The offer is only available on two festive days and can be used for takeaway or grocery delivery depending on what’s available in your local area
Money saving expert Martin Lewis says time is counting down on a deal which will save you £10 if you use Uber Eats delivery service.
Those who have an NHS or HSC email can get the cash off if they provide a code on Christmas Eve and Day. The code can be used in takeaway and grocery services provided by Uber if it is available in your area. But Martin warned the offer is only available on these two dates for those who provide a valid code which must be added to your account before ordering. Martin wrote on his Money Saving Expert site: “If you’re an NHS or HSC worker and have a valid NHS/HSC email address, you can get one £10 code to use on the Uber Eats app between 12.01am on Christmas Eve and 11.59pm on Christmas Day. It’s valid for the first 30,000 who order, and you’ll be able to use it for a takeaway, or for a grocery delivery, depending on what’s available on those days in your local area.”
He added that the code MUST be applied before you order to validate it. Martin also said would not work on orders which also have alcohol or tobacco products. He added: “Simply add your NHS/HSC email address to your Uber account by 11.59pm on Friday 20 December and you’ll receive an email with your £10 code.”
Anyone who does not have an Uber account should download the Uber Eats app from the Apple App store or from Google Play. They must then sign up using their NHS/HSC worker email address. You will, however, need to pay the difference if your order is over £10. Martin added that in addition to the delivery offer they can also secure £20 of free Uber rides if they fit the criteria for the offer. Martin also warned about another ‘money saving’ deal.
Families were told in The Mirror the dangers of ‘buy now pay later’ (BNPL) deals as Christmas approaches. Despite welcoming incoming regulations aimed at controlling the practice, the MoneySavingExpert founder noted they won’t be implemented until January 2026. This means shoppers won’t be protected either this Christmas or the next under consumer standards already in place for other financial transactions.
The new rules will address affordability and standard fairness practices, putting an end to the “completely unregulated Wild West” currently characterising BNPL, according to Martin. A free financial ombudsman may mediate in disputes between buyers and sellers but the money guru urged: “It’s important to understand with Christmas coming up and people use buy now pay later a lot, this Christmas and frankly next Christmas you still won’t be regulated.”
“So, be very wary before using buy now pay later at the moment. It can work well for some. But it is unregulated, you do not have the standard consumer protections and this thing called the consumer duty which basically means firms have to treat you fairly.”
