Uber is shaking things up for Revolut Metal subscribers. Starting April 25, 2025, free Uber One benefits will be slashed to a maximum 50% discount.
This change has sparked concern among current subscribers, who are now faced with the reality of paying for their previously complimentary service.
A Shift in Benefits
On April 9, 2025, subscribers received an email titled "An update to your Uber One benefits," announcing this significant shift. The email stated:
"As part of our commitment to expanding the benefits of your Uber One subscription, we’re excited to share a new perk you’ll soon be able to enjoy: Firsty’s eSIM service."
This new eSIM service promises users improved mobile data access while traveling. However, many are questioning the value of this additional perk against the backdrop of reduced discounts.
User Reactions
Comments from users indicate mixed feelings about the changes.
One user pointed out, "That makes sense, I recently signed up with metal and couldn’t cash in on the uber one that was promised 'free'". Another chimed in, expressing frustration: "Whaa? Uber one is if it’s 50% discount, it should benonsense garbage to me what the hell has an esim service to do with uber."
This highlights a sentiment of disappointment among users who feel misled by the previous offerings.
