I ended up using Lyft, but it also has multiple cards ending in 1000, it was impossible to tell them apart and I had to delete both and add the right one back.

Very frustrating. Comes up again and again.
And if all of your cards had the last 5 digits being the same? Would you not be back in the same position? The last 4 digits shown is to protect your payment credentials by reducing the risk of a bad actor getting a hold of your data. You need to adopt a better way of identifying your cards as you are the one frustrating yourself.

FYI: when you add payment credentials to Uber, you can give them a nick name. I have two cards in Uber; one for when I'm travelling for business and one for personal use. I simply call one business and the other personal.
