      My guess is Rob Katter.

      Robbie Katter I guess….Nice work Uber!

  • HardQuiz on 02/05/2016 - 21:29

    It's for Adelaide

    Enter code "iknownobody" to pay RRP.

  • realfancyman on 02/05/2016 - 21:32

    Awesome! Never seen a voucher this high. Great for Adelaide as we only have UberBLACK.

    I don't know Robbie, so I don't feel comfortable name dropping him for $40.

  • YellowKnight on 02/05/2016 - 21:39

    Does Adelaide have UberX now?

    • Matt P on 02/05/2016 - 22:02

      uberX driver meeting this thursday. I'd say it will kick off on 1 July

      • realfancyman on 02/05/2016 - 22:06

        @Matt P what do you mean by this?

        • Matt P on 02/05/2016 - 22:08

          There is a meeting between Uber and registered UberX drivers in Adelaide this coming thursday. Safe guess is that it would be to advise the plan for Launching UberX locally

        • realfancyman on 02/05/2016 - 22:24

          @Matt P: So they have drivers already registered even though the service isn't actually legal until July 1?

        • klownz on 02/05/2016 - 22:53

          @realfancyman:

          They were running drivers in Sydney long before it became legal there..

        • Matt P on 03/05/2016 - 00:01

          @realfancyman: They have done promotional work with free rides, paying the drivers an hourly rate. Only during special events such as the fringe. The intention being getting cars and drivers set up and running for when UberX launches

      • rubig on 02/05/2016 - 22:48

        Time for taxi cimmision to come and photo every plate number for future fines.

        • Matt P on 03/05/2016 - 00:02

          lol yeah ok

          Ride sharing is legal in SA from 1 July.

          Stop renting your taxi and drive for yourself.

    • realfancyman on 02/05/2016 - 22:05

      It's legal as of July 1 but Uber is apparently not sure whether it will set up here.

      You're Wycombe

  • cisco on 02/05/2016 - 21:40

    Does it mean that if I use the referral link and the code iknowrobbie I get $50 credit?

    • realfancyman on 02/05/2016 - 22:02

      can only use one voucher per trip

    • cheesecactus on 03/05/2016 - 02:09

      nope. One or the other

  • muncan on 02/05/2016 - 21:41

    not sure of any geo restrictions

    I believe they're geo limited to roads

  • StarkIndustries on 02/05/2016 - 21:49

    The names are employees who work at head office ;)

    • Powershopz on 02/05/2016 - 22:23

      I think it would work as long as you setup a new account/are a new user.

  • nats on 02/05/2016 - 22:21

    Damn my first ride was yesterday, wouda coulda came in handy ..

    • nightelves on 02/05/2016 - 22:24

      Think there's a way you can claim the first ride again. Someone on Ozbargain used to have a loophole

      • cheesecactus on 03/05/2016 - 02:10

        link if anyone finds it?

    Does Uber hate loyal customers?

    • nightelves on 02/05/2016 - 22:34
      +1

      No it just likes new customers like every other business

    • get-innocuous on 02/05/2016 - 23:49

      There's no point having loyal customers if they cost you money every time they ride. Since the driver gets paid ~80% of the fare, a $40 ride is a $32 loss for Uber, which for a new signup is known as a customer aquisition cost. This is a metric they most certainly keep track of, and evidently they're happy with that being about $32 (though as they expand into cities they tend to cut it back, I notice most uber codes are now $20).

  • TheAviator on 02/05/2016 - 22:36

    How do these vouchers work? Can I sign up right now and save it to an account for later use? Or do I have to use it pretty much straight away?

    • nightelves on 02/05/2016 - 22:40

      No they have an expiry date on them and you don't have to use it straight away

  • Crownminer on 02/05/2016 - 22:42

    Just tried to register - says code has expired

    • har_2d on 02/05/2016 - 22:47

    robbie has left the building

  • HardQuiz on 04/05/2016 - 07:20

    I managed to add the code to a new Uber account but now when I go to promotions in the app, it's gone. Why ?

    • HardQuiz on 04/05/2016 - 16:42

      Anyone ?

      • [Deactivated] on 19/05/2016 - 10:20

        yeah my code disappeared as well. I didn't even get to use it. Weird.
