Been using mixed payment methods and never noticed it. Either a myth or they kinda hide it smart.
I haven't tested it myself but there have been a few reports suggesting so long as you have a positive credit balance you will have a higher price (irrespective of what payment you choose). They tested with another account without a balance side by side.
Are you saying you've tested this and it's false? If so then maybe it's just a myth
woah, where have you heard of this before?
@Uncle Roger: It's on reddit and some (albeit small news websites have asked uber about it and they deny it). As I say I haven't tested it myself but maybe we should test it amongst the ozb community :)
This is the first I've heard as well… would like to hear more confirmation if it's true!
If true, you can always work around this by changing your payment method for all your orders afterwards
Beware of this offer if you are purchasing the cards for yourself.
I bought the $100 one for $90. It applies as $100 but after a few hours or days it adjusted back to $90.
I kept looking at my history to find out where that $90 card came from and then I realised it was the one I bought for myself through the platform.
I spend anywhere from $1000-$2000 a month on Uber, so this was just chump change I'll consider a minor loss; but for casual users this might be something important to be aware of. Let me know if anyone else has had this issue too.
Isn't uber known for price jacking if you have gift card balance?
