Uber Credit Card...

Lyft will join AmEx?



Starting November 2, Uber will give users the option to get the card right in its app, and will populate all of the information they have on file for their customers into the application.

Useless article. Didn't even answer everyone's main concern: will it be a metal card?

No forex and phone insurance, pretty good for a no-fee card. The 2% back on Uber and 4% on eats is useless though, still much cheaper to pay w Uber GCs.

If this is Chip + Pin, could be nice to have for travels being that it's FX free.

Conspiracy theory:
Uber's algorithm inflates fares on accounts with high GC balance.
Risk is opportunity

For all of you who would get this special for the FX fees, just use any capital one card or even amazon card from chase.(which I don't think counts towards 5/24)
 Or this for the $100 bonus..

Worth getting now to possibly grandfather any benefits/earning ratios that may be watered down later?

Not that I believe it's true but my prices went way up once I had a high GC balance. Merely coincidental.

Although, uber is  (or supposedly "was") known for their uber-shady business practices and algorithms.

Try to compare your price quote to a wife/friend using the origin and destination. Maybe we can blow this whole conspiracy wide open

I have the Uber credit card and used it to book a "home share" through VRBO/Homeaway. I expected to get 3 points per dollar for this purchase. However, when the charge went through it was classified under "REAL ESTATE AGENTS AND MGRS-RENTALS". The card member agreement says;

Quote
'You earn 3% Back/3 Points ($0.03) for every $1.00 spent on Net Purchases on airfare, hotels and vacation rentals (including travel agencies and home share exchanges), as defined by merchant category codes (“Travel Purchases”).'

Is there any way to dispute the way the purchase was categorized?

CapitalOne gives the worst exchange rate.  Better with AMEX, Chase etc.
