Barclays has sent out a letter to Uber cardholders stating that the card will be discontinued on October 22, 2021. Cardholders will be product changed to the Barclays View card that offers the following earning rate:
- 3x points per $1 spent on Dining
- 2x points per $1 spent on streaming, internet, phone & TV
- 2x points per $1 spent on grocery
- 1x points per $1 spent on all other purchases
Uber cardholders will lose cell phone insurance and no foreign transaction fees as well. Barclays has been consolidating other cobranded cards into the View card as well (Barclays with Apple Rewards & Barclays Financing). It’s unclear if Uber will partner with another card issuer or exit the co-branded marketplace.
