Major supermarket teams up with Uber Eats to give shoppers exclusive loyalty scheme prices and big discounts
WAITROSE shoppers can now bag even more perks when ordering through Uber Eats.
The collaboration will make it quicker and easier to earn offers while putting dinner on the table.

The posh supermarket has extended its MyWaitrose loyalty scheme to customers using Uber Eats, meaning you can now buy products at big member-only discounts when using the app.
Loyalty members can now link their MyWaitrose card to their Uber Eats app and unlock exclusive offers on thousands of groceries delivered straight to their door in as little as 30 minutes.
While Waitrose was unable to provide examples of the discounts, The Sun has found offers of up to 25% off on essentials like milk.
The supermarket giant says that after linking the account, its discounts will appear on your Uber Eats app.
The offers will vary and change regularly.
The move is part of a wider shake-up of the chain's loyalty programme, which recently saw shoppers offered reusable coffee cups as part of a free hot drink perk.
Waitrose launched on Uber Eats in July 2023.
What started in just five London stores has now expanded to over 250 branches across the UK, stocking 18,000 products.
To do this, shoppers can sign up for MyWaitrose online and enter their loyalty number directly into the Uber Eats app when shopping at the Waitrose store.
Laura Burbedge, director of Waitrose Online, said: 'Our on-demand partnerships have enabled us to bring our quality products to new food-loving customers.
The best loyalty schemes revealed & how to get freebies
"We now want to provide greater value to customers ordering via Uber Eats.'
'To start making savings, customers just need to link their MyWaitrose account to their Uber Eats account.'
Alex Troughton, Uber Eats' Regional GM of Grocery and Retail, added: 'Our partnership with Waitrose is all about combining quality with convenience and now, with offers for MyWaitrose members, we're adding even more value.'
It's the latest sign that big supermarkets are betting big on home delivery and making it easier for customers to cash in on loyalty perks.

Loyalty scheme changes at other retailers
Meanwhile, Morrisons shoppers can now earn More Points even when they're not shopping at the supermarket– thanks to a perk that launched last month.
The change means that Morrisons More Card holders can collect points with over 300 popular brands including eBay, Just Eat, Expedia, Asos, Very, and loads more.
It followed last year's decision to bring back the More Points scheme, after scrapping the old My Morrisons setup which didn't offer points on purchases.
Earlier this year, Tesco also made a major change to its Clubcard scheme, to the delight of pizza lovers.
Customers were able to exchange their points for money off drinks and food at PizzaExpress until the end of April.
Any Clubcard points exchanged for money off at Pizza Express were worth double, so a £1.50 voucher would have saved you £3.
Sainsbury's also made a huge change to its Nectar loyalty scheme for 18 million customers.
The UK's second biggest grocery store introduced a new security feature on its loyalty card app to prevent points from being stolen.
The free scheme allows customers to earn one Nectar point for every £1 spent at Sainsbury's, both in-store and online.
Supermarket loyalty schemes - which has one?
MOST UK supermarkets have loyalty schemes so customers can build up points and save money while they shop.
Here we round up what saving programmes you'll find at the big brands.
Iceland: Unlike other stores, you don't collect points with the Iceland Bonus Card. Instead, you load it up with money and Iceland will give you £1 for every £20 you save.
Lidl Plus: Lidl customers don't collect points when they shop, and are instead rewarded with personalised vouchers that gives them money off at the till.
Morrisons: The My Morrisons: Make Good Things Happen replaces the More Card and rewards customers with personalised money off vouchers via the app.
Sainsbury's: While Sainsbury's doesn't have a personal scheme, it does own the Nectar card which can also be used in Argos, eBay and other shops. You need 200 Nectar points to save up £1 to spend on your card. You need to spend at least £1 to get one Nectar point.
Tesco: Tesco Clubcard has over 17million members in the UK alone. You use it each time you shop and build up points that can be turned into vouchers - 150 points gets you a £1.50 voucher. Here you need to spend £1 in Tesco to get one point.
Waitrose: myWaitrose also doesn't allow you to collect points but instead you'll get access to free hot drinks, and discounts off certain brands in store.
