Uber's $20B Buyback and Loyalty Program Fuel Q3 Bookings Surge

As of August 6th, 2025, Uber has unveiled a $20 billion stock buyback program and forecasted its third-quarter bookings to be above Wall Street estimates. This comes as the ride-hailing and delivery services company benefits from the growing adoption of its paid loyalty program.

Uber reported that membership for its $9.99 "Uber One" program jumped 60% in June compared to a year earlier, reaching over 36 million members. These loyal users now account for more than one-third of Uber's total bookings, generating over three times the profit compared to users who only use one of Uber's services.

To further drive adoption of the loyalty program, Uber held a week-long promotional event in May that offered discounts and deals across rides, food delivery, and groceries. This initiative added half a million new users to the "Uber One" program over the course of the week.
