How to Check Your Entire Uber Ride History with Just a Click

Uber is one of the most popular cab hailing services worldwide, with over 91 million monthly active customers spread across 63 countries. If you’re one of Uber’s many regular customers, I’m sure you’d be interested in knowing more about your rides so far.

While there’s a way to check your ride history from within the Uber app itself, it only lets you see all your rides individually with no option to get an overview of all the rides that you’ve taken so far.

But there’s a simple solution, and that’s exactly what I’m going to talk about in this article. However, before we get there, let’s first take a look at how you can check your Uber ride history using just the app.

Check Your Uber Ride History in the App

To check your ride history from within the app itself, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Open up the Uber app and click on the menu icon in the top left corner.

Step 2: Tap on the Your Trips option.

That will open up a list of all your past and upcoming rides with Uber, with the latest trip listed on the top. You can scroll down to see all your older trips but if you’re a frequent rider, scrolling through older rides is going to be a pain.

Tapping on each trip reveals all of the trip related details, including the fare, pickup and drop destinations, etc.

But, using this method is only useful if you want to check details for a single trip. If you want to see an overview of all your trips, then you’ll have to switch to your computer and open up Chrome .

Check Your Uber Ride History Using Chrome

To check your ride history using Chrome, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Head over to the Uber website and log in with your Uber account.

Step 2: Download the RideShare Trip Stats extension from the link below.

Get RideShare Trip Stats

Step 3: Once installed, tap on the extension icon next to the address bar and click on OK in the prompt.

Step 4: The extension will then redirect you to the Trips page which is pretty much the same as the Trips page on the app.

Step 5: Click on the extension icon again, and it will start processing all your data to create a detailed report.

Step 6: You can choose to get a detailed report with individual trip data by clicking on Yes in the following pop-up, but it will take much longer to process and might even trigger email receipts which will bombard your email ID with all your Uber receipts.

Step 7: Click on No instead, and the extension will instantly show all your ride statistics, including the number of rides, total amount spent, total time spent in an Uber, etc.

The data displayed by the extension is organized quite well, and it even shows information like the type of Uber rides you took, your favorite pickup and dropoff locations, the longest time you spent in an Uber, and also the names of the drivers you traveled with more than once.

I didn’t want the headache of receiving over a thousand email receipts in my inbox, so I didn’t check the option that displays individual receipts. However, if you don’t have as many trips, you can give it a shot and share your findings in the comments section below.

Check Your Uber Ride History Right Away

Looking at the data is quite overwhelming, to be honest. I had no idea that I had spent so much time and money on Uber. And I’m sure that your stats will surprise you as well. So, what are you waiting for? Download the extension and check your Uber ride history right away.

Next up: If you take as many Uber rides as I do, I’m sure you’ll have a ton of saved places on the app by now. Check out the following article to see how you can delete some of the saved places in the Uber app.

Everything you need to know about the Uber Rewards program

Editor's Note

Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here .

If you use Uber a lot, you should be familiar with its rewards program. Uber Rewards offers riders and food delivery customers rewards and elite status that comes with a wide variety of perks. The program has evolved over the years and is now much more rewarding than when it first launched in 2018.

The program is quite robust and somewhat resembles an airline or dining rewards program. It's free to join, but riders won't be automatically enrolled, so make sure you opt in via the app. You can register by opening the Uber app, tapping the menu icon in the top left corner and selecting Uber Rewards from the list.

For more TPG news delivered each morning to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter .

There are two main aspects to the Uber Rewards program: first, the rewards you earn, and second, the different tiers of elite status you can attain. In this guide, we'll take a look at both aspects.

Uber Rewards overview

Once you join Uber Rewards, you'll start earning points on rides and Uber Eats orders, Uber's food delivery service, immediately. Points-earning breaks down like this:

• 1 point per eligible dollar spent on Uber Pool, Express Pool and Uber Eats .
• 2 points per eligible dollar spent on UberX, UberXL, Uber WAV/Assist, Uber Comfort, Uber Connect, Uber Pet and Uber Select.
• 3 points per eligible dollar spent on Uber Black, Uber Black SUV and Uber Green.

Points are accrued based on a ride's base fare and taxes and fees. Unfortunately, tips, cancellation fees, taxi rides, bike rides and scooter rides aren't eligible for points-earning.

But how much are the points worth? Depending on how you redeem them, points can be worth up to 1.5 cents apiece.

The redemption options change periodically and may vary by market, but they generally range from 100 to 8,000 points. Here's a look at some of the redemption options you can expect:

• 10% off your next trip (up to $3) — 250 points.
• Free coffee from Starbucks ($3 value) — 250 points.
• Up to four free months of Apple Music — 500 points.
• 30-day free trial of HBO Max for new subscribers — 1,000 points.
• Free UberX trip (up to $30) — 2,000 points.
• Free Uber Eats order (up to $25) — 2,500 points.

Based on these redemption rates, you can expect to essentially get 1.5% back in Uber credit on Uber Pool rides and Uber Eats orders, 3% back on Uber's flagship UberX product and 4.5% back when taking rides in high-end vehicles like Uber Black.

While the program isn't insanely rewarding, it has a solid return -- especially when you consider that before the launch of Uber Rewards, no one was being rewarded at all. Even better, the Uber Rewards program stacks with points you'd earn from a credit card. So if you charge a $50 UberX ride to a card like the Chase Sapphire Reserve, which earns 3 points per dollar spent on travel purchases, you'd earn 100 Uber points through Uber Rewards (essentially worth $1.50 in Uber credit) and 150 Chase Ultimate Rewards points (worth $3 according to TPG's valuations ).

It's also worth mentioning that these rewards can be stacked with the Bonvoy points you earn through the Marriott-Uber partnership . That partnership allows you to earn up to 6 Marriott Bonvoy points per dollar spent on eligible food delivery orders and up to 3 Marriott points per dollar spent on select rides in the U.S.

There's no cap on how many points you can collect, and you'll even earn your own points on business rides charged to your employer's account and when splitting rides with friends. Just note that rewards points are valid for six months and there's no way to extend them.

Uber Rewards elite status

Earning elite status with Uber is relatively straightforward compared to airline and hotel loyalty schemes. It comes down to how many points you collect with Uber over six months.

Like an airline, you'll have a qualifying period to earn points toward elite status. These elite points are the same points you earn that you can redeem for Uber credit and are accrued at the same rate.

In the case of Uber Rewards, each rider has six months to hit status. The earning period is tied to the date you joined Uber Rewards, and when you obtain each level of status, you'll stay at that tier for the remaining earning period and the next six months after that.

Here are the points needed to earn each elite tier (which appear to be inspired by other, more prominent loyalty schemes ):

• Blue: Requires no points.
• Gold: Requires 500 points earned in six months (i.e., spend $250 on UberX rides).
• Platinum: Requires 2,500 points earned in a six-month period (i.e., spend $1,250 on UberX rides).
• Diamond: Requires 7,500 points earned in a six-month period (i.e., spend $3,750 on UberX rides).

For example, if you joined the program on Dec. 1, 2021, the six-month earning period would last until June 1, 2022. If you unlock Gold on Feb. 1, 2022, you'd have Gold status from that date until Dec. 1, 2022, since you keep your status for the remainder of the earning period and the six months after that.

And there's excellent news for riders who want a fast track to status. Uber automatically looks at everyone's ride history over the past six months and applies eligible rides toward your elite status. So, you may have status the minute you sign up for Uber Rewards.

Elite perks

Each elite tier comes with its own unique set of perks:

Blue: Access to earning reward points that you can redeem for Uber rides and Uber Eats orders.

Gold: Uber has introduced fees over the past few years if you cancel your ride more than two or three minutes after ordering it. Now, if a Gold member cancels a ride after the fee-free cancellation period but rebooks a new Uber within 15 minutes, you'll automatically have the cancellation fee refunded (normally about $5). Note that Uber Pool rides aren't eligible for this benefit. This is a great perk, as TPG staff and readers have dealt with ongoing issues around cancellation fees . You'll also receive priority support when contacting Uber, meaning faster response times and being connected with better-trained support agents.

Platinum: The biggest benefit Platinum members enjoy is the ability to boost your points-earning for UberX rides on one particular route by a multiple of five. That means that you'll earn a total of 10 points per dollar spent on UberX rides on your "favorite route." You'll be able to change this route once a month, and the boost works in both directions.

Platinum members also get priority pickup at most airports, where you'll jump to the front of the digital queue. However, this doesn't mean your car will be curbside in two minutes — you'll still be subject to wherever the closest driver may be, which could be in an off-site parking lot. Platinum members also enjoy all the benefits of Gold members.

Diamond: Uber's top-level Diamond members get four more valuable extras by sitting on the loyalty program's throne. Diamond members have dedicated phone support from Uber's "most-experienced customer support agents." Most exciting is that Diamonds receive complimentary surprise upgrades from UberX cars to premium products like Uber Black or Uber Select — although Uber doesn't specify when or how you'll be upgraded.

Diamonds have a special "UberX Diamond" option in your app if you only want to be paired with highly rated drivers. Members also earn 6 points per dollar spent on the first five Uber Black and SUV trips they take plus double points on all Uber Eats orders. Diamond members also enjoy all the benefits of Gold and Platinum members.

Best cards for Uber

The Platinum Card® from American Express gives up to $200 in Uber Cash each year ($15 credit per month from January through November and $35 credit in December) for services in the U.S. This Uber Cash is added directly to your Uber Cash balance each month, plus you'll also get automatic Uber VIP status that matches you with highly rated drivers and luxurious cars. Note that enrollment is required for these perks.

Similarly, the American Express® Gold Card offers cardmembers up to $120 in annual Uber Cash ($10 credit per month) for use in the U.S. You must add your Amex Gold Card to your Uber account to receive this benefit. Enrollment is required.

Uber Rewards is an excellent opportunity to stack your earnings by using the right credit card. Here are some of the best cards to use when spending with Uber:

• Chase Sapphire Reserve: 3 Chase Ultimate Rewards points per dollar spent on Uber expenses, which code as travel on your statement.
• Chase Sapphire Preferred Card: 2 Chase Ultimate Rewards points per dollar spent on eligible travel purchases, including Uber rides.
• The Platinum Card from American Express: Up to $200 in Uber Cash to use annually.
• American Express Gold Card: Up to $120 in Uber Cash to use annually.
• American Express® Green Card: 3 Membership Rewards points per dollar spent on transit, including ride-hailing services like Uber.
• Blue Cash Preferred Card® from American Express: 3% cash back on transit, including ride-hailing services like Uber (cash back is received in the form of Reward Dollars that you can redeem for statement credits).
• Citi Double Cash® Card: 2% back on all purchases (1% back when you buy and 1% as you pay), including Uber purchases (see rates and fees).
• U.S. Bank Cash+® Visa Signature® Card : 5% cash back on your first $2,000 in combined eligible purchases each quarter on two categories you choose.
• Apple Card: 3% cash back on Uber and Uber Eats

The information for the American Express Green and Apple cards has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

By pairing Uber Rewards with the Chase Sapphire Reserve, you could be earning a 7.5% back on Uber Pool rides (1.5% with Uber Rewards plus 6% through Chase), 9% back on UberX and 10.5% back on Uber Black.

Bottom line

Uber's created a win-win scenario by allowing travelers to earn and redeem points across the entire Uber ecosystem; it makes it easier for riders to use points and creates an incentive to spend money solely with the company. Will people who use Uber a few times a month see a significant change in their experience by participating in the program? Probably not, but it's still much better than nothing. It's also nice that the rewards can be stacked with the points you earn through Uber's partnership with Marriott.

That said, some of the elite perks like priority support and priority queue at airports seem a bit gimmicky and don't feel like they'll change the overall rider experience too much. Even the Diamond "surprise upgrades" already happen — I've been matched with Uber Black cars when requesting an UberX as a nonelite since Uber gives these drivers the option to accept UberX trips. You'll get more tangible benefits with an Uber One membership , which offers perks like discounts on rides and unlimited waived delivery fees on Eats orders.

How 'Trip Of A Lifetime' To Mexico Turned Deadly For Travelers From U.S. And Australia

A uthorities have released more details about three travelers who went missing while on a surfing trip in Mexico. Australian brothers Jake Robinson, 30, and Callum Robinson, 33, and their American friend, Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, went missing during their surfing and camping trip near Ensenada, which the brothers' parents previously told CNN was meant to be “a trip of a lifetime."

They reportedly went to Coachella before heading to Mexico to surf, but authorities have now identified three bodies dumped into a well as belonging to the three travelers.

The travelers were last seen on April 27, and based on the initial investigation, officials believe the three travelers might've been killed during an attempted vehicle robbery on April 28 or 29.

During a press conference, chief state prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez said that the people who killed the travelers were probably trying to steal tires and other parts from the travelers' pickup truck, the Associated Press reported.

All three of the travelers were found with gunshot wounds. Though the killers reportedly attempted to destroy evidence, as per the Associated Press, police could tell something happened at that location when they arrived. The well that their bodies were found in was 4 miles from where they were killed, the BBC reported.

Prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez also said during a press conference that the killers did not seem to target tourists specifically, based on evidence. Andrade Ramírez said that evidence suggests the killers did not know where the victims were from, the AP reported.

Three people have been arrested because of suspected connections to the attack, according to the BBC. One of the men who was arrested as a suspect had a criminal history of drug dealing, vehicle theft and domestic violence, as per the AP.

Two of the suspects were also found with methamphetamines and one had one of the victims' cell phones, according to the AP.

Callum was based in California. His brother Jake, a doctor, traveled from Australia to California for "a trip of a lifetime," according to CNN. Their plan was to "to surf for a few days" after going to Coachella, their parents previously told the outlet.

Andrade Ramírez said that the families of the victims said the victims had traveled to the area before and didn't experience any issues, as per the AP.

In a statement previously shared with CNN, Callum and Jake's parents called the brothers "beautiful human beings."

Callum's girlfriend, Emily Horwath, wrote on social media that her "heart is shattered into a million pieces," Australian outlet 9 News reported.

"I don’t have the words right now... I will love you forever," she wrote on Instagram.

Callum previously played lacrosse at Stevenson University. He graduated in 2015. In a statement from Brett Adams , Director of Athletics at the university, Callum was referred to as "a stellar student, a stellar athlete, and an even better friend."

Men's Lacrosse Coach Paul Cantabene said Callum was "everyone's best friend and got along with everyone."

"We are all so thankful that he was a part of our lives. He lived an extraordinary life, but what is most impressive about Callum is what a loyal friend he was. Once you were his friend, you were friends for life," Paul said via the statement.

Things To Do

Things to do | make lifetime memories with these mother-daughter trip ideas, whether you are looking for relaxation or excitement, these are some of the best trips for moms and daughters..

Taking a trip together is the perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day, a birthday or graduation. It’s an opportunity to reconnect, create lasting memories and share new adventures. Whether you are looking for relaxation or excitement, these are some of the best trips for moms and daughters.

Planning the right type of trip for a mother-daughter vacation

When planning a mom-and-daughter vacation, the range of trip types makes it possible to plan travel that suits the two of you. Depart on an adventure to explore a new city, culture or activity together. Or opt for a relaxing trip if you are looking for a chance to unwind as you reconnect.

Book a mother-daughter cruise

A cruise is a great escape from daily life with a myriad of destinations to choose from. Cruising has been rising in popularity in recent years, with sales up more than 25% from 2023 to 2024, according to Insider Travel Report. This means more options for the experience you want.

With destinations around the world, mothers and daughters can embark on a Caribbean cruise , or explore the Mediterranean Sea. River cruises are another option for trips on beautiful rivers in the U.S. and Europe.

Onboard, mothers and daughters can enjoy poolside relaxation, spa treatments, brunch, afternoon drinks and shows, among many other activities. At ports of call, share new experiences as you explore towns and cities together. Many cruise lines offer guided excursions as well, such as tours of Caribbean islands or the historical sites of Europe.

Travel to a new city

Exploring new locations and cultures is one of the best ways to connect with others. By planning a city break trip, you can work together to choose an itinerary you will both enjoy. Consider taking a long weekend in Paris or Rome for a European getaway, or stay closer to home in New Orleans or New York City.

Be sure to consider both rest and adventure on a city break. “Most of my mother-daughter travelers want a well-rounded experience,” says Theresa Chu-Bermudez, travel advisor and founder of Get Out! Custom Travels . “For example, they would like to see the major sights while also taking time for relaxing at the spa and for shopping.”

Go on a mother-daughter adventure trip

Adventure travel is all about immersing yourself in local cultures, trying exciting activities and even getting out of your comfort zone on occasion. These trips can be highly active with experiences like trekking or biking, or more restful with a focus on wellness and local living. No matter what type of trip you plan, adventure travel will let you create lifetime memories together.

Traveling for adventure and immersion has become more popular in recent years, and over 75% of adventure travelers are women, as shown by data collected by Condor Ferries . Several companies offer adventure tours with pre-determined itineraries for easy planning, although you can also plan your own if you have more personalized activities in mind.

Top destinations for mothers and daughters

A mother-daughter trip is a great time to check off a bucket list destination, especially if you are celebrating an event like a birthday or graduation. You may instead want to escape to a location close to home for a long weekend and a chance to catch up.

Get away for a weekend in Charleston

Traveling within the U.S. is extremely popular, with 85% of travelers planning domestic vacations this spring, according to Vacasa . These can be simpler to coordinate, more affordable and better for quick trips. Of the many fantastic U.S. destinations, Charleston, South Carolina, is great for mothers and daughters.

Friendly, historic and thriving, Charleston is perfect for a weekend trip. Downtown Charleston is packed with restaurants, shopping, arts and cultural activities. When you are ready for a break from the city, head to the beautiful local beaches to relax by the ocean.

Travel to an island paradise in Aruba

If your ideal mother-daughter vacation includes sandy beaches and sparkling water, Aruba is a top-choice destination. This Caribbean island is warm and sunny year round, making for a luxurious escape.

Aruba has become an increasingly popular tourist destination, with travel there up 20% in 2024, as noted by Tourism Analytics. You have many resorts and activities to choose from on your trip. Spend time on Aruba’s many beaches, indulge in a champagne brunch boat ride, hike through the national park or relax with a spa treatment at one of the island’s resorts.

Experience culture together on a Greek Islands cruise

The islands of Greece boast stunning scenery and beaches, as well as history, culture and food at every stop. Embracing a new culture together can be a great way to learn more about each other and strengthen the mother-daughter bond.

In recalling a recent trip to Greece with her mother, Chu-Bermudez says, “Exploring new ports together in the Aegean via a small ship made it stress-free and allowed us to really enjoy the trip. One of my favorite parts of traveling with my mom is seeing different sides of her. When we were docked outside of Nafplion in Greece, she got up and started dancing with the traditional Greek dancers who had come on board!”

Planning an itinerary of mother-daughter vacation activities

Taking a mother-daughter vacation is a great time to enjoy the activities you both like and to share new experiences. If you are planning the trip as a gift to your mother or daughter, be sure to include some of her favorite activities.

Depending on your destination, some of the best itineraries for a mother-and-daughter trip include exploring a city’s museums, shopping and restaurants. Walking tours, boat tours, food tours and other organized tours let you see the city with minimal planning.

If you want adventure in nature, local parks often have opportunities for hiking, biking, sailing, ziplining and more. On the other hand, add some time for relaxing together by scheduling a spa day or beach day.

Get away on a mother-daughter vacation this year

Whether you are looking for a Mother’s Day present, celebrating your daughter’s birthday or simply want to make lifelong memories, plan a mom-and-daughter vacation this year. From a cruise in the Caribbean to a cultural trip in Europe to a weekend getaway in a vibrant U.S. city, a mother-daughter trip is an unbeatable way to spend time together while enjoying a vacation.

Introducing flat rates, a new way to earn

Uber is piloting flat rates, a new way to earn on Uber Eats offering set hourly rates. If delivering, you may now have the option to earn based on hourly rates.

How flat rates work

Opt-in to a flat rate opportunity: Check the Opportunity Center for available upcoming flat rate periods. If there are periods available, you can opt-in to specific times and at set rates for a future period.

Begin your flat rate period: Whether you’re already online or when you go online during the set period, you’ll start receiving offers at the set hourly rate. In order to maintain the flat rate, you can decline or cancel one offer per hour. If you cancel more than one offer, your flat rate period will automatically end. You will be able to resume accepting standard Uber Eats offers if your flat rate period ends.

How flat rate earnings work: Your earnings will be based on “Active hr” which means the hourly rate will be applied towards the portion of an hour that a trip takes from acceptance to completion. You will also keep any applicable promotions and 100% of customer tips. Example: A trip that takes 30 minutes from acceptance to completion, at a $20/active hour rate, means $10 earned + tips & promos. Note: The estimated earnings you see for an offer are based on how long we think the trip will take.  Your actual earnings may be higher or lower depending on how long the trip ultimately takes.

Why are we piloting flat rates?

Flat rates provide you with upfront information on earning potential for specific time periods. The flat rate option provides more earning choices and is available for a limited time. Flat rates may not be available in all locations or for all couriers at this time. Keep an eye out for any potential flat rate spots in the Opportunity Center in your Driver app.

What time counts towards the set flat rate?

Your earnings during the flat rate period will be based on the hourly rate and calculated based on the portion of time spent on each delivery, from acceptance to completion.  This includes wait time at merchants and time in between batched trip deliveries. 

What about tips?

You will receive 100% of customer tips and any applicable promotions.

Are there any other terms or conditions that I should know about?

Uber may modify or end the flat rate offering at any time. Access to flat rates is not guaranteed and may be revoked.  Uber’s other policies and terms continue to apply to the flat rate offering, including for example Uber’s Community Guidelines and your Platform Access Agreement. Uber reserves the right to delay payment for purposes of investigation and to withhold payment or deactivate account(s) if Uber determines in its sole discretion that a person has used or attempted to use flat rates mode in a fraudulent or abusive manner, or in violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Can I reject or ignore offers when using flat rates?

If you reject 2 or more trips within an hour, your flat rate ends. You can still accept standard Uber Eats offers. Declining or canceling more than one offer within a 60 minute window will result in your flat rate period being automatically ended. Once you exit a flat rate slot, you cannot return to that same slot. However, you can visit the Opportunity Center to opt-in to available future flat rate slots.

What happens if an eater or merchant cancels a delivery?

The same payment and cancellation terms apply to flat rate periods as to standard offers.  For example, if an eater or merchant cancels a delivery, you will generally be paid for your full time on trip if you’ve already picked up the order. See Uber’s full terms for more information.

However, the cancellation will not count towards your cancellation rate and will not impact your use of flat rates mode.

Can I go offline during the 3 hour time period?

Going offline ends your flat rate period. If your flat rate period ends, you are free to continue receiving standard Uber Eats offers.

Grocery delivery company Instacart is partnering with Uber Eats to offer a new perk to its customers: restaurant delivery .

San Francisco-based Instacart said Tuesday that its U.S. shoppers will see a “Restaurants” tab in the company’s app in the coming weeks. Restaurant orders will be delivered by Uber Eats drivers.

Instacart said its Instacart Plus members – who pay $99 per year or $9.99 per month for free grocery deliveries over $35 – will also get free restaurant delivery for orders over $35. Regular Instacart members will be charged Uber Eats delivery fees.

Instacart said it will earn an affiliate fee with every order, but it didn’t reveal any other financial details of the partnership.

Instacart said most Americans shop for groceries — either online or in a store — at least once per week. But more than one-third also order takeout or delivery at least once a week, and it wants to help them meet that need as well.

The deal will give Instacart customers more benefits in the competitive grocery delivery market. Instacart currently controls around 25% of that market in the U.S., behind Walmart at 51%, according to YipitData, a market research company.

Other delivery companies, including DoorDash and Uber Eats itself, also have a small but growing share of that market.

Uber Eats said the deal with Instacart would drive more customers to its restaurant partners, especially in the suburban neighborhoods where the grocery delivery company has the most users.

In documents filed ahead of its initial public offering last summer, Instacart said it had 7.7 million monthly active users. The companies didn't say how many of those customers are also Uber Eats users.

How surfing ‘trip of a lifetime’ to mexico turned deadly for aussie lacrosse star, his brother and a pal.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

It was meant to be the “trip of a lifetime” — partying at Coachella and then surfing and camping along the gorgeous Pacific coast of Baja California, Mexico.

Callum Robinson, 33, an Australian former college lacrosse star with chiseled abs and a flowing mane of hair worthy of Chris Hemsworth, was met by his little brother, Jake, 30, who flew in from the Land Down Under.

His pal Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, an apparel designer in San Diego, also tagged along.

But their made-for-social-media journey appears to have ended in tragedy. Mexican authorities believe their bodies are the ones pulled the bottom of a 50-foot well in a remote part of the Mexican state.

Police believe the three were carjacked — and then summarily executed.

Three suspects are in custody — a local man, his girlfriend and his brother.

All three allegedly had meth on them, and the woman was carrying a cellphone belonging to one of the victims, according to local media reports.

The Robinsons and Rhoad were reported missing last Saturday after they failed to arrive at their Airbnb in Rosarito, a beach city about 15 miles from the US border.

They were believed to have been camping at popular surf spot La Bocana in the Mexican countryside, some 130 miles south of San Diego.

The state prosecutor told Australia’s 7News that there’s evidence that the three men resisted their attackers, and that’s what led to their murders.

“When they tried to get the vehicle, the victims opposed the robbery, the robbers were armed with a firearm and apparently shot the victims,” Baja California’s chief prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez  told the outlet.

Investigators had originally suspected foul play upon finding abandoned tents in the area, the attorney general of Baja California  said Thursday.

They also found a burned white pickup truck — similar to the white Chevrolet Colorado the men were driving, according to a missing persons poster.

Mexican officials have not officially confirmed that the three bodies are Rhoad and the Robinson brothers, but said there was a “high degree of probability” that they were executed.

Multiple sources confirmed their identities to Reuters this week, however.

Callum Robinson moved to the US in 2013 to pursue a lacrosse career, in which he played for Stevenson University and later won the NCAA’s Division III lacrosse championship.

Robinson’s alma mater paid tribute to its standout star, who started in 65 of the 66 games he appeared in from 2013 to 2015.

“It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our dear teammate and friend, Callum Robinson,” the team announced on Facebook. “From his days leading us to victory on the field to his unwavering commitment to academic excellence, Callum was a true inspiration to us all.”

The Maryland-based school remembered Callum Robinson for “his infectious spirit and larger-than-life personality.”

“With his beautiful long hair and charming smile, he truly embodied the nickname ‘big koala’ — warm, friendly, and always there to lend a helping hand,” the school said.

“Though he may be gone, Callum’s legacy will live on in our hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Rest easy, Callum. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.”

Following his collegiate career, Callum was drafted by the Chesapeake Bayhawks as the 27th overall pick in the 2015 draft for the now-defunct Major League Lacrosse.

He went on to play for Australia’s Men’s National Team and joined the Professional Lacrosse League , where he started 11 games for Atlas LC and even traveled with the team for the 2019 championship series in Utah.

Jake Robinson, who was set to start a new position at a hospital in Geelong, Victoria, Australia, was remembered by his parents as a “gentle soul.”

Three Mexican nationals — Jesús Gerardo Garcia Cota, alias El Kekas, his partner Ari Gisel García Cota, and Jesus’ brother Cristian Alejandro Garcia — were arrested in connection to the disappearance, but haven’t been charged with murder.

“It should be noted that the rapid intervention of the [police] allowed three people to be under investigation, and currently an arrest warrant was obtained before the criminal courts of the State Superior Court of Justice for the crime of forced disappearance of people,” the Baja California state attorney general said in a statement.

The attorney general’s office said it was working with the FBI and the US and Australian consulates.

A fourth body was found in the well where the three missing surfers were discovered. Authorities believe it is the decomposed remains of a rancher who owned the property, who was reported missing two weeks earlier.

Utah cat with a fondness for cardboard takes surprise trip to California in an Amazon box

Galena, a 6-year-old house cat from Utah, likes hiding and playing with cardboard. Earlier this month, the combination of the two made for a stressful trip in an Amazon package, a feverish search, a California rescue and a tearful reunion.

Galena, a 6-year-old house cat from Utah, likes hiding and playing with cardboard.

Earlier this month, the combination of the two made for a stressful trip in an Amazon package, a feverish search, a California rescue and a tearful reunion.

Her family is still waiting to “reintroduce cardboard to her again,” owner Carrie Clark said Tuesday, because they don’t want to stress her out.

Clark got Galena as a kitten after her aunt rescued a pregnant feral cat. The American short hair with calico and Siamese coloring has been a constant companion and source of emotional support.

“I’ve been through a bunch of health things and she and I have gone through all of that together. And she’s she just has this extra great part about her personality that’s very loving. And she can tell when you don’t feel well,” Clark said. “And she’s just really, really special to me.”

So when Galena disappeared on April 10, Clark was beside herself.

They searched the neighborhood, put up flyers and posted notices on Facebook lost pet pages in Lehi, Utah.

“Not knowing what had happened to her was pretty excruciating,” Clark said, “I cried my eyes out for seven days trying to figure out what had happened.” Clark also ran through all the worst-case scenarios, wondering if the cat could have gotten out of the house and been nabbed by a predator or run over by a vehicle.

Clark said she received a “text that changed my life” on April 17, saying that Galena’s microchip had been scanned, so Clark knew she had been found somewhere. Soon after, she got a call saying her cat was near Riverside, California, after being found in a box along with steel-toed boots that had been returned to an Amazon warehouse.

Clark’s husband had ordered several pairs of boots, kept one and returned the rest in a large box on April 10.

“We realized that that our sweet kitty must have jumped into that box without us knowing,” she said.

Amazon employees knew just who to call when they found the feline — co-worker Brandy Hunter, who rescues cats, Clark said.

Hunter took the cat home and to the vet the next day, where the microchip was scanned.

Clark spoke with Hunter who “calmed me down and told me that my kitty was OK,” despite having spent six days in a cardboard box without food or water.

“I wanted desperately to be with her,” Clark said. She and her husband flew to California the next day, reunited with Galena at the veterinarian’s office and rented a car to drive home.

“We did what we needed to do because I just adore her,” Clark said.

It was an intensely emotional week.

“I went from hysterically laughing that she was stuck like that — we mailed our cat — you know ... just the humor part of that, to hysterically crying all within like five seconds,” Clark said.

The family was lucky to get Galena back, Clark said, in part because the weather was not harsh during the time the cat was missing, the box was torn at a seam, allowing her to get more air, and because Hunter who took her to a vet and had her scanned for a microchip.

Since word got out, Clark has been sharing her cat’s story, with advice to microchip your pets and to double-check your Amazon boxes before returning them.

Galena is a quiet cat, Clark said.

“She didn’t meow,” Clark said. “We would have loved for her to meow so we knew that she was,” in the box.
