Discounts & Deals 4 Military: American Express Platinum partnership with Uber and UberEATS

American Express recently (Mar 2017) partnered with Uber to offer a $200 credit to all Uber purchases annually on their AMEX "Platinum" cards. They give a $15 credit monthly (+ $35 in December).

This $15 credit can be used for Uber and for UberEATS. When you add your card to the Uber or UberEATS iPhone app it will show up as a credit. I have three AMEX Platinum cards so after adding them, it showed up as a $45 credit.

I rarely use Uber so I recently used UberEATS for the first time. My wife and I ordered a couple of Subs from Firehouse Subs and had them delivered to our house. There is a $4.99 processing fee that includes the cost of delivery. No tip is required.

What American Express Cards Qualify for this DEAL?

All regular platinum cards (including the Mercedes Benz, Schwab, Ameritrade variants)
The business platinum does not count toward the deal.

Whats the most effective way to maximize the discount?

If you have multiple cards, make just one order, that way you only have to pay one processing fee.
If you only have one card, look for a meal around $10. With the $5 processing fee you meal will then come out to be FREE.
