Uber Cash as default
Seems I cannot turn that off by switching to a credit card for the next ride. Anyone have a solution?

Only other option is to use the business profile and I think there it is defaulted as off.

Upon taking your next trip, it prompts you to pay with a credit card. I wish it would stop defaulting to Uber Cash, or at least be smart enough to know when Uber Cash isn't going to cover the full fare, and split it with a credit card.

What I got hit with recently, which has happened before, was that I was able to pay for the entire trip with remaining Uber cash and a credit card; however, the tip that I intended to pay via credit card, which seemed go through at the time, resulted in a warning on my next trip to validate that credit card transaction before I could book the following trip itself.
