Uber's $20B Buyback and Loyalty Program Fuel Q3 Bookings Surge
6 Aug
Summary
- Uber's $9.99 "Uber One" loyalty program sees 60% jump in members
- Over one-third of Uber's bookings come from loyalty program users
- Uber forecasts Q3 bookings above Wall Street estimates

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.

Both Uber and its rival Lyft are under pressure from investors to maintain growth as the North American ride-hailing market matures. Uber's strong Q2 performance, with an 18.2% jump in gross bookings, has positioned the company well for the current quarter. The company expects Q3 gross bookings to be between $48.25 billion and $49.75 billion, exceeding analysts' estimates of $47.3 billion.
