🛍️ Uber’s Subscription Service Under FTC Scrutiny For Making It Hard To Cancel |
Have you ever decided to cancel a subscription, only to have to fight a “retention expert” or navigate a labyrinth of automated phone instructions or online box-ticking exercises? |
The experience can be as frustrating as any. And it doesn’t seem fair. Especially when it’s so easy to subscribe. |
Now, these companies are running into some resistance. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is investigating Uber over its Uber One subscription service. |
The service offers discounts on Uber rides and Uber Eats deliveries. But the enrollment and cancelation terms may violate consumer protection laws. |
About 25 million people subscribe to Uber One. Google search volume for “how to cancel Uber One” has more than doubled since the start of 2024. |
The FTC finalized a law in October aiming to make canceling as easy as subscribing (the “click-to-cancel” rule). |

Clark is very concerned that many of us may be under-insured. Also, the holiday season is a great time to help our communities through donations. But how do you choose the best charity? Clark shares his advice. |
