My daughter uses my monthly Uber credit, but charges all rides to her own Visa card, so she wouldn't notice the increase.
These are different phones (iphone and android) logged in to 2 different uber accounts with different cards linked requesting the exact same trip.

That's exactly what I did. The double cash linked uber account has no trace of amex plat.

The issue with this is... uber would still (or should) know about the linked amex even if you are not using it to pay. Would this affect the algorithm.
