THanks, didn't know it was an option.
Something weird was when I signed up last night it said it would automatically charge on 10/29/21 unless I cancel but when I turned off auto renew it said my membership will expire on 11/29.
I have a phone reminder set as well. I don't see this pandemic ending anytime soon so they may extend it.

Checking again - I don't think so but will report back in a few days if the Eat Pass falls off my account and I (painfully) have to talk to Uber support

I do not have the Uber Eats app installed, but choosing Food in the Uber app displays an Uber Eats splash screen, and I can order food. Just curious if installing the separate Uber Eats app adds any features? I can try it to see, but if I knew what to look for it would be helpful.

The Uber Eats software also appears to be more polished than the version integrated into the main Uber app. For example, when using the Reorder feature to order from Starbucks, customized drinks need to be re-entered in the Uber app, but the Uber Eats app is able to submit the prior order including all options.

In the main Uber app I see an ad at the bottom of the screen You're Invited to try Eats Pass free for 1 month, but when I tap it I see, Sorry, Eats Pass isn't available to you right now. I installed the separate Uber Eats app, and I was invited to activate the American Express 12 month Eats Pass.

So, this is my new issue😀 I still have a Mexico UberEats pass attached to my UberEats app. Now, I'm in Los Angeles and everytime I try to use that app to order it says I can't use the Mexico UberEats pass in this location. So, I removed the Mexico address, rebooted and it still says I can't use it.
So, then I went into the regular Uber car app and clicked on food and it allows me to order food using that 12 month Amex UberEats pass for the US. I haven't actually used it but plan to so I can also take advantage of the $15 monthly Uber credit and the $0.00 service fee while I'm in the states. Hopefully it all works. I'll report back.
On edit: It doesn't work. It still goes back to Mexico's UberPass and just gives a small % off the price and still have to pay delivery charges. Oh well. At least I get to use the $15.00 off Amex credit. I think the only way it will work is that I cancel the Mexican UberPass.

I think I've solved this mystery. California doesn't have a "UberPass" discount.
FROM UBER:
An Uber Pass subscription gives you instant access to benefits including savings on rides and Uber Eats orders.
"When riding, you'll get 10% off each UberX, UberXL and Comfort trip and 15% off premium rides, including Black, Premier and SjUV. Additionally, you'll have access to a $0 delivery fee and 5% off Uber Eats orders. A $15 minimum order (not including taxes and fees) applies.
You can purchase an Uber Pass for $24.99/month and use it in cities across the United States (outside of California)."
US Uber Pass
Case closed.

), Eats Pass waives the delivery fee and gives 5% off orders of $15+ It does not, however, offer an explicit discount on the service fee.https://about.ubereats.com/us/en/how...ber-eats-pass/
Of course, if your order is greater than $15 then you will see a lower service fee, but that is an indirect savings due to the 5% discount on order (the service fee is a percentage of the order total) not because Uber is explicitly lowering the service fee w/Eats Pass. So, for example, on an order less than $15 you would not see a reduced service fee.

Technically, to really be clear (and correct ), Eats Pass waives the delivery fee and gives 5% off orders of $15+ It does not, however, offer an explicit discount on the service fee.
