Just in case anyone else hadn't noticed - the Uber promotion where you got 5% back on train tickets has recently been reduced to 3% Sad Still worth having though.

However... I've just discovered that if you join Uber One, you get 10% of your ticket cost back in Uber credits (plus a few other benefits). Uber One is £4.99pm after the first free month.

So even with my relatively low usage of 3 trips per week at £10.25 each I make it a saving of about £12pm, £7 more than the subscription.

Anyone tried this? I'm giving it a go...

Uber One comes bundled with Monzo apparently, if anyone uses them. And I've been told the one month free trial period is 3 months if you pay by Barclaycard.
