It's a deliciously insulting amount because it's not quite enough for a meal on Uber Eats.



Not quite enough? The last time I had a "discount" for Uber Eats, it was a $15 meal with so many fees on it that AFTER the $30 discount, I still needed to pay $35. Cancelled.


Yes, Uber Eats is so expensive it feels like they could give away $10 vouchers and still make a handsome profit. I wonder how much CrowdStrike paid for these vouchers? Surely nothing like $10 each.


Maybe someone in Uber's marketing department was very clever and saw this opportunity. "He Crowdstrike, we see that you are having a bad week. How about we help you out with free gift cards for your customers. That will help fix up the relationships". Or maybe they even paid Crowdstrike.


lol

At least an Amazon gift card is near its cash value, when you account for the markup on food delivery that $10 is about 4 USD


For my region, with all the fees, it is easily negative value unless i waa going to order anyway.


£7.75 GBP, ill admit i haven't used Uber eats in years because the prices are insane but im not sure that covers much more than the delivery fee.

(Also, people who want McDonalds 20 minutes after it was remotely edible and shaken to shit on the back of a moped, who are you? I see the bikes everywhere but have never met one of you irl)
