A TikTok user has gone viral after sharing a surprising—and unexpectedly sweet—tip for scoring free food on Uber Eats. While many so-called hacks on the platform can seem dubious, this one is gaining attention for its simplicity and charm.
In a video posted by Emma Boyd (@emmakateboyd), she claims that leaving a kind message with your order can lead to unexpected rewards. “I’ve literally cracked the code,” Boyd says in the clip. “All you have to do when you get Uber Eats is write something really nice in the caption. I said, ‘I f**king love Miss Chu.’ And they gave me a free dessert. It’s really that simple. Spread a little love, get a little love.”
Boyd’s video sparked a flurry of comments, with users debating the success of the approach. Some said they’ve been praising restaurants for years without receiving anything in return, while others expressed concern that the tip could backfire if it becomes too popular.
“Don’t tell people this!!” one user warned.
“I’ve done this every order for 5 years and never got anything free. Most people just hate kindness sadly,” another added.
Still, there were a few surprising success stories. One TikToker commented, “I wrote a cute note once and they refunded my whole order.” Another added a twist to the strategy: “Now next time tell them it’s your birthday.”
While results may vary, Boyd’s hack has left many wondering whether a little kindness could lead to sweet surprises. Whether it’s free dessert or a full refund, it might be worth testing the theory on your next Uber Eats order.
