My assumption here is they exploited a race condition between order cancellation and spend, as well as the lack of transparency on spend items. As in, Uber has to provide some allowance for the Uber Eats courier to spend while the cancellation happens. 1. Enter order for $700 of whatever 2. Got to store. 3. Cancel order 4. Buy $700 gift cards immediately Uber sees the driver doing his job. Credit cards don’t report what’s bought, only that $700 was spent. Uber courier says “oops, I didn’t see the cancel in time”. Customer isn’t charged in this case, they cancelled. They leave with $700 of gift cards. Still, seems easily detectable behavior, but maybe it’s common anyway.
