Capital One just made me $30!

If you live in a big city it very well might not be just car payment and insurance.
In Chicago I paid $250 for parking at my apartment.
If I had to drive and pay for parking at work too who knows!!
I know many in CA that use Uber and Lyft full time 2-4x a day... For some it makes more sense to spend $500-$600 to not own anything, not drive anything, and not have the stress of parking and what not!
We never drive to go to dinner, parties, etc anymore

is the 2x mr points for uber on amex true? I wanna activate that now.

[Creditaddict]

Yes, any personal Amex I believe that earns mr points just bill charges to account, no signing up

[zerbherb]

That's not bad 71$ from Teaneck to jfk

Sure, you could look at it that way, but I tend to separate it from traditional cash back as it is continent on spending x dollars, whereas your cash back is there whether you spend 1 dollar or 1000 dollars. And if we're getting anal about it, 100 sign up bonus would actually be 21.5% cash back in addition to the 1.5 base.

I know we all know now about the Uber/Capital One QS partnership, but just wanted to share some of the rewards. I use Uber A LOT so I was very excited about the promotion. Logged in today to see this—basically $30 in free money!

You REALLY need a car. At some point you are going to be spending more on Uber per month than a car payment + insurance.

Can you hear me laughing? I live in Manhattan. It would be virtually impossible for me to spend more on Ubers than I would on a car payment, insurance, and parking in NYC.

(Although, FWIW, most of these charges were in London over the course of a week, not all on May 7.)

Ok. Don't really need it to be free but want the 20% per ride so want to sign up before that expires.
