Can they read?

How the company handles their Help section: with real humans or machines? My Uber credit card, as usual, earns $$ rewards. By the way, I signed up when they first offered it in 2018 and the terms they offered were very good. Then a couple of years on, they slim it down with so so terms, that includes how you can spend your hard earn reward, which offers only one way: to funnel it into Uber Eats, automatically. (hope I have this right.)

Recently I noticed the rewards has been sitting in my credit card account and I tried a few times to move it or transfer it into Uber Eats but unsuccessful. So I called credit card which was no help, they told me to call Uber Eats. The only help I found is on Uber Drive, by choosing pre-titled problem. However, none of them fit my need exactly – maybe my problem is not a problem, just I’m not too bright –  so I chose one that most relative to mine.

I picked I received an error when enrolling in Uber Rewards and wrote “How do I transfer my rewards in my Uber credit care to my Uber Eats?”

The first reply came the following day,  that reads like their advertising commercial:

The fifth came to explain two types of points: level and reward.

I understand that it’s really inconvenient to deal with this kind of issue, Irene. I’ve reviewed this further.

Irene, when you enroll in Uber Rewards, you begin to earn two types of points on every trip and order – level points, and reward points.

Level points earn you access to Uber Rewards membership levels. As soon as you earn the next member level’s minimum points, you immediately gain access to that level’s benefits for the rest of this earning period, as well as the next.

Reward points are more flexible and give you the option to choose the rewards that make sense for you. Whether you’re riding less one week and choosing an Uber Eats promotion, traveling more and choosing a ride promotion, or feeling in the giving spirit to donate to one of Uber’s partnered charities, the choice is yours!

You can get all the details about points and how they are used at uber.com/rewards.

Your understanding on this matter is truly appreciated.

The sixth came to teach me how to apply their credit card:

Hi Irene,

To apply for the Uber Visa Card directly from your Uber app:

1. Open your Uber app and tap the menu in the upper left corner.
2. Select Wallet.
3. Choose View All Offers in the Payment Offers section.
4. Tap Details under Apply for the Uber Visa Card.

If you don’t see the option to apply, it may be because you’ve already applied, been denied or your application is processing. For further information, please call Barclay at 866-823-7543.
