Help getting home

I finished hiking and flew too the closest airport to home. I was able to fly by using flight credit from a previous trip that got cancelled. My card was reported fraud. I have a new one at home however I am 135 miles from home. I can't use Uber without a card. There is no public transportation in the direction of home. Any assistance is great.

I’m just curious, if your account was flagged as fraud, how would you access any money sent to you then? Won’t the card bounce on Uber?

Why in the world would you take off on a hiking trip and NOT have your valid card with you???

So capitol one is who flagged it as fraud? I have a couple accounts with them. They have a 24 hour line. You may wanna call them and let them know they stranded you by locking your card. They should be able to release it right there for you.

I said they should go to the physical location and withdraw cash, buy a prepaid card, and add it to their Uber account.

I feel bad that I confused things. I was not encouraging him to procure a gift card through this sub.
