The best credit card for Uber
At Uber, American Express Classic Green Card earns the most: $6.00 per $100.
Uber rings up as rideshare & taxis — Uber Eats orders code as dining instead.
The short version
- Use: American Express Classic Green Card, if you carry it.
- Why Uber has its own page: the ranking is the same as for Uber and Lyft in general — it is here because people ask by name.

Before you pay
A shopping portal and a card-linked offer can both pay on top of whichever card you use here — and the portal has to be started before you shop. How the three stack, and in what order.
