In 2026, the two primary American Express consumer cards that offer significant Uber benefits are the Platinum Card® and the American Express® Gold Card. The Platinum Card provides up to $200 in Uber Cash annually, distributed as $15 each month with a $20 bonus in December; this credit can be used for both Uber rides and Uber Eats orders in the United States. Additionally, Platinum cardholders receive "Uber VIP" status in select markets, which pairs them with top-rated drivers. The Gold Card offers up to $120 in Uber Cash annually, distributed as $10 each month. To activate these benefits, the cardholder must add their eligible Amex card as a payment method in the Uber app. In 2026, a key requirement is that the Amex card must be selected as the payment method for the transaction to redeem the monthly Uber Cash. These credits do not "roll over" to the next month, so users are encouraged to use them before the last day of each calendar month to maximize the value of their card's annual fee.
