Unlike WinterIsComing, these are cash credit with no expiry date, not ride vouchers, so any leftover is for the next trip :)

  1. Sign up using a promo/referral code or link from here to receive $20 credit.

    Referrers can receive $10-$20 credit after a referee's first ride with Uber.

    Warning: DO NOT sign up via the https://clients.uber.com/#!/sign-up link on Uber, else your credit might be in USD instead of AUD :(

  2. Log into your account, and in Promotions, enter topmelb [expired, try a different code] to receive another $20 credit.

    What can I do in an Uber Private ride Vs just a run-of-the-mill Private ride?

    What is Uber btw?

      Similar to Maxtreem, but not quite as much as Hardcore and almost as good as Pants Shittingly Cray.

  • orin on 03/07/2013 - 16:57

    Thanks OP, that was quick and easy!

    • tonester on 04/07/2013 - 14:21

      no worries…

      a +ve vote would be welcomed :)

  • easternculture on 03/07/2013 - 16:58

    so what is your referral code

    Is it ubermelb ?

  • zzyss on 03/07/2013 - 17:01

    I ended up getting $20 in USD anyway, even though I used the ubermelb signup link…

    • tonester on 04/07/2013 - 14:22

      are you in australia?

      did you enter a mobile number with an australian +61 prefix, as well as a 4-digit postcode?

      email [email protected] to convert it to aud :)

      • zzyss on 08/07/2013 - 16:18

        No joy. They won't convert currency. Stuck with 20 USD now :-(

        Pretty sure I had all Aussie details selected during sign-up.

        • tonester on 08/07/2013 - 16:25

          did you tell them that you used all aussie details during sign-up and were australia at the time (and/or oz ip address)?

          i did and was given A$10 credit (it's normally $10 referral and was when i signed up) - they're usually nice/kind about these things :)

          btw i'm still stuck with US$10 as well

        • zzyss on 08/07/2013 - 22:21

          Yeah, the guy noticed that I had another $20 credit in AUD, so he was basically like "too bad, mate". Oh well.

  • Moderatorneil on 03/07/2013 - 17:06

    tonester, is ubermelb your personal code?

        Has to be, cause you can personalise your code once you have an account.

      tonester, is ubermelb your personal code?

      I just made an account, then went to referral section and personal codes start with uberXXXX (XXXX being ur desired code)

  • easternculture on 03/07/2013 - 17:45

    Great . will use an Uber Taxi with my $20 return flight to the GC heading to the Syd airport

    • easternculture on 03/07/2013 - 18:01

      It is if you book an Uber Taxi

      uberTAXI No flagging or yelling required! Use Uber to request and pay for a taxi, at standard taxi meter rates plus a $2 fee. No credit card surcharge.

      The other services are a bit overpriced

      UberBLACK : Base Fare $8, Per Kilometre $3.25
      UberLux: Base Fare $18, Per Kilometre $4.25

      • Shwayne on 03/07/2013 - 23:33

        The $2 fee is waived at the moment in Sydney apparently.

    • berger on 03/07/2013 - 18:10

      Why did you even neg vote with a question like that?

  • cooldude123 on 03/07/2013 - 18:09

    Is there a way to bypass the credit card thing, don't really want to rack up hundreds of dollars of charges accidentally?

    • uraha on 03/07/2013 - 19:25

      you can use the app to calculate approx how much the trip would cost

    ubermelb is his code. feel like i got duped
    https://www.uber.com/go/uber[xxxx] insert whatever and you invite people, they get $20 you get $20

    • easternculture on 03/07/2013 - 19:45
      +4

      Agreed

      Considering OP is a Power User, he should know ozbargain guidlines and declare that we are using his affiliate code. And i have nothing against using someones affiliate code as long as they declare it.

      • tonester on 04/07/2013 - 14:25
        -2

        sorry, i thought that originally writing "receive $10 or $20 referral credit" would be clear enough - obviously not :(

        • easternculture on 05/07/2013 - 01:48

          Very hard for me to believe this since you wrote and i quote in your wording:

          Sign up with promo code ubermelb to receive $20 credit.

          when clearly its not a promo code.

        • tonester on 05/07/2013 - 11:59

          i wrote promo code as that is the field on the sign-up page :)

    • Gav on 03/07/2013 - 20:59

      I thought so at first too. However I believe the URL is always https://www.uber.com/invite/uber[xxxx] and not https://www.uber.com/go/ - not been able to confirm.

      • easternculture on 03/07/2013 - 21:27

        just tried it on myself on another account using my link https://www.uber.com/go/uber[xxxx] and it showed up as a referral signup on my other account

    • Shwayne on 03/07/2013 - 23:35

      He only gets money if you pay for a ride. :P

    • tonester on 04/07/2013 - 14:28

      feel like i got duped

      did you not receive $40 credit?

    • mycosys on 03/07/2013 - 20:57

      sweet - nice one

    • powerhammer on 04/07/2013 - 14:31

      Great idea - I added mine: uberBargain !

    • tonester on 04/07/2013 - 14:51
      +1

      good idea - was thinking about starting a conga thread myself :)

      conga being that you sign up using the last (most recent) name before then adding your own to the end of the list

      interesting that not everyone listed in the wiki has voted +ve to this deal…

      • easternculture on 04/07/2013 - 15:55

        interesting that not everyone listed in the wiki has voted +ve to this deal…

        Yes, i didn't upvote this because the OP initially didnt declare his affiliation with Uber. He listed his referral code as a promo code. Saying that, he is a Power User and Should be a role model and adhere to OZbargain rules rather than mislead us in using his referral code as a promo code.

        • Moderatorneil on 04/07/2013 - 15:58

          Actually, looks like everyone including myself missed this in the original deal:

          Unlike WinterIsComing, these are cash credit with no expiry date, not ride vouchers, so any leftover is for the next trip - and I should hopefully receive $10 or $20 referral credit after your first ride :)

          Probably should have been a bit clearer though to which one was the ref code.

          I did report it right away as soon as i saw it. But then noticed you asked the OP in the thread if that was his aff link

    Great - signed up, $40 credit appeared.
    I used UberSUV from the Wiki - I'll definitely be using this service (even just for a normal cab) so stand by for credits to appear everywhere :)

  • Shwayne on 03/07/2013 - 23:14

    topmelb works for existing users who have not used the service yet. (Yields $20 for first ride.)

    Other code is just OP's standard promo code.

  • Eivad on 04/07/2013 - 13:48

    Website says topmelb has expired :(

    Just FYI: I'be previously emailed these guys about removing my account and credit card details. No reply as yet.

    • powerhammer on 05/07/2013 - 06:54

      Maybe try their twitter or Facebook for a quicker response?

  • Bargainboi on 05/07/2013 - 09:45

    does the $40 credit still work?
