Free Ride with Uber
09.09.13
A new car ride for hire service called Uber just launched in Orange County; it’s a free app that connects a private driver to you with a tap of a button. Based in San Francisco, Uber is now available in 18 countries as well as 24 cities in the U.S. Uber is offering Greer's OC readers a $20 credit by using the promo code 'OCDEV' through Tuesday. You can request a ride and be picked up within minutes. A new fleet will be arriving soon called UberX that will be cheaper than a taxi.
This code is good for first time riders only, anywhere in the U.S.
To redeem a promotion code, you just need to apply that code to your Uber account prior to taking your ride. Here’s how:
UBER APP:
1. Tap the “My Account” button in the top-left of your Uber app.
2. Tap the “Promotion Code” option.
3. Type your promotion code and press “Send”.
TEXT MESSAGE:
1. Text your promo code to 827222 (US Only)
UBER.COM WEBSITE:
1. Sign in at http://uber.com
2. Click the “Promotions” link at the top of the page.
3. Type in your promo code and click “Submit”
