Uber Eats Pro Eligibility
All active Delivery people will be eligible to participate in Uber Eats Pro, unless you have chosen to opt-out. Eligibility for specific tiers and the corresponding Rewards are based on the way you use the Uber App. Additional information and details about eligibility requirements for each tier and its Rewards is set out in more detail in the next two sections.
How Is Your Uber Eats Pro Tier Determined?
Uber Eats Pro offers various membership tiers (“Tier(s)”). The different Tiers unlock access to certain Rewards offered by Uber and/or third parties (“Rewards”). Delivery people may earn points to access the different Tiers and Rewards offered in each Tier (“Points”).
There are four (4) Tiers available to Delivery people.
You will unlock a new Tier if you achieve the applicable Tier requirements (as set out in the table below) in a Programme Period (as defined below). Tier requirements are comprised of Points and your Driver Rating. Uber reserves the right to add or remove requirements for each Tier.

As soon as you meet the applicable Tier Requirements (as set out above), you will automatically be moved to the applicable Tier.
You will earn Points in monthly periods starting from 1 December 2022, with each month being a "Programme Period".
Your Points will not carry over into the next Programme Period and your Points balance will be reset to zero at the end of each Programme Period.
If you are moved to the next Tier during any Programme Period, you will hold that Tier for the remainder of the applicable Programme Period and for the duration of the next Programme Period, provided that you continue to meet the applicable requirements for that Tier.
Maintaining Your Tier - Quality Standards
In order to maintain your Gold, Platinum or Diamond Tier status during the entire applicable Programme Period, it is essential to, at all times, maintain a Satisfaction Rating of 96% or above (the “Quality Standard”). Your satisfaction rating (the “Satisfaction Rating”) is based on the average ratings you receive from restaurants and consumers for your last 100 rated deliveries, or the total number of rated deliveries you’ve completed, if you haven’t done 100 deliveries yet. We use the restaurant ratings you have received to calculate half of your rating, and consumer ratings to calculate the other half. You can access your Satisfaction Rating in the Feedback section of your app.
If you do not meet the Quality Standard during a Programme Period you will:
- lose your current Tier status and access to the corresponding Rewards; and
- be moved down to the Green Tier, provided that your Satisfaction Rating falls under 96% unless:
- you meet the Quality Standard for a higher Tier; or
- you choose to opt out of Uber Eats Pro in accordance with the ‘Opt Out’ section below.
Uber will send you a notification if you are at risk of losing your Tier status.
Once you achieve a Tier, some, but not all Rewards may be available for you to access immediately (please see Part 2 - Individual Rewards for further information). You may be required to exit the Uber Eats App, go offline and then come back online again in order to access specific Rewards.
How to Earn Points
You will earn 1 Point for every delivery you complete in South Africa as a Courier.
In addition to the 1 Point that you will earn for every delivery you complete as a Courier, you will earn additional points (“Additional Points”) when you complete a delivery during the following times (displayed in the local time zone) (“Additional Point Hours”):
Additional Points | Additional Point Hours |
---|---|
1 trip = 2 Points per delivery in total | 11:00-14:00 |
1 trip = 3 Points per delivery in total | 16:00-10:00 |
Points will be added to your Uber Eats Pro Account (as defined in the ‘Changes to Uber Eats Pro’ section below) in the Programme Period during which Uber Eats Processes the applicable Points (which may be a different Programme Period to when those Points were earned).
No Points will be earned where you use any services provided by Uber as a rider or eater.
Points earned in connection with Uber Eats Pro have no monetary value and may not be exchanged for cash.
Uber may revoke Points or adjust your Points balance where, in Uber's sole discretion, Uber believes that such Points were obtained under or in connection with any fraud, misuse of the Uber Eats App or in breach of your Courier Terms, the Community Guidelines and/or these Terms.
Uber Eats Pro Account and Points Balances
You will be provided with an Uber Eats Pro account which will be linked to your Courier Account and will be accessible via your Uber Eats App (“Uber Eats Pro Account”). Your Uber Eats Pro Account and the associated Rewards are personal to you and cannot be shared.
You will be able to view your Points, Tier and Rewards via your Uber Eats Pro Account.
You can view your current Points balances within the profile page of your Uber Eats App under "Points Balance". Points earned will usually be shown in your Uber Eats Pro Account straight after your delivery.
If you discover an issue with a transaction posted to your Uber Eats Pro Account, you can report it within one month after you discover the issue by contacting Uber (contact details are set out in the ‘Contact Us’ section below).
Uber will have sole discretion in decisions relating to the credit of Points to your Uber Eats Pro Account but will act reasonably in exercising such discretion.
Uber will use reasonable efforts to ensure Points balances are accurate, however, there may be a delay in displaying Points in your Uber Eats Pro Account where there is a system outage or other technical issue.
Your Points will not carry over into the next Programme Period and your Points balance will be reset to zero at the end of each Programme Period.
