Also, people aren't worried about manned terminals--they're worried about the unmanned ones.

Uber launches a credit card
Small bonus ($100 credit with $500 spending), but 4% back on dining and 3% on airfare/hotel is surprisingly generous for no annual fee card and no foreign txn fee.

Assume it has FTF?
If the customer service experience is anything like the one trying to deal with Uber problems and issues, I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole!

Agreed that Uber customer service has become atrocious, but for the card CS will be through Barclaycard... though no comment on whether that is better than Uber CS ;-)

Interestingly, UberEATS gives the 4% while Uber itself is only 2% per the link. I'd have expected that all Uber services would have one earn rate.

It's fairly difficult to MS travel/dining spend, I'd think. Plus maybe their customer base doesn't travel enough (despite maybe using Uber often) to make Barclays lose money from that?

Welcome to Flyertalk.
This card will be issued by Barclays, not by Chase. It will not be subject to any Chase policy, but if you open an Uber credit card it will be reported to credit bureaus, same as any other personal account, Chase will see it, and it will count against your "5" accounts opened in the last 24 months, as would an IHG personal card.

Amazingly, only 2% on Uber itself. #epicfail
With no FTF or annual fees, this could easily become my backup card and primary for restaurants, airlines and boutique hotels. And if Marriott drops/changes the Starwood Amex, could be used even more.

I'm guessing the "get % back" means in the form of credits to be used at Uber? Or do they mean cash back/statement credit?

I agree with your assessment. 4% for restaurants is awesome, although I wished it was all "food-related" stores. Sometimes coffee/cafe don't count, like my Costco card.
