so it's just another random visa card without any special discount (cashback) on uber rides? Is there any point to this?

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.

1% universal cashback is nothing special.

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.

At first glance it actually looks like a pretty good card in terms of rewards. If I didn't have 3 cards that provide basically the same rewards, I would get it. 4% on dining, 3% on travel and 2% on online purchases is very nice. The $100 credit for $500 spent in 3 months is also generous. No annual fee.

You can also use the points for Uber credits.

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.
