If you’re commuting regularly by taxi or rideshare, the right combination of tools can turn everyday spending into layered savings. Stacking cashback offers is a simple but powerful way to stretch your transportation budget—and it starts with using the right apps together.

Here’s how to use Fluz, Rakuten, and Ibotta to earn on top of your rides and maximize your cashback potential.

Step 1: Use Fluz for Prepaid Gift Cards
Start by using Fluz to buy a transportation gift card online. For example, you can easily get cashback at Uber or other services by purchasing a prepaid card through Fluz. The cashback is issued instantly and can be combined with other rewards.

Step 2: Pay with a Rewards Credit Card
When buying that gift card through Fluz, use a cashback or travel rewards credit card. This lets you earn points or percentage-based rewards from your bank on top of what Fluz already gives you—effectively earning cashback twice from a single purchase.

Step 3: Activate Bonuses with Rakuten and Ibotta
Rakuten works especially well if you’re booking transportation online, such as airport taxi services via Expedia or car rentals. Ibotta, on the other hand, occasionally provides offers for gas or transit-related services—just check the app before riding.

Real-World Example
Imagine you take $100 worth of rides a month:

• Buy a $100 Uber gift card through Fluz = ~5% cashback = $5

• Use a 2% cashback credit card to make that purchase = $2

• Book an airport transfer through Rakuten = 5% back = $5

• Add a $1 Ibotta offer for a related promotion

Total Cashback: $13 on $100
That’s a 13% return—just for changing how you pay, not what you buy.

Tips for Success

• Always check if your ride service accepts gift cards

• Store digital gift cards in your app wallet for fast use

• Enable push notifications in Ibotta and Rakuten for alerts on new offers

• Review each app’s merchant list to find overlaps and maximize potential

With minimal effort, you can turn your daily commute into an ongoing cashback cycle. For riders in fast-paced cities, stacking rewards is one of the easiest ways to make transportation more affordable—without sacrificing convenience.
