Update 9/16/24: TPG writes: “Note that you can use any Amex card as your payment method in order to use your Uber Cash — not just the card that carries the benefit. This means that if you have the American Express Green Card, for instance, you can use it to earn 3 points per dollar on your Uber ride.” Presumably they confirmed this with an AmEx or Uber contact.
Original Post 9/12/24:Â
AmEx is sending notification on the statements that the cards which come with a $10/$15/$25 Uber credit will require putting the balance of the Uber ride/meal on an AmEx card in order to use the credit.
Previously it was just a credit to your Uber account, and you could pay the balance with any card you choose. Beginning November 8, 2024, you’ll have to select the AmEx card as the payment option for the balance to cover the overage above the $10/$15 credit amount.
Hopefully it’ll still be possible to use multiple Uber credits on one ride/order when paying with an Amex card for the balance. We’ll see. Hopefully you can still use your Uber gift card balance for the ride and have the Amex card as the backup payment method (?).
