To update your credit card information in the Uber app, open the app and go to the account section. Select Wallet and choose the payment method you want to update. To add a new card, tap add payment method, enter the details, and save. To edit an existing card, select it, tap the options menu, make changes like expiration date or billing address, and save. If you need to change the card number, delete the old card and add the new one as a separate payment method. Be sure there is at least one active payment method linked to your account.
