MCLEAN, Va., April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital One Financial Corporation COF and Uber announced today a unique new partnership that offers Capital One cardholders and Uber riders simple new ways to save. This partnership brings together the common focus that both companies have on creating products and experiences that seamlessly deliver value and make people's lives easier.

Starting today, Quicksilver cardholders will receive 20 percent back as a statement credit on all Uber rides through April 2016 when they pay using their Quicksilver or QuicksilverOne card. This couldn't get any easier – just use a Quicksilver card within the Uber app for payment and get 20 percent back as a statement credit, with no enrollment required.

Additionally, for a limited time, any eligible Capital One cardholder who is new to Uber will receive their first two rides free, up to $30 per ride.           

"Capital One remains focused on delivering value to our customers through convenient and innovative digital solutions that make their lives easier," said Todd Kennedy, Senior Vice President, US Card, Capital One. "This partnership is a great opportunity to further save our cardholders time and money by helping make the Uber experience more rewarding."

In keeping with Capital One and Uber's focus on simplicity and convenience, the Quicksilver offer does not require any additional sign-up or registration. Capital One Quicksilver cardholders will get a 20 percent statement credit on all rides through April 2016, in addition to the unlimited 1.5 percent cash back they already earn on every purchase with Quicksilver.

"We're thrilled to partner with Capital One, a company that shares our vision of creating elegant, simple solutions to meet important consumer needs," said David Richter, Vice President, Strategic Initiatives, Uber. "Together, we'll provide a meaningful combination of savings and convenience to millions of customers."

This is the latest example of how Capital One is focused on putting the customer first by simplifying everyday activities to save time and money.  From the Capital One Wallet to Credit Tracker, making the customer experience easy and intuitive is always a top priority.
