See our list of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/best-credit-card-offers\/\" rel=\"noopener\">top credit card offers here<\/a>. For historical reference, here's what the card offered:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Uber has updated its Barclaycard co-brand credit card, the <b>Uber Visa Card<\/b>. Where the previous version of the card was a powerhouse no annual fee card earning 4% cash back on dining, the card now earns Uber Cash, gutting much of the value this card had to offer. The <b>Uber Visa Card<\/b> retains its cell phone protection benefits, and doesn't charge any foreign transaction fees, but you would need to be a diehard Uber fan to apply for the updated <b>Uber Card<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Uber_Visa_Card_Key_Features\"><b>Uber Visa Card<\/b> Key Features<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>No annual fee<\/li>\n<li>Earn 5% Uber Cash on Uber and Uber Eats<\/li>\n<li>Earn 3% Uber Cash on hotels, airfare, and restaurant purchases<\/li>\n<li>Earn 1% on all other purchases<\/li>\n<li>No foreign transaction fees<\/li>\n<li>Earn $100 Uber Cash after spending $500 on purchases in the first 90 days<\/li>\n<li>Cell phone protection, up to $600 per eligible claim<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the card offered a genuine 5% back on Uber it would be a lot more attractive, particularly as it includes Uber Eats purchases. However, the updated <b>Uber Card<\/b> earns Uber Cash which you can only redeem for more Uber purchases. Likewise, 3% back on travel and restaurants would be considered a top return for a no annual fee card if it were straight cash back, but 3% Uber Cash is much less attractive. Essentially, the only people I could see applying for this card are diehard Uber fans that don't use other rideshare apps.<\/p>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"1024\/296\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-44174 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-20-at-4.07.25-pm-1024x296.png\" alt=\"Uber Visa Card Earning Rates\" width=\"1024\" height=\"296\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-20-at-4.07.25-pm-1024x296.png 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-20-at-4.07.25-pm-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-20-at-4.07.25-pm.png 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Overall\">Overall<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Following the revamp of the <b>Uber Card<\/b>, the only redeeming features are the cell phone insurance and the fact the card charges no foreign transaction fees.
