EDIT - another issue is that Lyft and Uber often change the availability of these passes.

For daily Uber/Lyft users, this was always a no brainer, but it probably got too expensive for Uber as they try to actually make money
Yeah I use a ride share service maybe a half dozen times a year - basically if I'm on vacation without a rental car and need to get somewhere outside walking distance that I can't get to through public transit or if I'm going out for the night and don't have a DD. So a monthly credit is almost entirely worthless for me. A yearly credit like they are doing for DoorDash is slightly better since I do use meal delivery once every month or two so at least but I'd rather just not have pay an extra $100 just to maybe get $100 in benefits back.

I view the DoorDash subscription thing the same way I do the Shoprunner subscription I get from AmEx... it's fine and I'll sign up for it but I don't attach a value to it because it isn't anything I ever would have spent a single dollar on if it wasn't complementary with the card.
