One of the best credit cards for Uber is the American Express Platinum card. You’ll get $15 in Uber credits every month and another $20 in December, which can rack up to $200 per year for both Uber rides and Uber Eats in the U.S.
The Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card is another good option, as it gives you 2 miles / $1 spent, including Uber rides. Unfortunately, the Uber Credit Card has been discontinued. Otherwise, it would have been at the top of the list.
Here are the best credit cards for Uber:
The American Express Platinum card offers up to $200 annual Uber credit – redeemable through Uber Cash by downloading the Uber App for iOS or Android and adding your card as a method of payment. It also offers 100,000 points for spending $6,000 in the first 6 months. Plus, you can earn 5 points per $1 on flights booked with airlines or with American Express Travel (up to $500,000 spent per year), 5 points per $1 spent on prepaid hotels booked through Amex, and 1 point per $1 on all other purchases.
The card also offers annual statement credits toward incidental airline fees on a qualifying airline of your choice, among other perks. It has a $695 annual fee. At least good credit is needed for approval.
The Capital One Venture card offers See Terms. Plus, you can earn 2 - 5 miles per $1 spent on purchases. You can redeem miles for recent Uber rides with Capital One’s Purchase Eraser at a rate of 1 cent per point, within 90 days from the date your travel purchase posts to your account. The card’s annual fee is $95. Good credit is needed.
The Amex Gold card offers up to $120 in Uber credits each year for Uber rides or eats in the U.S. (up to $10 per month). You can redeem the credit by adding your card as a payment method to the Uber app. Plus, it offers 60,000 points for spending $4,000 in the first 6 months.
You can earn 4 points per $1 at U.S. supermarkets (up to $25,000 spent per year), 4 points per $1 at restaurants worldwide (plus takeout and delivery in the U.S.), 3 points per $1 on flights booked directly with airlines or on amextravel.com, and 1 point per $1 on all other purchases. It has a $250 annual fee. At least good credit is needed for approval.
the Chase Sapphire Reserve card gives you $300 annual travel credit as a statement credit for your travel purchases, including Uber rides. You can earn a total of 10 points per $1 spent on hotels and car rentals booked through Chase, a total of 10 points per $1 spent on prepaid restaurant reservations or takeout orders made through Chase, a total of 5 points per $1 spent on flights purchased through Chase, 3 points per $1 spent on all other travel and dining purchases, and 1 point per $1 on all other purchases.
Plus, the card offers 50,000 bonus points for spending $4,000 in the first 3 months. It has a $550 annual fee. At least good credit is needed for approval.
Ultimately, keep in mind that travel rewards cards often let you use your points or miles toward Uber purchases.

I think the best is the Citi Double Cash Credit Card, which will give you 1% back when you first pay for your ride, then another 1% when you pay the card off at the end of the month. Since Uber is considered a travel expense, the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card is also very good, because users receive 2 miles for every dollar spent.

I know Chase Sapphire Reserve also does 3x points with Uber. 3x because they consider Uber as travelling and an extra set of points because you're using a digital wallet. Not half bad, if you ask me.
