Does Uber "take" the $15 Amex Platinum Uber credit, first THEN take the remaining $10 from my AMEX card or from $150ish Uber Gift Card balance on my Uber account? I know there are some exclusions (say fees, surcharges etc) that cannot be charged against the $15 Amex Platinum Uber credit, so assume for this example that the spend of $25 is just the straight up "cost" of the Uber/Uber Eats item/ride. Obviously, I'd like to spend the $15 Amex Platinum Uber credit first before dipping into the 150ish Uber Gift Card balance (or AMEX, for that matter).
I believe the default setting is to use up the monthly credit first before applying other payment method(s). You can switch off that setting to save the monthly credit towards another ride. IIRC, if you do so, the setting reverts back to the default for the next ride. Maybe someone else can confirm?
