Suggested my daughter apply for this card. Is the only way to do this now via the app? When I got the card a while back, I could apply online.

Correct. The link option was disabled not long ago. So, the Uber app is the current method.

ETA - in case your daughter may experience any issues with the option to apply via the Uber app, below is the thread that discusses how to trigger it:

I got mine when I could apply online, but I'm guessing they want customers who actually use Uber regularly (which I don't).

Thanks. Neither of us were able to get it to work after adding a payment method, so unless we have luck soon, I guess she will do without!
