    Referral codes and offers can change or expire. Use the current code shown on this guide and check the offer displayed by Uber during signup. The code inside the screenshot may be outdated. Entering a code does not guarantee a reward.

  5. Step 5 of 10

    Choose how you want to earn

    If you want to deliver food, choose an option labelled Delivery or Entrega. Do not choose passenger trips (Viajes) if you only want to do Uber Eats deliveries.

  6. Step 6 of 10

    Select motorbike or scooter delivery

    Choose motorbike or scooter if that is how you plan to deliver and if Uber offers that option in your city. Recreational e-scooters are generally not accepted.
