The Uber Visa Card from Barclays is too good to be true as it has no annual fee and gives you more benefits than 98% of the cards on the market. Most bloggers won’t tell you about it. They are owned by the banks or are too greedy to do so. This is the best card on the market so when I see a survey in my email to fill out I do so immediately. I want to stop any chance of changes to this amazing card.
Currently you get an amazing 4x back on dining, 3x back on travel, and 2x back with online purchases including Uber rides. You also get benefits such as the top of the line cell phone coverage if you lose your phone or break it and a $50 credit on Netflix and music subscriptions. This is all without an annual fee. No other card does this. The bloggers won’t tell you that they are too busy pumping the Chase Sapphire card a useless card in my book but they get a hefty $150 commission on each application while you only get pennies back on dining and everyday purchases.
The survey asked me to look over the packages below and select the card that you would be most likely to apply for and use. I picked the right column as I would not apply for either. This is not as good as the current card offering.
Alaska Airlines has partnered with 12 ski resorts for the 2018-2019 season where you can get a free lift ticket just by showing your boarding pass. Just make sure to keep your Alaska Airlines boarding pass, or print out extra copies, and show your pass at the mountains sale office to redeem your complimentary lift ticket. Skiing isn’t normally cheap so this is a great offer to take advantage of it.
Lyft has announced that on election day (Tuesday, November 6th) they will be offering 50% off rides nationwide and free rides to ‘underserved communities that face significant obstacles to transportation’
Lyft has not said how the codes will be issued. The rideshare company is partnering with a number of voting organizations (Vote.org, Nonprofit Vote, TurboVote) and it talks about product integration.
They also have not said what areas they decide receive free rides vs 50% off rides. This could cause potential controversy but hopefully it gets more people out to vote.
If you haven’t signed up for Lyft be sure to check out our promos page here.
Update: Both Uber and Lyft plan to offer folks free (or heavily discounted) rides to voting booths around the country. Uber will add a “Go to the Polls” button in its app, which will hail a free ride to the nearest voting booth. Lyft will give away 50% off promo codes, as well as free rides to “underserved communities that face significant obstacles to transportation.” (more…)

The Chase Freedom Card since we first broke the news of this card release on our site years ago has been one of our favorite no annual fee credit cards. This is because it offers 5x points in rotating quarterly categories, for up to $1,500 of spend per quarter. While it was one of the first cards of its kind we mostly just use it to max out the 5% cashback in these categories.
5x on Holiday Shopping
Between October 1 and December 31, 2018, the Chase Freedom Card will offer 5x points on the first $1,500 of combined purchases with wholesale clubs, department stores, and on Chase Pay transactions. With Holiday shopping coming up you should get value out of being able to earn 5x points at wholesale clubs and department stores. The department stores category will be especially popular for holiday shopping.
If you don’t yet have the Chase Freedom Card you can still apply and take advantage of the fourth quarter bonus category.
Previously they offered from July 1 through September 30, 5x points for the first $1,500 of combined purchases for Lyft, Walgreens, and gas stations. Up until now, Chase has kept the 5x points category for the fourth quarter of 2018 was a secret. Maybe they were keeping it from Discover who normally gives an easier redemption for cash back than Chase.
Were happy to see the Chase Pay bonus that was available in the first two quarters of the year back for the fourth quarter. That’s a bonus category that’s easy to max out, given how many companies accept Chase Pay (including Starbucks, Uber, etc.).
5x at Walmart Hack
You can get the 5x bonus at Walmart and Walmart.com. Get the walmart app and sign up for Walmart Pay. Use Chase Pay as your default method of payment for Walmart Pay and then use Walmart Pay in the store using the Walmart app and selecting Walmart Pay, then scan the QR code at the register and it gets charged to your Chase Pay. Make sure the Freedom card is your default for Chase Pay. Walmart.com directly supports Chase Pay at checkout. Just log into your Chase Pay account. I maxed out three quarters using this trick.
Huge Discounts on Gas
Also Chase Pay allows you to pay at a Shell gas pump and you can link your Fuel Rewards card/discount to it so you can still redeem your discounts. No scan required, you’ll just use the phone app to activate the pump. I use this to reduce the risk of card skimming at gas stations and also have electronic receipts.
