Capital One Quicksilver Uber 20% replacement?
The Capital One Quicksilver Uber 20% off promo ends in April. I've saved thousands of dollars with this promo. Does anyone know if Uber will be re-partnering with Capital one or a different card issuer?

It's not a discount but Uber has an arrangement with Amex to give 2x MR points for registered cards. I've done quite well with this.

I hope they re-partner, but I doubt it. 20% is an insanely great discount for such a common expense. I'm going to miss all of those little green refunds all over my CapOne account.
Unless something better is announced, I'll probably switch to Citi ThankYou Premier for 3x, at least when Freedom doesn't have a 5% back on rotating categories for transportation. The partnership with SPG might be valuable to add on as well while the program is still alive.

Maybe. At the same time this probably got C1 a bunch of customers from a segment they don't usually get so... Probably worth it.
I even opened up a 360 Savings account and put a large chunk of money in it. I probably would have never even considered them if not for the Uber promo.

How long does it take for the 20% credit to show up? I see one Uber charge that took five days for the 20% credit to show up. As for the rest of my Uber charges, it has been more than ten days and still no credit so far.

Looking at my account, it looks like they credit me every 7 days.

Last day
I think I was getting 20% off Uber eats too which was great..
With the 20% off I looked past surge pricing more than I normally would and took it on some long interstate rides in place of taking a train/public transport. Now I am going to have to think twice :/

Yeah, I'm thinking about it... I mean if it were the 20% back one it'd be a no brainer to go for a quicksilver. This promo is less generous, yet better than nothing. I'm just thinking I can probably get a better bonus than what this card offers on something else.
Does the quicksilver allow you to change the photo on the card? I knew cap one did that kinda thing. Do they have photo restrictions?

I read somewhere that you can "hold" the 10th $15 free ride for when you want it. For example, if your 10th ride is $5, you can save the $15 credit until your next more expensive trip.
