if anyone could share insight on above would be much appreciated, also wondering if other delivery carriers might be included in 3x as i know its 3x on all travel, or rides in general etc.. thanks

You should be able to (at least I can) buy Uber Cash for 5% off ($100 credit for $95 purchase price) through the Uber app, then use the Uber Cash towards either rides or Eats orders.

since that one is also a either or as well, you think that would code as 3x?

thanks for input

I got 3x with CSR on Cash, rides, and Eats...all coded as "travel"...but I don't have a Green.

In the other thread where you asked this very recently, you also expressed an interest in redeeming MRs via Schwab at 1.25 cpp. It sounds like you're not trying to be a wizard with MRs and get 4, 7, 10 cents per point or whatever crazy value with premium airfare redemptions.

So what I want to emphasize is that if you spend a significant amount on Eats, you should be focused on getting the best card for Uber Cash reloads (or finding some way to buy gift cards at a discount) and not worry about how Eats codes. Saving 5% cash (or more through some other route) will help you more than potentially earning an extra 1x or 2x MRs.

i have a vanilla plat now, i was trying to justify a downgrade to the cheapest AF card while retaining tradeline so that i can pick up the schwab and not have two Plat cards

i will be looking for those 5-10 CPP values for sure, its really for business/first class fliers and im someone who doesn’t mind economy/“premium” economy as they put it this is more so if after the research i put in to that route of redemption doesn’t pan out, i have a fall back 1.25 CPP cash deposit

Can’t confirm, but I’d imagine Uber Eats would get 3x on the Green under the dining category. I have the gold and all delivery services earn 4x, so imagine Green would be the same in terms of what counts and what doesn’t

game changer, you’re confirming GOLD food delivery is included with 4x? no way.. i thought that was just dine-in only charges and supermarkets

Gold does include at least GrubHub/Seamless as dining but UberEats codes as travel and only earns 1 point per dollar. Never tested DoorDash but I’d guess it should earn the dining bonus
