Free $30 Uber ride: Promo Code Sharing Thread
« on: September 21, 2014, 08:59:44 AM »
MOD EDIT: Please don't all use this first poster's code, but spread the love to others who have posted in the thread.  Thanks.

/END EDIT


Foreword: I will talk about how to get a $30 free ride using my referral code when signing up for Uber.

TLDR: If you open a new Uber account and use my promo code, we both get a free $30 ride.
__________________________________________________

I just used Uber (the increasingly popular rideshare app) for the first time last night! It was awesome. The app is super suave, with seamless GPS tracking of your location and your driver's car, accurate google-maps-like interface, and contact info for the driver in case you need to call and give any special directions for them to follow when picking you up. You pay by stored credit card info through the app, so when you get in/out of the driver's car, there's no fumbling with cash or receipts like in a regular cab. They send you a nice itemized receipt by email after the ride is over.

The receipt from my ride included the message that if any new uber users signed up with my referral code, both I and they would get a free ride of up to $30!

Seems like a pretty sweet deal, so if you're interested, my referral code is vpney. When you use it as a new customer, you and I both get a free $30 ride!

Even if you're not into referrals, Uber is still a really cool service, so I'd encourage peeps to look into it if it piques your curiosity.

Thanks!

Anyone who's PM'd me knows it because I sign my PMs with my name.  Or anyone that listened to the podcast I was interviewed on.  :)

I don't think you can customize your code.  I was pretty happy when that was randomly generated though, I mean, what are the odds?

Example: I sign up with your code.  we get $30 credit.  You give me a "lift" for $30.  You cash that out.  I then give you a "lift" for $30.  I cash out.

Seems like Uber is opening the door to people taking advantage of their promotion without actually utilizing the service.

Cash out, as in, spend the 30$ on a Uber ride.

Isn't that exactly what they want you to do?  If you take the free ride, you've utilized their service and they hope you'll like it and do it more.

I've been using Uber for quite some time now, so couldn't use anyone's referral on this thread. But thought I would share mine anyway: 8c4ms. It's only for $20, and thank you in advance if you use it! Enjoy.

Well, yea...that's the idea.  I guess I don't see what point you are trying to make.  You don't have the option to pocket the money.  You either take a free ride or you don't.

The person you give it to gets to pocket the money.  If that person is your friend you can just give it to them without getting the ride for a free $30.

I'm glad we agree.  But then I don't think you and OneCoolCat agree on what "cash out" means.  You should regroup offline and get your story straight before attempting further discussion.

Maybe coolcat is assuming you and your friend also become drivers, and ride in each other's for the free ride, so you "cash out" the earnings of giving that ride?

Seems like a convoluted way to earn a few bucks (and you'll have to actually give a ride, price is based on gps and distance and such).
