For me, Uber has been a game changer.
I no longer have to fight businessmen for cabs in New York City, nor try to figure out where the heck I am in St. Louis so I can get picked up at three in the morning. (Both true stories.)
Now I just open my Uber app and request a ride, and soon enough, I am merrily on my way.
If you’re as big an Uber fan as I am, you’ll be stoked to learn about this new deal that lets existing users get a FREE Uber ride of up to $20.
How Existing Uber Users Can Get a Free Ride
With many promotions, only new users are eligible. That’s usually the case for Uber, too; the company offers free rides to anyone who’s willing to try them for the first time.
But thanks to Uber’s new partnership with Facebook, existing users can get a free ride, too, saving you up to $20.
To grab your free ride, all you have to do is hail your Uber from within Facebook Messenger.
The feature isn’t available to everyone yet; it will slowly roll out over the next few weeks. So if you don’t see the “Transportation” option within the platform, wait a few days, then try again.
Here’s how to grab this deal:
- Download or open the Facebook Messenger app. Make sure you have the latest version. (If you don’t, it will probably prompt you to upgrade.)
- Open a new message. In the bottom right-hand corner, click on the “More” option, which appears as three small dots. Select “Transportation” and follow the directions to link your Uber account.
- The next time you’re in need of an Uber, use Messenger to request your ride. Your credit of up to $20 will automatically be applied.
If you don’t have Uber yet, we recommend signing up for the app and taking that free ride first (if you use a friend’s referral code, you both get a free ride!) — and then linking your account to Messenger to get your second free ride.
If you’d rather drive for Uber instead, we can help with that, too. Here’s a post on how to make more money driving for Uber.
