  2. Select whether you’d like to create a single or multi-use card type; single-use cards are for single payments, which means the card will expire after the first purchase, while multi-use cards are for repeat purchases up to the total value of the card, these are ideal for adding to your Uber account.
  3. Select the currency and amount you want to create your card for.
  4. Once you have selected your card type and the value of the card, click the “Create Card” button.
  5. You have just created a Mobile Virtual MasterCard®, it’s as easy as that!
