I'm not an expert on of any sorts. But these cashback values are much better than my current credit card. And I pay an $100 a year fee for mine. This one is free. It just seems a very solid card.

I agree; I mainly use my Amazon Prime card (5% on Amazon, 2% at restaurants, 1% otherwise), and this card is much better - plus there's an extra $50 back from subscriptions which is nice.

I'll wait for the Lyft one though.

The page is misleading — those percentages aren't cash back values, they're for if you redeem as Uber credits; only 1% if you redeem as cash back.

My interpretation here of the fine print was incorrect. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15567825.
Only drawback is association with a card that says "Uber" on it. Their brand is terrible.

For any online purchases, I suppose that's less of an issue.

Not sure where you live but Uber's 'terrible' brand is at best a very localized phenomenon. In most of the world it's either a neutral or positive association.
1% universal cashback is nothing special.
