The Capital One Quicksilver card used to be hands-down the best card to use on Uber purchases, thanks to the 20% statement credit on every ride promotion. Unfortunately, that offer expired in April 2016 and there hasn’t been anything like it available since then.
That changed today when Uber announced it would be introducing a new loyalty program called Payment Rewards. As part of the new program, through March 2017, Uber is offering every 10th ride for free (up to $15) when you pay with a Capital One Quicksilver or QuicksilverOne card.

This quarter, from April 1 through June 30, Chase Freedom cardmembers can earn 5% cash back on up to $1,500 in purchases at grocery stores and wholesale clubs.

Not so long ago, it wasn’t possible to get a copy of your credit score without paying for it. Fortunately, due to the advocacy of consumer watchdogs and agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, it’s become easier than ever to access your score. Now, a number of banks offer this information for free to their customers.
Up to this point, however, nearly all credit card issuers required an existing relationship in order to get a free score. Discover is looking to change that, once again taking a leadership role in expanding credit score access. In 2013, it was the first major credit card issuer to provide free credit scores (from TransUnion) to their customers on their monthly statements. On Friday, it is announcing it will become the first credit card issuer to provide free credit scores from Experian to the general public.
