within the next week. The Point debit card is also offering another of its five day streaks right now, so an Uber Eats purchase will not only earn you 15x (which is worth 15% cashback), but it’ll also count towards the streak.

Keep in mind that Uber/Eats will let you go back and change the payment method for prior orders, if you’ve placed orders with another card in the past few weeks.
Good call!
This doesn’t actually seem to work properly I’m afraid – changing the payment method causes them to show up as Uber, not Uber Eats. (Freshly placed orders do code as Uber Eats).
I know in the terms gift cards are excluded. I haven’t bought GC through uber in a min. But isn’t gift cards processed through uber? Anybody have an idea loading / buying gc in app show any difference then an actual purchase? Basically can they tell your buying a gc in app?
I think Uber Eats gift cards purchased in the app code differently and so it wouldn’t earn the 15x. I might be wrong, but I think that’s how it worked when testing an Uber Eats Amex Offer in the past.
Thanks for the quick reply. Always appreciated. I think your right.
What about a one time purchase of $25, $50, or $100 in the Uber eats app? I don’t like round numbers but the Uber eats app doesn’t say that is a GC and Point doesn’t exclude that in their T&Cs.
I’m looking to load up for personal use (actually my college son), so I understand this isn’t helpful for GC reselling.
I think payment might be processed differently which is what I think causes the tracking issue for offers like these. I might be wrong though as it might work – it’s just unfortunate that there’s no way of knowing if it’ll work as the bonus points don’t get awarded until after the promotion has ended.
Stephen is correct. Coded as 1x for me. Pretty lame, but imagine Uber is footing the bill.
Access offers like this always track as 1x initially, then the bonus points are awarded several weeks later. You might still earn 15x, but we won’t know until next month.
Email said it should post as 3x initially. Transaction shows as “uber cash”. 🙁
