There is a tie in with American Express Membership Rewards in the USA, both earning and redeeming points:

Topics relating to earning SPG points are covered in the SPG forum
Topics relating to ground transportation are covered in the destination forums
Topics relating to Uber/Lyft/Sidecar loyalty, safety et al have been covered in ten TravelBuzz threads over a span of four years.
The status quo is perfectly intuitive as demonstrated.

Here are two different versions to implement this, one with a new Uber/Lyft forum and one without.
Version 1 (no dedicated forum for Uber at this time):
TalkBoard recommends renaming the heading "Car Rental Programs/Partners" to become "Car Rental Programs and Ride Services, including Uber and Lyft"
Version 2 (new forum for Uber and similar services): TalkBoard recommends renaming the heading "Car Rental Programs/Partners" to become "Car Rental Programs and Ride Services"
TalkBoard recommends creation of a new forum at the top position under that heading entitled "Ride Services, including Uber and Lyft".

I prefer version 1; with an option for version 2 at a later date, depending upon the performance of version 1.

In the rental car discussion forum? If so, shouldn't that be re-named as well?
Seems like we NEED a version 2 type forum if we are going to park ride services in the rental car lot!

I support having a separate forum. I use uber a lot. Yes there are some negative uber stories but there are just as many negative experiences with taxi drivers
