You can use your debit or prepaid card for as long as it’s Visa, Mastercard, Diners, JCB, American Express, Discover, UnionPay, etc. Actually, we haven’t tried first hand the other brands but we’re sure of Visa and Mastercard. If you’ve used others, we’d love to hear your experiences and suggestions in the comments section below.
Also, you can enroll more than one card for your Uber payments. You can even enroll a card under a different name. Refer to this post to know how.. Example, if your company has a corporate card (name different than yours), you can enroll this and use this to pay for your official trips. You can even use a friend’s card (of course, with their consent!) or even your parents card.
DISCLAIMER: Kids, please don’t do this without your parent’s consent! And you didn’t get the idea from this blog. Hehe!
TIP: When you register using a prepaid or debit card, make sure you have more than Php 500 in the account. When you ride, make sure your card has enough money to pay for the trip. Once the system detected that your balance was insufficient, even just once, the system will reject the prepaid/debit account permanently.
