Uber Pro: rewards that go the extra mile, like you
Summary
Uber is rolling out a redesigned Uber Pro driver rewards program that combines Uber Pro with Advantage Mode in markets where Advantage Mode operates. Drivers earn points by accepting trips, cancelling less, completing safe rides, and advancing through statuses, while lower Gold and Platinum thresholds and reduced Gold requirements add flexibility. Gold includes a 5% Pro Perk on eligible non-premium rides, Exclusive trip requests, and Trip Radar Advantage; Platinum adds Priority Reserve and a third Destination Mode session, and Diamond offers a renewable free three-month Uber One membership. Existing rewards, including Costco Gold Star membership, ASU tuition coverage, and Upside gas discounts, remain available, while eligibility and exclusions vary by ride type, status, market, and program terms.
Context
Uber says the redesign is intended to better support drivers with more earnings opportunities, flexibility, and a better day-to-day experience. In Advantage Mode markets, Uber Pro and Advantage Mode are being combined, with most drivers who previously qualified for Advantage Mode expected to qualify for Gold in Uber Pro.
Approach / What changed
The program awards points for accepting trips, cancelling less, and safely completing rides, then uses status levels to provide different rewards. Lower thresholds, reduced Gold requirements, Driving Insights, a redesigned Uber Pro hub, and status-specific perks are being introduced as the new experience rolls out by city.
Takeaways
Platinum and Diamond drivers always receive a third Destination Mode session; declines and cancellations do not end it, although they still affect acceptance and cancellation rates.
The 5% Pro Perk excludes premium, delivery, Hourly, Reserve, and several other ride types. Promotions, tips, tolls, and third-party fees are excluded from its calculation, and Uber makes no earnings guarantee.
Diamond drivers can re-enroll for another free three-month Uber One trial after the initial trial if they retain Diamond status. The membership does not auto-renew.
