I've heard this rumor again and again, sometimes with screenshot "proof" so I don't buy rideshare giftcards anymore.
Thanks for the information. This was very helpful. I have used Lyft never uber for some rides in the past so I will need to create and account with uber and give this a try.I haven't been in the Uber gc marker lately but Target sells get Lyft gc's at least online, I'll grab them when I get a circle bonus promo offer. Amazon sometimes runs sales on Lyft cards. Fwiw your issue could be surge pricing, when getting a car at MCO I flip between apps for the best price to try to work around that a bit. If I had to pick one to buy I'd go Lyft as they are often cheaper than Uber in Orlando lately for whatever reason but it's not a guarantee.
Lyft for me no longer allows me to use my gc as a payment method when ordering a car FYI. I have to go back in after I've ordered it and change the payment method to use my Lyft gc balance. A "glitch" that very conveniently for Lyft they just don't seem to be able to fixThere is a rumor out there your price is sometimes higher if you have gift cards in your account for both companies, I haven't seen it proven but there is chatter.
Frankly I'd probably skip the gc and stick with using cash and just go with the cheaper one at the time. I use rideshares often on vacay so I know I'll go through my balance but for just saving $5 bucks on an airport ride Idk I'd want the hassle of the gc and to be locked into one service.
Sometimes it's recommended to wait to make a new account until you are at your destination city in case that triggers a city specific offer.
I had all kinds of issues a couple days ago. It would say it didn't transfer but it did and it also didn't delete my cards. I found it worked best to say "keep empty cards" and then just X out of them after the transfer to delete them.
I've seen this a lot too! It also happens with Uber Eats and promotions
Sharing that I got two DGCs on separate Price Plus cards yesterday and the offer code printed out just fine.Shoprite shoppers

Spend $50+ on GC’s (excluding Visa, Mastercard and ShopRite cards) get a $10 coupon for your next order.
Purchase 3/29-4/4
Redeem 4/5-4/11
Limit one per customer
The 5% rebate will post as soon as the statement closes, then you can immediately use it to make a payment on your account
This is the way...
And my husband had, um, strong words with the manager of shoprite because this particular store makes you pay cash for GC’s.
Oh wow! I am glad the stores I shop at don't do that.
Sane. Beginning of new quarter for my BOA customized cash card, and I have a trip and possible AP renewal coming up, so I was in there first thing with new e-cards. Looks like it all went through fine.
I picked the $5, then clicked through and it did not show on my account, and the Freebie section is no longer showing up for me.
LOL - It takes a little bit of time. But it should be there in your wallet
