Uber launches gift cards for rides and UberEats in the UK
Uber has introduced gift cards for its ride-hailing app and UberEATS food delivery service in the UK. The vouchers, which are available in increments between £15 ($19) and £500, can be purchased via the Uber app, sent as a personalised message or bought at selected WHSmith stores.

Just what everyone wants for their birthday

Give the gift of UBER as ride-sharing company launches gift cards in the UK

If you're struggling with what to get that special someone for their birthday - how about a gift card for an Uber ride?

Following in the footsteps of Apple, Amazon and Google, Uber has announced it will start selling gift cards for rides in the UK.

Gift cards can be purchased through the Uber app or at selected WH Smith stores. They can also be sent through the app along with a personalised message to a friend or colleague.

If you really want to impress the recipient you can even add a photo.

Working like any other gift cards, they allow you to add credit to your account. The gift cards can be used on both Uber and UberEATS and don't have an expiry date.

The gift cards are available at a range of prices, from £15 up to £500. Which could be useful for anyone that's experienced a horrendous Uber bill at the end of a night out.

The introduction of gift cards comes hot on the heels of Uber's partnership with Barclaycard that allows customers of the bank to enjoy free rides.
