Both Lyft and Uber do this....they give us referral codes for $25 and $20 respectively, to be used by first time riders. However... when they download the app , both Uber and Lyft tell them they can have a $30 on THEM! WFT? Is a rider going to use your free $20 or Uber's free $30? It's a really great way for them (uber/Lyft) to not pay us for referrals yet still get the new riders.

It's genius, really. The bastards.

The $30 showed up only after the pax used my code. I watched as he was downloading the app.

It shows up on your pay statement. Keep the forum updated whether you get your money or not.

I got mine this past week.

Update, for the week ending 10/13, I am certain I should have received TWO $10 new rider promotions. I got one on the statement. The second event was on the last day in the period, so maybe the accounting is just slow and it will show up next week.

Check and make sure they didn't split the trip if they were together.

It's more like $17 with shipping and tax. With 2 weeks for delivery.

It's better to give out the code from your Rider account. $30 for the new rider, and $30 for your next ride. More for new rider, more taken from Uber and given back to the drivers.

I like your idea, especially now that they are reducing the $10 to $5.

 

[Swed]

how much are the vista print cards?

around $25 for 500

 

[GoJoe]

Why not print a code for both - maybe leave the $ part blank?

Use this code for $$ of your first ride! (It may be free depending on the total cost)

The hell with Uber and Lyft and their promo codes. If they want new riders they can just cut the rates so that its cheaper for the riders and more profitable for us. Ummm...errr....wait....never mind.

I have received e-mails saying if someone uses your promo code I would get $10....then e-mails saying it would be $5....today I get an e-mail saying its $10.... what the heck is it?

It used to be $5 here. Now it's $10. Though, that's probably a mistake. They meant to change it to $1, I'm sure

One last question... if someone gets in the car after requesting a ride, but the ride has not started yet, is it too late for them to enter a promo code before the ride starts, such as if this was their 1st time riding and you give them the $20 off promo code for example? thanks

 

[bigdaddy55]

I'd rather take the $10 than ride with any of you angry bastages

Hello? Have your wife give you a $30 code. You give it out. Every time someone signs up, she gets $30. Every time you two go somewhere, she requests, you get paid! You're welcome.

Yes too late. They need to use the code as they download the app.

They can use the code after downloading the app. One thing I have not tried is having a new rider cancel the ride before we start, enter the code, then request again.

 

[UberRey]

They can enter the code as you are driving along in the car. It WILL get accepted. I just don't know if it is applied to the current drive or not. If not, they can email Uber and complain that they never got the free first ride that Uber promises. Uber will honor it.
