Is Uber One Worth It in Australia in 2026?
Uber One costs $9.99 a month in Australia at the time of writing and pays off when the $0 Delivery Fee on eligible Uber Eats orders and rides credits beat that fee, plus where to buy Uber Eats gift cards and why you go through ShopBack before you order.
Is Uber One Worth It in Australia in 2026?
Uber One is usually worth it in Australia if you order Uber Eats or ride with Uber several times a month, and usually not if you order once a month or less. At the time of writing, Uber lists Uber One at $9.99 a month, with a $0 Delivery Fee on eligible Uber Eats orders and 5% Uber One credits on eligible rides. It pays off once those savings beat the fee.
ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that returns part of what you spend at partner stores. You go through ShopBack before you check out, and after the order is confirmed, money comes back to your account. Join ShopBack Australia for free, then open the Uber Eats page on ShopBack before your next order.
Is Uber One worth it in Australia?
Uber One is worth it when your monthly savings from free delivery and ride credits are higher than the $9.99 monthly fee, which usually means ordering or riding several times a month. If you order Uber Eats a couple of times a month or less, paying the delivery fee on each order is often cheaper than the membership.
A quick way to decide:
- Look at last month in the app. Count your Uber Eats orders and add up the delivery fees you paid on them. The receipts in the app show each fee.
- Check your usual stores. The $0 Delivery Fee only applies at stores marked with the Uber One icon, and only once the order minimum is met. If your favourite places are not marked, the maths changes.
- Add your rides. If you also ride with Uber, 5% of your eligible ride spend comes back as Uber One credits.
- Compare with $9.99. If the delivery fees you would have saved plus the ride credits come to more than $9.99, the membership pays for itself.
The short version: Uber One suits regular users; occasional users usually do better paying per order. Either way, going through ShopBack before you order is the step that lowers what you pay on the order itself.
Uber One in Australia in 2026: price and benefits
Uber One in Australia costs $9.99 a month at the time of writing, according to Uber's Australian Uber One page. It is one membership covering both Uber rides and Uber Eats. Here is what Uber lists, at the time of writing:
| Benefit | What Uber says |
|---|---|
| Price | $9.99 a month, auto-renews |
| Free trial | Available to eligible first-time members |
| $0 Delivery Fee | On eligible food, grocery and other orders over the minimum subtotal, at stores marked with the Uber One icon |
| Ride credits | 5% Uber One credits on eligible Uber trips, expiring after 60 days |
| HOYTS | $12 general admission tickets and free popcorn refills, with conditions and upgrade fees for some screens |
| Qantas Points | Earn on eligible Eats and rides when you link a Qantas Frequent Flyer account |
| Top-rated experience | Access to top-rated drivers and delivery people, subject to availability |
| Member offers | Member-only promos and special items |
| Travel | Ride credits and $0 Delivery Fee in other countries where the benefit exists |
| Cancelling | Cancel any time with no fees in the Uber One section of the app |
What Uber One does not cover. Uber says the $0 Delivery Fee is separate from Priority and Long Range Fees, which you still pay, and that other fees and exclusions may apply. Fees added to your order do not count towards the order minimum. The store page in the app shows the minimum for each store, and Uber says it can change.
Uber Eats membership benefits: are they worth it for you?
The Uber Eats membership benefits are worth it mainly for households that order delivery every week; for occasional users, the HOYTS and Qantas perks rarely make up the difference on their own. Here is how the main benefits play out.
Free delivery is the core value. Most of what you get from Uber One comes from not paying the delivery fee. Delivery fees on Uber Eats vary by store, distance and time, so the only reliable way to size this is your own order history.
Ride credits help if you ride. At 5%, you would need about $200 of eligible rides a month for the credits alone to equal the $9.99 fee. Uber says the credits expire after 60 days and are not earned on the part of a trip paid with credits. They can be spent on eligible rides and Uber Eats orders.
HOYTS tickets help if you go to the movies. Uber lists $12 general admission tickets at HOYTS for members, with conditions and extra fees for some premium screens. If you see a film most months, this alone can cover a good part of the fee.
Qantas Points are a small plus. Linking a Qantas Frequent Flyer account lets members earn Qantas Points on eligible Eats and rides, according to Uber. Treat points as a nice perk rather than the reason to join, since they do not lower what you pay today.
When it is not worth it:
- You order Uber Eats once a month or less.
- Your usual stores are not marked with the Uber One icon.
- Your orders are often below the minimum subtotal.
- You mostly use another delivery app.
Other delivery and meal stores on ShopBack Australia include DoorDash and HelloFresh, so it is worth comparing what you actually use before you sign up for any membership.
Uber One official membership programme: how to join and cancel
You join Uber One in the Uber or Uber Eats app, and you can cancel at any time with no fees, according to Uber. Uber says the membership auto-renews and charges your payment method at the rate and frequency you chose when you signed up, once any free trial ends.
To cancel, Uber says you go to the Uber One section of the Uber app, select Manage Membership, then End Membership. If you cancel less than 48 hours before your renewal day, Uber says you may see a charge that is automatically refunded.
A tip if you are unsure: if you are eligible for the free trial, use it during a normal month of ordering and compare the delivery fees you would have paid. If the savings do not beat $9.99, end the membership before the trial finishes.
Can you buy Uber Eats gift cards at a discount?
Not often: at the time of writing, neither Uber nor Everyday Gifting shows a discount on the face value of Uber Eats gift cards. A gift card is mainly a way to give Uber Eats to someone else, or to set a food delivery budget, rather than a way to pay less.
What you can do:
- Collect points where you buy. Everyday Gifting says signing in with Everyday Rewards lets you buy a gift card, collect Rewards points and get exclusive deals. Check the offer terms at the time you buy.
- Watch for retailer promotions. Gift card offers at retailers come and go, so check the retailer's own site or catalogue for current offers.
- Pay less on the order instead. The more dependable saving is on each order: go through ShopBack before you check out, and part of what you spend comes back after the order is confirmed.

Uber Eats gift cards in Australia: where to buy official cards
Official Uber Eats gift cards in Australia are sold by Uber on its own site and by participating retailers, including Everyday Gifting. Here is what each source says at the time of writing.
| Where | What you can buy | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Uber gift cards page | Uber gift cards | Sent digitally or in the mail; Uber says they work for rides and Uber Eats orders |
| Everyday Gifting (previously Woolworths Gift Cards) | Uber Eats Gift Card and Uber Gift Card | eGifts with a 3-year expiry, usually emailed within 10 minutes once the order is verified; not eligible for change of mind returns |
| Participating retailers | Uber gift cards | Uber says you can find them at participating retailers |
| Uber for business | Bulk gift cards | Uber's corporate portal is for buying more than 10 gift cards at once |
How to redeem an Uber gift card. Uber says you open the Account section in the Uber or Uber Eats app, select Wallet, choose Gift card under Uber balances, enter the code and tap Add. The balance then pays for your next ride or order.

Uber Eats card rewards, points and ShopBack: what can work together
You can usually earn your card's rewards and Cashback on the same purchase, because they come from different places.
- Credit card rewards. Your card issuer usually pays rewards on the amount you are charged. Check your card's terms for how food delivery is categorised.
- Qantas Points through Uber One. Uber says members earn Qantas Points on eligible orders and rides once their Qantas Frequent Flyer account is linked.
How ShopBack lowers what you pay on Uber Eats
Before you check out, go through ShopBack to get a post-purchase discount on the order. It works the same way on food delivery as it does on travel: for merchants like 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.
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. The Uber Eats page on ShopBack shows which purchases earn Cashback and the live rate.
How to do it on Uber Eats:
- Open ShopBack Australia and go to the Uber Eats page.
- Check the live rate shown on that page.
- Open Uber Eats from its ShopBack page and finish the order in the same visit. On your phone, open Uber Eats from the ShopBack app and finish the order there.
- Cashback shows as pending in your ShopBack account soon after you pay, and confirms once the order is complete.
Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account.
Working out what an order really costs. Your effective price is what you pay minus the Cashback that comes back, so check the live rate on the ShopBack Uber Eats page before you order.
