I don't need Uber where I live, and we don't have Uber Eats here.
I picked up on this trick last year and it worked until this January. However since then it does not seem to work as it debits my card not the Amex credit.
It maybe that you need to use up your existing Uber credits balance before it works again.
If anyone has recent data points of this working this year (and if so how) that would be helpful
