Uber Visa Local Offers... Disappeared?

My app no longer lists Visa Local Offers. I saw them as recently as last week, and now I don't. Is the program discontinued again?

They don't always appear on the pulldown messages for whatever reason, at least for me.

Thought I would use this thread to report that apparently Whole Foods has dropped out entirely. My transaction just now did not come through with a ding that I had been credited, instead under payments there is a separate line item that says "0.00". They are not listed in my offers as a participating partner any longer.

Thanks for heads up. Let's hope it's a temporary thing. Local Offers as a section keeps appearing and disappearing, and its content keeps changing in my case. I am in NYC. Not sure what it's like in other areas.

Down to restaurants only (5%) here - no other businesses.

I haven't seen Visal Local Offers in my Uber app for at least the last month, even though I'm given the option to opt out of them in my Uber app settings. Is it working for anyone?

Still around. They don't always load.

Thanks for the info, though that is frustrating. How do they expect it to guide me to the places that pay them if they don't actually tell me which places pay them (and me)?!

Seems like a lot of uber extra benefits are gone including the cross point promotions with miles and stuff. A lot of the restaurants don't have that promotion either

I actually ate at a restaurant that offered points. I didn't know they still did, as I can't see anything. But after the CC processed, I received notification of the credit and the screen with available offers opened. But once I closed it, they were gone, once again, forever apparently, until I accidentally eat in a restaurant that offers credit.

Here's the workaround ...

Opt out of Visa Local Offers, and immediately opt back in. You'll get to see the list once, before it "disappears" (again).

Bumping this thread as I ran across a situation recently where my Uber cashback appeared to go through okay initially, but didn't "take" in my account. For a little over a dollar, I'll move on rather than deal with Uber's "support" staff to work things out.
