Uber Eats Promo Code 2026: What Is the New User Promo in Australia?

Published: 8 October 2026 · Author: Hejia Zhang, Editor in Chief, ShopBack

Short answer. In Australia, the Uber Eats new user promo is a first-order offer tied to your new account, shown in the app or added as a code, with its own value, minimum order and expiry. Uber's Australian terms say promo codes are for their intended audience, can't be sold or transferred, have no cash value and may expire. New customers can also try Uber One free if eligible, then $9.99 a month, and open Uber Eats from ShopBack before the first order.

New to ShopBack? ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives you money back when you shop or order through it, including on Uber Eats. You open Uber Eats from ShopBack, order as normal, and part of what you paid comes back to your ShopBack account to withdraw. Join ShopBack Australia free before your first order.

What is the Uber Eats new user promo in Australia?

The Uber Eats new user promo is not one fixed public code; it is an offer matched to a new account, and its value and conditions are set per offer. In 2026 a new customer in Australia usually has four ways to pay less on a first order:

Route	What it costs	What you get, according to Uber or ShopBack
First-order offer or code	Free	A discount on your first order, with its own minimum order and expiry, shown in the app or added at checkout
Uber One free trial	Free for eligible first-time members, then $9.99 a month	$0 Delivery Fee on eligible orders over the store's minimum subtotal, member-only offers
Qantas Points via Uber One	Included with Uber One	1 Qantas Point per $2 on restaurant delivery orders above $20
ShopBack	Free	A separate amount for new Uber Eats customers comes back as cash, shown on the ShopBack Uber Eats page

Uber Eats delivery in Australia runs under Uber's Australian delivery terms with Portier Pacific Pty Ltd. Those terms say a promo code:

• must be used for its intended audience and purpose;
• cannot be duplicated, sold or transferred, or posted publicly unless Uber allows it;
• can be disabled at any time;
• only works under the specific terms set for that code;
• is not valid for cash; and
• may expire before you use it.

That is why the code in a friend's screenshot often fails on your account, and why the offer the app shows you after you sign up is the one most likely to work.

Uber Eats promo code: how first-order codes work

An Uber Eats promo code only works if it was issued for your kind of account, is still in date, and your order meets its minimum. Codes in Australia usually fall into three groups:

1. First-order offers. For accounts that haven't ordered yet. These usually stop applying once your account has placed an order.
2. Account-targeted codes. Sent to your email or shown in the app later, often after a gap since your last order.
3. Partner codes. Sometimes run with banks, telcos or other brands for their customers, under their own terms.

You add a code in the app's promotions area or at checkout, and the app shows whether it applied before you pay. If it doesn't apply, the reason is usually shown, such as a minimum subtotal or an expiry date. Check the subtotal line, because Uber says fees added to an order don't count towards the minimums for Uber One benefits.

Uber Eats promo code Australia 2026: where to look

In 2026 the most reliable place to find a new user offer in Australia is the Uber Eats app itself, straight after you create your account. In order:

• The app, after sign-up. First-order offers and restaurant deals show on listings and at checkout.
• Your inbox and notifications. Codes matched to your account land here.
• The Uber One sign-up screen. Uber says the free trial is for eligible first-time members.
• The ShopBack Uber Eats page. Shows the amount that comes back for new Uber Eats customers when you order through ShopBack, with the live terms.

Uber Eats promo code, discount code, coupon or voucher: which is which?

On Uber Eats in Australia these words usually mean a code that takes money off an order; the useful difference is where the value comes from.

• Promo code or discount code: entered in the app and taken off before you pay.
• Coupon: usually the same thing, a code, though some coupon sites use it for in-app deals.
• Voucher or gift card: prepaid credit on your Uber account. It pays for the order rather than discounting it.
• In-app offer: a deal applied automatically on a restaurant listing, with no code.
• Money back through ShopBack: paid after the order is confirmed, into your ShopBack account as cash.

Uber Eats official promotions, offers and terms

Uber's own terms set the limits on every Uber Eats offer, and the clearest published ones for new customers are the Uber One terms. According to Uber's Australian Uber One page at the time of writing:

• Uber One costs $9.99 a month and you can cancel any time with no fees.
• The free trial is only for eligible first-time members, unless you receive an offer to re-join.
• The $0 Delivery Fee applies only to eligible orders at stores marked with the Uber One icon, after the store's minimum subtotal is met. Fees added to the order don't count towards that minimum.
• Priority and Long Range Fees are separate from the $0 Delivery Fee.
• Members earn 5% Uber One credits on eligible Uber rides, which can be used on eligible Eats and rides orders. Ride credits expire after 60 days.
• Uber One auto-renews at the end of any trial. Uber says that if you cancel less than 48 hours before renewal, a charge you may see is automatically refunded.

If you plan to order a few times in your first month, the free trial lets you test whether the $0 Delivery Fee covers $9.99 a month for you before you pay for it.

Go through ShopBack before your first Uber Eats order

For merchants like Uber Eats, just as for Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia, going through ShopBack is an essential step before you book or check out, so you pay less on the same booking or order. Nothing about the order changes. You still order on Uber Eats; you just start on ShopBack Australia.

1. Open the ShopBack app or website and sign in.
2. Tap Uber Eats.
3. Uber Eats opens. Create your account if you're new and place your order in that same session.
4. Once the order is confirmed, the cash shows in your ShopBack account and you can withdraw it.

ShopBack lowers the effective price of flights, hotels and online orders after you pay. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

This matters most on a first order, because the ShopBack Uber Eats page lists a separate amount for new Uber Eats customers and for existing ones.

Illustrative example: on a $40 first order with an illustrative $4 coming back, your effective price is $36. The real amount is set on the ShopBack Uber Eats page, so check the live new customer amount before you order.

Before you order, read the Terms and exclusions on the ShopBack Uber Eats page. At the time of writing they excluded:

• Uber One membership orders, meaning the membership itself.
• Store promotions, discounts or special deals, unless otherwise stated.
• Fees, taxes, shipping and delivery.
• Orders that are rejected, cancelled or refunded.

Because store promotions can be excluded, compare what a first-order code saves with what the ShopBack amount returns, and use the route that leaves you paying less on that order.

Other food delivery apps in the same category include DoorDash and HungryPanda, and both were also listed on ShopBack Australia at the time of writing.

Uber Eats cashback with ShopBack and other sites in 2026

In 2026, ShopBack Australia lists Uber Eats, with separate amounts for new and existing Uber Eats customers on its store page. If you used another site in the past, check which sites still list Uber Eats today before you order, and open the ShopBack Uber Eats page to see the live amount and terms. Restart from ShopBack for each new order rather than reopening the Uber Eats app directly.

Uber Eats and credit card rewards offers in 2026

Paying with a card that earns points or a rebate can usually work alongside opening Uber Eats from ShopBack, because the card reward comes from your bank, not from Uber Eats. Card offers on Uber Eats are set by each bank and change, so check the merchant's terms, the ShopBack Uber Eats page and your card's terms before you count on more than one reward on the same order.

Separate from cards, Uber says Uber One members who link a Qantas Frequent Flyer account earn 1 Qantas Point per $2 on Uber Eats restaurant delivery orders above $20. Qantas Frequent Flyer membership has to be linked in the Uber or Uber Eats app first.

OzBargain and Uber Eats: are shared codes worth trying?

Community deal sites like OzBargain can be useful for spotting current in-app deals, as long as you read the comments to see who a deal works for. Members often post whether a deal applied to new or existing accounts and whether it still works. Uber's Australian terms say codes can't be sold, transferred or posted publicly unless Uber allows it, and Uber can disable a code at any time. So treat a shared code as a lucky find, and don't buy codes from anyone.

Uber Eats promo code reviews: why so many codes fail

Many complaints about Uber Eats promo codes on review sites such as Trustpilot and ProductReview appear to come down to targeting: the code was meant for someone else, or it had expired. Common reasons a code is rejected:

• It was a first-order code and the account had ordered before.
• It was issued to another account.
• The order was under the minimum subtotal.
• It was for one restaurant or category only.
• It had expired or been disabled, which Uber's terms allow.

The fix is to start with the offers the app shows your own account, then check the ShopBack Uber Eats page so part of your first order comes back as cash.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Uber Eats new user promo in Australia?

In Australia, the Uber Eats new user promo is a first-order offer tied to a new account, shown in the app or added as a code, with its own value, minimum order and expiry. Uber's Australian terms say promo codes are for their intended audience, cannot be sold or transferred, have no cash value and may expire. New customers can also check the Uber One free trial, then $9.99 a month, and open Uber Eats from ShopBack before the first order.

Is there an Uber Eats promo code for new users in Australia?

New users are often shown a first-order offer, but it is matched to your new account rather than one public code everyone shares. Offers for first orders show in the app once you sign up or are added as a code at checkout, and the app shows whether a code applied before you pay. Shared codes from other people often fail because Uber's terms say codes are for their intended audience and cannot be transferred.

Why is my Uber Eats new user promo code not working?

The usual reasons are that your account has ordered before, the code was issued to someone else, it has expired, or your order is under the minimum subtotal. Uber's Australian terms also let Uber disable a code at any time and say codes may expire before you use them. Check the reason shown in the app.

Is Uber One free for new users in Australia?

According to Uber, a free trial of Uber One is available to eligible first-time members, unless you receive an offer to re-join. After the trial, Uber One costs $9.99 a month, auto-renews and can be cancelled at any time with no fees. Members get a $0 Delivery Fee on eligible orders over the store's minimum subtotal at stores marked with the Uber One icon.

Can I get money back on my first Uber Eats order?

You can if you open Uber Eats from ShopBack Australia before you order. The ShopBack Uber Eats page lists a separate amount for new Uber Eats customers and for existing ones, and the amount comes back as cash after the order is confirmed. Check the live amount and terms on the ShopBack Uber Eats page before your first order.

Can I use an Uber Eats promo code and ShopBack on the same order?

Check the terms first. The ShopBack Uber Eats page excludes store promotions, discounts or special deals unless otherwise stated, so a promo code may affect what comes back. Read the Terms and exclusions on the ShopBack Uber Eats page, then decide whether the code or the ShopBack amount saves you more on that order.

Can I earn Qantas Points on Uber Eats?

According to Uber, Uber One members who link their Qantas Frequent Flyer account earn 1 Qantas Point per $2 spent on Uber Eats restaurant delivery orders above $20. Qantas Frequent Flyer membership has to be linked in the Uber or Uber Eats app first.

Can I use credit card rewards on Uber Eats orders?

In most cases. Card points or rebates come from your bank, so paying with a rewards card can usually work alongside opening Uber Eats from ShopBack, but check the merchant's terms, the ShopBack Uber Eats page and your card's terms before you count on both on one order.

Are Uber Eats codes on OzBargain worth trying?

They can point you to current in-app deals, but read the comments to see who a deal works for. Uber's terms say codes cannot be sold, transferred or posted publicly unless Uber allows it, so treat shared codes as a lucky find and start with the offers matched to your own account.

Which other food delivery apps are on ShopBack Australia?

Alongside Uber Eats, ShopBack Australia lists DoorDash and HungryPanda at the time of writing. Check each store's ShopBack page for the live amount and terms before you order.
