Paytm is running an introductory where users purchasing the gift card are eligible for a cashback of Rs 100 by using the promo code GIFT05 while making the purchase.
The gift cards will come with a validity of 36 months, from the date of purchase, there is no limit on the usage of a gift card, they can be used fully or partially depending on the user’s needs. According to the terms and conditions, the gift cards will only be available in Indian cities, where wither Uber or the Uber Eats service is available.

Consumers can redeem Uber gift cards by opening the Uber app and heading to its ‘Payments’ section. Where they will then need to press on ‘add a payment’ option and select Gift Card. A new window will open where users will be required to enter their gift card code. After that is done, users will be able to view the amount as Uber credits.
