Barclays Uber Credit Card Being Discontinued

In late 2017 we saw Barclays and Uber introduce a new co-brand credit card. Then in late 2019 we saw major changes made to the card. Now, not even two years later, the Uber Credit Card is being discontinued — not only is the card closed to new applicants, but even existing cardmembers will now…

This article and a declined payment on Uber Eats is how I found out. I don't use this as much right now. Automatically convert me to a different (and worse) card I never agreed to sign up for? Wow. Thanks. I'm not ever going to purposely do buisness with Barclays in the future, that's for sure. And yeah I have money in rewards that I don't seem to be able to access. They "converted it" which means I can only redeem it for the silly new things they let me, and statement credit is only once I reach a minimum high threshold. Wow. Thanks for breaking things down in the article. I had no idea what had happened.

On my newly converted Barclays View account, it's showing 0% foreign transaction fee.

I ended up submitting a CFPB complaint due to the fact that Barclays is discontinuing a product yet it is not offering any ways to "cash out" earned rewards leftover in the account. I was told that if I close my account before it converts that I will lose out on my rewards. The only "way" to get my earned rewards was to wait for the product change. Obviously I don't like the product I am being forced to switching - so it feels unethical they want us to forego earned rewards.

Honestly stopped using the card when they hacked the rewards in 2019. It went to the back of the wallet. I originally got the card because I was allowed to migrate my Apple Rewards card through a limit transfer. The original rewards worked for my spending habits. Heck, I got enough rewards to get a free couch from Crate and Barrel. I currently have over $300 in Uber credits sitting on the card that are worthless to me. I only use Uber when I travel and typically use my company card in those situations. I also don’t use Uber Eats. I hated the last change and called Barclays every 6 months about a product change and lit them up on Facebook. While the new rewards are not as good as the original at least I can actually use them. I could also care less about foreign transaction fees.

Barclays site shows "N/A" for foreign transaction fees. https://www.creditcardinsider.com/credit-cards/barclays/barclays-view-mastercard/ Are your sure the Barclays View card has foreign transaction fees?

I seem to recall that the main use for the Uber Visa’s initial hi reward rate on dining was to build data on where cardholders were dining in order to best target the rollout of Uber eats using popular restaurants. After they got the data they needed they dropped the rewards rate and switched the bonus back to Uber rides. Now that they have Uber cash and an in house rewards program, there’s no use for the card and that is likely why it’s being dropped. Always remember, nothing is free, and you are the product!

First to get things straight, I don't think Uber or many of these tech companies are being ethical about the "gig economy" But like other jobs, you have a choice (like choose not to work for Uber) to work under their terms. What really is broken isn't the company but the system. The tipping system is broken. How about a real fair wage and no tips. And I feel sorry that you got cheated. But here's the thing, they settled, you get paid, but the next person still works for them. Justice wasn't served. Don't go hate these companies or their products, go hate your State or regulators. People will jump red lights if no cameras are there (can't fix people) It the lack of authorities that can be fixed. Now back to your negative energy towards self driving car. Why don't you tell me how many idiots take naps in their fancy self driving Tesla’s and end up crashing at 80 mph? And while you're at it, how many idiots not in a Tesla take naps and end up crashing at 80 mph? Like I said, I trust Skynet more than my Uber driver. That says a lot.

To clarify I mean the whole “Gig economy” which some ppl informally refer to as sharing. Nice assumption but I never did Uber, I use to deliver groceries for Instacart. I was awarded $3400 in a class action lawsuit against the company after it was proven to engage in wage theft and would keep some of our tips for themselves. Tips are never expected and it’s understood that they sometimes change. This is a totally different issue— Instacart was stealing from the driver’s and deceiving the customers by taking our tips for themselves! Google “Instacart class action lawsuit” it’s right there
