How do I add Amex benefits to Uber?

To get your Uber Cash, you'll first need to link your card(s) to your Uber account. To do this, head to your wallet on the Uber app and add your Amex Gold and/or Amex Platinum as a payment method. If you have both of these cards (as I do), the two monthly credits will be combined into your total Uber Cash balance.



To add your American Express Platinum or Gold card benefits to your Uber account in 2026, you must link the card directly as a payment method in the Uber app. First, open the Uber or Uber Eats app, go to the "Account" tab, and select "Wallet." Tap "Add Payment Method" and enter your Amex card details. Once the card is successfully added, the Amex Uber Cash benefit will be automatically applied to your account on the first of each month ($15 for Platinum, $10 for Gold). To use the benefit, ensure that "Uber Cash" is toggled on when you confirm a ride or order. For Platinum members, there is an additional 2026 benefit: a $120 Uber One statement credit. To get this, you must subscribe to an auto-renewing Uber One membership and set your Amex Platinum as the primary payment for the subscription. Note that adding the card via Apple Pay or Google Pay will not trigger these benefits; it must be the raw card details stored in the Uber Wallet.
