I like the Uber $15 ($20 in December) they credit to Uber Cash.  I just use it when I buy something from Uber Eats.  I think they accumulate, so I think you don't have to use it every month.  There's another $185 per year.


$15 in 11 months = $165

$15 + $20 more than usual = $35 in December

$200 total

 

I've already added my vanilla Platinum to Uber and have a new $15 after already using the first $15 this month from Schwab...looking forward to $70 next month.

 

I'd love it if I'm wrong, but last I checked, the credits DO expire at the end of each calendar month.

Guess I will set up an Uber account and link the card to it. We never use Eats although it is available here. I see 200 good reasons to try it out though Smiley Happy

 

Thank you @Remedios and @mrcraft Smiley Happy

Congrats on the approval! That's a heavy card to have in the wallet. I always loved it for the airport lounges when I traveled frequently. It's definitely worth the AF if you use it for all it has to offer...and your SUB is great, too!

It really does offer a lot. Long as covid doesn't kill it (and that's a big If), my daughter will be headed to Italy in late spring. We had lunch together today and I was showing her some of the lounges she could kill time in with her AU card while the rest of the kids are in the concourse Smiley Happy

If she's going with any of her friends, it might be good to point out which lounges allow 1-2 free guests.

Oh I will. If the trip happens, we'll go through all of the details. She's genuinely interested in credit these days. She's seen what it has allowed us to do, and I have given an "intro to credit" presentation for the seniors at her high school this year and last. They've all been surprisingly interested and attentive. It's great to see it too - it's one of the most important factors of adult life that gets virtually no attention in school. Because of that, and the way I have her use specific AU cards for purchases due to earnings or statement dates, she's seen that paying attention really matters and she's all about earning perks. She can't wait to continue Smiley Happy
