Why cancel the card? Did they steal her card # or just get her password? I'm pretty sure if they stole the card they would have charged a 4D big screen.

Did Amex email you or do you check your account that often?

Did she get 512$ or lose 512$?


Ugh. It fricking grosses me out when people put the $ symbol after the number. If I could find you IRL, I'd punch you right in the mouth.

You get an email when the ride is completed with a receipt.

How do you appeal the charges with Uber? I wanted to dispute an Uber charge in Chicago but didn't know how to contact them? It was charged over $66 for a ride from the airport to a suburb that should only have been around $30. Didn't know how to contct them so went through Paypal.

AMEX is the absolute best about this kind of shite. They will cancel your card, fedex you a new one and remove the charge from your account.


Man, they really do that for you? They must be the only one that goes to such lengths.

You could have been in surge, in which case there is a big thing on the screen telling you prices are higher at thag time. Either that or your driver took an extra 30 minutes to get wherever you were going... In which case you should have rated him a 1 star.

Fun fact, if their driver ratings go below 4.6/5 they are in danger of having their contracts with uber revoked. Oddest scale ive ever seen.

This has happened with a lot of uber accounts lately. The cause? Easy passwords. They're not really hacking.

Uber should Institute a policy of verifying the passenger's identity before beginning the ride.

I like when people do it, it lets you know right away that they have no education OR common sense and should be ignored.
