Here's to hoping my inquiries somehow magically disappear. I use uber a lot and was actually just googling cards this past week that offer uber perks. I'll wait to see how this card actually works, but I'm very interested.

Just spent 20 minutes trying to find my rating and I have no idea how. How do I find that? Either way I really hope this card has some good perks. I'm thinking probably something like $100 in uber rides after you spend $500. Not the best, but it'll do. And then 3x back on uber rides. Nothing special, but it'll add up. Any thoughts?

thats strange. it should show your rating right under your name in the uber app now.

otherwise I think theres another way, you might have to search how to online. I think its in the help/account options then click see rating or something.

Intereting for sure.. As I user Uber/Lyft alot.. Be interesting to see more about this card when details are released.. a 100 dollar sign-up bonus wouldn't get me to jump on this card, now 5-10% off or something would.

Goto the menu and you are right it is right under your name.. Mine is 4.77... Not great and not awful, had one bad experience that dinged my rating as surely he gave me the lowest as friend got sick in his car after a night on the town although we tipped him huge for the problem. This is why I kinda use lyft more know as still embarrased

I just had to update the app. 4.86. And yes 5-10% off would be great. A few years ago Capital One had a deal with uber that gave 20% off if you used their card. 20% is a lot and I'd settle for something lower cause it would still be a nice benefit of using the card.

4.83...which does seem a bit low for not having any vomit-type experiences out of maybe 20 trips.

I can think of one time when spotty GPS and a lack of familiarity with the area led to my waiting on the wrong side of the street. I was originally in the correct (and most natural) pickup spot but thought Uber wanted me in a weird place...and it took a few minutes to get a crosswalk signal to get back over. I actually got a $0.09 Wait Time fee. Maybe that's just enough to irritate the driver without actually making the wait worthwhile.

How does the passenger rating actually affect the customer experience? Do some drivers reject ride requests from low-rated passengers? As a consumer, I can't choose (as far as I know) between a 3.5 and a 4.8 driver. I just get what I get, so I don't really see how the ratings matter. I assumed it was the same for drivers.

I'm not thrilled about the "trickle" nature of the Platinum benefit, but it's worth another $100 to me as long as I can use it for Eats.

I don't think it matters for the passenger as much as it does for the driver. For the driver i believe they have to keep a certain rating up or they can be suspended from working with uber. For the passenger, there's really no affect, you'll get a ride regardless. I did hear sometimes a picky driver may cancel and void accepting a passenger with a low rating, but even so that passenger will get scooped from another Uber the next minute anyway.

As a consumer, if you have the amex platinum youre automatic a VIP status in uber, if you city has that option I believe they give you a top rated driver to pick you up. May be a longer wait though.

I am a heavy uber user myself (I should be close to 300 rides at this point) and I am at 4.98. I am sure the fact that I always tipped has helped my rating.

This really doesn't seem like an appealing card if that's all that it has to offer. I also try my best to avoid co-branded credit cards because they always seem to nullify my existing cards. For example, if I were to get this card, then that's one less place for me to use my Sapphire Reserve, for example. My two co-branded cards atm are the Amex SPG and Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve; the former I consider a rather versatile card since the points are actually transferrable to airlines and not forcibly contained within the SPG program, and the latter I got because it's going away and can downgrade to some other Citi card.

I rather use Chase/Synchrony Amazon cards to purchase uber credit when Discover/Chase aren't offering 5%.

Drivers are less likely to drop you because of your rating...those drivers are dinged for denying/cancelling a pickup. The challenge is when the rider is low-rated, then there may be some challenge by the app to match that person with a driver.
