How to Use a Credit Card with Multiple Uber Accounts

Uber recently started the Family Profile feature to allow users to share a single credit card across multiple accounts. For now, this service is limited to a select few cities with plans to expand in the future.[1] To get started, the family organizer will need to login to their account in the Uber app and enable the family profile from the Settings. Then the organizer can invite users from their contacts list to join the profile. All rides made from that profile will be billed to the credit card on file for the ‘family’.[2]
