It covers any cell phone for which you pay the bill to ATT/Verizon etc. using the Uber Credit card. That is how Barclays knows.

Sort of hard to believe, because I have 4 phones on my plan. If this is case, then that is pretty sweet!

Has anybody had any luck converting another Barclays Card into an Uber card without having to apply (in other words, avoiding a hard credit pull)?

I had to apply, but after approval, I was able to transfer a very large credit limit on an existing Barclays card to the Uber Card.

Uber Credit Card Phone Insurance

Going to be applying for the uber credit card. The cell phone coverage is going to be great to have, since I'm currently paying $40/month for 4 line of insurance on Verizon. My question is how logistically the insurance would work. I'm guessing I'll just have to walk into any verizon/best buy store, pick up a new phone and file a claim with Barclaycard? The FAQs of the website seem to indicate that... https://www.barclaycardus.com/apply/...ForwardUrl#q34

Bizarre process for me. They made me mail in copy of my ID, SS card, and utility bill (I am 800+ credit score). And they gave me a $1000 credit line...

Wow! I didn't think there were unsecured credit cards below five grand? I'm afraid I would consider that to be an insulting joke.

Found this card by accident! Can’t believe that other cards have tons of pages of discussion while this card has only dozens

It's a cashback card and this is a travel-oriented forum. That said, it is one of the best cashback cards for certain categories (dining and travel) and has some nice perks like the subscription credit and the mobile phone protection, so it would be a great in a 2-card strategy for cash reward seekers (pair it with a 2% card to cover all non-bonused spend).

I really like the card for the cellphone insurance. This would be a daily driver for me if i wasn't trying to meet MSRs

I applied and got instant approval but only got $500 credit line!!!! That’s weird because I have many cards with $5000-$20000 credit line with other banks!! Any advice? Is this common? Is there a way to increase the credit line?

Barclays issues with Amazon Prime membership as digital subscription

I hit the $5k spend before my Amazon Prime membership posted in August, but still didn’t get any digital subscriptions posted. Barclays is saying it’s a system-wide issue. Anyone else having issues with Amazon Prime Annual membership showing up as a digital subscription? No ETA for the fix - something seems a little fishy about this...

Since no digital subscriptions are showing up, I‘m guessing that’s why I still haven’t received my $50 statement credit. I don’t see why they can’t just give me the statement credit due me?!?!

Huh, that’s annoying. I’m planning/hoping to use that on my Prime sub as well.

OTOH, I have a hard time getting too upset with Barclays over this card. The cell phone insurance alone is great — I’m using my iPhone XS caseless now. Pretty sure I’m going to get the better end of the deal on that policy.
