Amazon Prime Members To Get Extra Benefits On Uber Rides: Know How

E-commerce giant Amazon has joined hands with the popular online app-cab service provider, Uber, to offer a host of benefits for users of both platforms. This tie-up, marking the second phase of their partnership, commenced in May 2023 and offers an array of benefits for Prime members. With this partnership, Prime members will get significant discounts on their Uber rides, enabling them to enjoy affordable rides.

Benefits of Uber-Amazon Partnership for Prime Users

As a part of the partnership between Uber and Amazon, Prime members will enjoy enhanced benefits when they book an Uber ride. Effective from May 2023, members will not only receive an additional 5 percent cashback on unlimited rides when using Amazon Pay as their payment method, but the benefits will also be distributed between Amazon and Uber.

Out of the earned cashback of 5 percent, users will receive 4 percent on Uber credit, while the remaining 1 percent will be received as Amazon Pay cashback. After receiving the cashback, users can use it on their future Uber rides and enjoy more discounts while shopping on Amazon.

Those who want to access these benefits have to link their Amazon Pay wallet to Uber and make Uber payments via Amazon.
