    Is that ice cream or fat? :-P

    • +1

      No, that's envy ;-)

    • Chicken guts my friend :) GET IN MY BELLY Num num num num!!

  • +1

    just signed up, can't get the ice cream option in app, even after the promo code was put in.

    • +1

      Seems it is up tomorrow at 11am.

      But the link for the app was only to iTunes, so wondering if that app, rather than Android is for ice cream??

      • +1

        your right. cheers

  • +4

    Melbourne also with ICECREAMMEL. See here

    • +1

      From the deal link… And it’s not just Brisbane who’s being treated—Uber are offering free, personally delivered ice cream on a global scale. Over 130 countries are in for a very good Friday.

  • +2

    Sydney too!

    Edit: I went to sign up but it seems you need to enter a credit card? Any way of avoiding this?

    • +2

      Use PayPal? Then delete the pre payment option.

      • +1

        Yea, that's probably a good idea. I didn't really like the idea of Uber having my PayPal data either…

      • +2

        Signed up using Paypal in the app, checked paypal account and found 1USD charged and cancelled by Uber. No pre payment set.

        • +1

          How do you delete the pre payment option in Paypal?

        • -1

          I was charged $1 by Uber. What is this and how do I reverse this transaction?

        • How do you select paypal?

          Edit: Download through app store and not a link.

        • @abracadabra:

          I was charged $1 by Uber. What is this and how do I reverse this transaction?

          charge or authorisation?

          uber makes temporary $1 pre-authorisations to verify your account has funds - similar to a hotel placing a hold :)

          edit: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/153084?page=1#comment-2123…

      • Anyone clear on how to delete this option? Do I just have to shut down my Uber account?

    • +2

      do it via Mobile, not desktop and Paypal it

  • +3

    Thanks mafmouf and nostril. Deal has been updated.

    • +1

      No problem!

  • still asking for CC

  • +1

    Can we sign up today or do we have to sign up tomorrow at 11 ?

    • +3

      You can sign up today and the credit will be applied to your account but you can only order from 11am tomorrow.

      • Where can I check my credit on the Uber app?

        • login via web/desktop -> payment :)

  • +3

    Is that melted ice cream delivered ?

  • +6

    how big is a tub

    • +2

      https://www.facebook.com/gelatomessina/posts/101509754325455…

      500ml @$10
      1000ml @ $18.90
      1500ml @ 25.90

      • wait…its $10/tub…yet when we sign up we get $20 credit.
        So $10 for delivery… :/

        • Theurbanlist says it's $25 off the gelato (a 1.5L tub I assume?) but the code is $20 credit. When we order it will become $25? So confusion

    • 500ml - deal updated :)

  • Anyone found the ice cream icon yet?

    • You made the same mistake as me, read the title it says 11am 18JULY NOT 11am 17th ;) Ergo, Icecream icon will be available tomorrow 11am

  • +1

    Will this stack with a referral code or the code from here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/151577

    BTW, just did a Google search and all I see is a date of 19th July 2013 for the free gelato. Does anyone have proof of this applying to Sydney?

    • no but you should be able to use that code for free ice cream instead of a ride - those in melbourne who applied CPREADER14 should be able to score 3 free tubs ($20+$15x2) :)

  • +2

    Delivery this stuff would be a pain- if you're not there to receive it, it will melt!

    • +1

      Hence the delivery within minutes of you ordering.

  • +1

    does this work for the android app too? Or is it only for iOS

    • Works for Android, just go to menu, then promotions, then apply relevant coupon code.

  • +3

    i live in melbourne and accidentally placed the icecreambsn code. I tried to enter the icecreammel again and it did not work. What should i do ? :(

    • I did the exact same thing!!!
      Hopefully it will still work tomorrow :)

    • I live in sydney and i used icecreambsn too :(

  • +1

    Anyone tried this service before? Sounds too good to be true, wouldn't they be losing after delivery costs?

    • +1

      probably part of their advertising budget which is tax deductible

  • Does this work for existing signed up customers or only new?

  • +1

    I fail to see the connection between taxi service and gelato?

    This is like ringing a painter to deliver a pizza.

    • +3

      You're forced to trial their app, brand name awareness, deal will probably go viral (which it has since it's on ozbargains) and they have more people downloading their app than there are tubs of ice cream. There are probably more subtle advertising benefits.

      Plus Messina probably shoulders part of the costs as they're also featured in this deal.

    • +3

      It gets you to install the app. Then next time you need a taxi, you remember "oh yeah, I installed that uber app didn't I… Maybe I'll give it a try."

    Uber app requires access to photos/media/files, camera/microphone, device ID & call information among others during installation.

    Dodgy.

  • Existing users

    According to http://blog.uber.com/icecream2014

    THE INSIDE SCOOP

    • Ice Cream will be available on Friday, July 18th.
    • To request, choose the Ice Cream option in the app. If a vehicle is available, you’ll be enjoying your desserts in minutes.
    • No cash needed—your order will be billed to your Uber account.
  • So it's $20 credit, but how much does the ice cream cost and how much does the transportation cost? Or is the ice cream free if you use their service?

    • Ice cream $0
      Transportation costs $20

    • -1

      It's $20 for a 500ml tub delivered. If you're a new member you get $20 credit, which you can use towards buying ice cream or a ride. It's not rocket science.

  • what does this mean?

    Melbourne 11 AM - 5 PM $20 ( + $15 for each additional piece) for 1 // 500gram tub

    Can you get two tubs for $35? I have $40 credit on my account.

  • when i tried to put the code it says new user promo is already applied to your account.
    ???

    • Did you use another code before? I used the $40 credit code before so I just signed up for another account to get free ice cream

      • where is this $40 credit code ?

      • i cant signup for another account they have my phone number already and you cant register same phone number again?

      • How many mobiles do you have lol

  • +1

    Does anyone know how far you can deliver the ice cream outside of the CBD? Ie can I get a delivery 20km outside of the CBD? Ate there a list of suburbs being delivered to?

    • +1

      I am wondering that too… how far can it go…

  • +1

    Sydneysiders: Gonna feel sorry for those who registered and are outside of these area:
    "Sydney CBD, North Sydney, and Eastern Suburbs only."

    • Do you reckon that will include Newtown?

      • Google if Newtown is part of the CBD. Otherwise it is up to their discretion how far they'll go.

  • +1

    Yeah I doubt it's going to be delivered to outer suburbs. I live 60kms from Perth .CBD and the app says no cars in my area.

  • This might be the silliest question - the Icecream icon isn't in my Uber app - does it only show up when the deal starts
    (have checked App Store and my Uber app is completely up to date)

    • yes it only starts at 11am

      • Now Showing!

  • +1

    So. Wait until 11am. Sign up. Tell them where you are. Book a car & icecream. Cost is $20. Account has $20 credit in it from signing up. Hope that they will come to the area that I'm in. Stand out the front and collect slightly melted icecream.

    Did I miss anything here? My cold is making this harder to understand than normal. Icecream will fix that.

  • applied the code to my existing account, didnt work. says code is only for new users

    • probably you have applied some new users code previously. do you have some credit $? $40 or 20 already?
      if you are existing account but never put any code this will work

      thats what i think

  • +4

    All the ice cream cars are taken atm in bris :(

  • +1

    I can't verify my mobile. Got the SMS code but had accidentally tapped out of the screen to enter the code. Can't find it anywhere in the Android app now. What a fail.

    • +1

      You get a prompt for the code when you book a car

  • +1

    In Melbourne, they are only delivering around the CBD and South Yarra :(

  • +5

    No ice cream available…

  • +1

    No ice cream option

  • +2

    i dont see an icecream option?

  • +1

    Still can't see ice cream… or well, might just have to drive to Parra to get some

    • +1

      Same here

  • +1

    Neither can't see any IceCream option.

  • IT CAME UPP

  • I see the ice cream option, but the app keeps kicking me out and I have to sign in again.

    • +1

      Now the ice cream option is gone.

  • +2

    Ice cream option was at the bottom but dissapeared after a few seconds.

    • Also shows no ice cream for my location. Restarted phone & ice cream option reappeared.

  • +1

    I got an email from Uber this morning on this deal but how it works is so unclear

  • I can see it! icecream option is live!

    EDIT: Now it is gone again

  • +1

    so it's only for CBD and south yarra for those in melbourne ?
