Not to mention this “apology” has profit for Uber built into it. Or serves as a marketing campaign for them, depending on what kind of deal they offered them to use Uber gift cards for this.
Like with $10 not even being enough to order much of anything, Uber could probably still come out ahead of they offered them at less than half of the “face value”. I regularly get offers for more than $10 off other food delivery services just to sign up, so I wouldn’t even rule out Uber offering to do this for free just for the marketing.
Like I ignore those other offers but had to think about this one before I realized it was just as ignorable because the idea of it being “compensation” made it seem more worthwhile than a marketing giveaway would be.
Plus, I bet there’s an agreement to not sue baked into this offer.

It also wouldn’t cover a meal from Uber Eats.
Definitely worse than nothing.

Especially since it’s a gift card not money

A sandwich is $12-15 these days. That doesn’t even include the service fee or the driver’s tip.
