Yes, but it's not the same. You have to be using Uber regularly if you want to get the value, you have to fly regularly if you want your credit back. It's much harder to use, I think the reason is to target people who have a higher income level to do this regularly. With the CSR, if you can only afford one trip a year (even if it's just a roadtrip and staying at an AirBnB) you get it back.
