My thoughts exactly - why not 10% off on Uber rides, or automatic Uber status (for example the 100 rides level)?
I guess it's a brand people know. But that brand, while it has plenty of strong supporters, also has lots of detractors. So you kind of wonder why the card is branded at all. For a no-fee card though those do seem like decent benefits. I wonder a little bit about the redemption though. Why not just automatically provide a statement credit every month?
The annual $50 credit can also be used to pay for Amazon Prime which many people may find very attractive.
Sounds like a good card. Definitely geared for millineals with the no fee, no foreign transaction fees, "exclusive" events, and travel/dining bonus categories. Agree this should've Come with VIP status similar to the Amex Platinum partnership...which also will be interesting to monitor to see if they continue / change that partnership
I rather use Lyft than uber, so I wonder if the 2% back on online purchases, including Lyft?
Kind of odd to only offer 2% on Uber rides with 2 other higher earning categories.
Is it a true chip and pin card? Would be a great card for that reason alone given it's free and had to foreign transaction fees.
It's not really "no foreign transaction fee" card as the terms & conditions state that foreign transaction fee is "0% of each transaction in U.S. Dollars". So. transactions in foreign currencies carry some fee, the rate of which is not clear
Hmm, I'm curious about the cell phone protection. Since it says it applies when the incident is "not otherwise covered by another insurance policy", does that mean that if my homeowner's insurance theoretically covers it, then the credit card's policy does not apply? I guess we'll see when the full T&C come out.
Actually, I don't think this card is as good as it sounds. Let's compare it to redeeming points on the JPMorgan Reserve credit card. While you get 3 points per dollar on travel and dining and one point on everything else, you get a 50% bonus when you redeem for travel, so it seems there's a higher value there.
Iamhere agreed, and if you transfer points to airlines vs. using the portal to get tickets, 3 miles is a lot more than 3 cents- at least for me they are a bare minimum of 0.02 ea and often 0.04 or more.
Stack Visa Local Offers onto your restaurant spend and the Uber credits you rack up can soar.. in NYC it’s not uncommon to see 10% Visa Local Offers on dining.
Wow, great news for all of us. Yes, Uber Visa Card offers many rewards like gift cards or cash back, include an annual $50 subscription credit that can be used on services like Netflix, Spotify or Amazon Prime. In addition, cardholders also get coverage for mobile phone theft or damage, no foreign transaction fees and will receive invites to exclusive events like secret shows and dining experiences.
