Starting from today, for a limited time, your referral code has doubled in value to give you and your friend that hasn't tried Uber before a free ride up to $20!

Whether it's that friend that always jumps in their mate's Uber but never their own, your colleague who starts the day complaining about their long commute, or a parent that still only uses their smartphone for calls - sharing Uber with others just got twice as nice!

$20 referral rides are here for a month, starting Friday 10th June and finishing Sunday July 10th. Your friend must sign up with Uber for the first time and complete a trip before you get your ride.

Referral Links

Drivers Only: random (70)

Referrer gets $300-$500 once referee completes at least 30-40 deliveries.
Referees may be eligible for special offers based on the number of trips or deliveries they made after signing up through an invitation.

Riders Only (Uber Pool): random (62)

$8 off 2 Uber Pool rides for the referrer and referee. Referee must not have taken an Uber Pool ride before. Open referral link from a mobile device.

      It would be nice if you asked for your posts to be removed.

  • k2k8k5 on 10/06/2016 - 14:41

    Its only for 1 month though, from June 10th to July 10th

    I think free rides go back to $10 if you don't use it within that time

      YESOPTUS, stgeorge25 or WESTPAC25 gets you $25 off 1st ride

  • bluesky on 10/06/2016 - 15:07

    Perhaps OZB members can shed some light on this.

    I have yet to try the Uber service. But wanted to, especially transport from/to the airport.

    My understanding is that there is no pre-booking for Uber. Question is: if I am say, 30km from the CBD, what are the chances that I will be able to get the Uber service when I need it. I am assuming it is during the day or evening (not early hours of the morning).

    Many thanks in advance.

      There is no pre-booking. I've checked it in the suburbs of Perth before, and they were always within around 10mins distance, so you certainly won't be waiting long. 99% of the time, you'd probably be waiting longer for a taxi and you would an uber!

      • bluesky on 10/06/2016 - 15:13

        Thanks, good to know. Melbourne experiences, anyone? (would be even more reassuring) :-)

          I'm pretty certain that you'll be able to get an Uber in under 10 minutes from the airport. Just checked now and an UBer is 5 minutes away. It's Uber black so estimates are $83-112. Which is a bit expensive for my tastes.

        • bluesky on 10/06/2016 - 15:38

          @LongJohn92: Thanks for your reply. I assumed you checked for pickup at airport to suburbs. Wonder if it is just as easy, for pickup from suburbs 30kms out of CBD, for airport. If so, it would be good.

          I agree, it is expensive, but sometimes there are just not many options.

          @bluesky: As an casual uber driver, I can tell you there're oversupply of drivers everywhere…You don't need to worry about not being able to catch an uber unless you're like middle of dessert or more than 50km from CBD. As a driver, I cbb competing with the newbies at hotspots anymore, I just stick to my "areas" now, which is usually airports or 20-30kms out of CBD, where I have regular FIFO clients

          @bluesky:

          I live in Dandenong North which 29km away from the CBD (south-east), and there's always somebody nearby when checking in. A trip to the airport with UberX would cost $74-97, depending on the duration of the ride.

          Check out this site and enter the locations you wish to travel to and from, then it will tell you how long you would have to wait for an uber driver, as well as the cost.

          If you have any other questions feel free to ask :)

        • bluesky on 11/06/2016 - 14:55

          @baz96: Very helpful, thanks very much :-)

      If you download the app, it lets you see cars that are nearby. I'd suggest doing a test run at a similar time/day to when you want to travel to get an idea of what availability will be like.

      • bluesky on 10/06/2016 - 16:00

        Thank you, I will do just that. Cheers!

    YAWN… how desperate are these Uber people, huh?

    Every few days the same thing - repeated over and over and over. I haven't read the site policies, but it's just becoming "regular price" rather than a deal.

    It's like we go "OH NOs - the Uber Free Ride deal just expired and I missed out!"… then 10 minutes later, another deal appears for exactly the same thing but worded slightly differently or via Westpac or some such rubbish.

    Without trying very hard with my search terms, I found ELEVEN deals for Uber in May. At least one every 3 days, and most of them were dupes. OMG I wonder if they have the muppets organised to ensure the average in maintained again in June?

    Maybe we should start a "Uber Deals Of The Week" thread, and just shove all their spam advertising in there?

        so does stgeorge25 or WESTPAC25

    • theophilusthistler on 10/06/2016 - 18:48

      But if your referral was to a related party, $20 to referrer + $20 referree > $25

      • easternculture on 10/06/2016 - 18:53

        Just means potentially your going to pay $5 more on your ride

        • karlgr90 on 11/06/2016 - 08:35

          Unless you already have uber, but your friend doesn't. You've pretty much got a return fare between you if you use them together.

  • yjun355 on 11/06/2016 - 07:27

    So how are uber accounts linked. Is it power email address or mobile number ?

    Thanks David?

  • YLC on 12/06/2016 - 00:56

    Does anyone know if the credit could be used for just the first ride, or also subsequent rides if there are credits remaining?

  • rf123 on 13/06/2016 - 22:20

    When will the credit expires?

    • G Wok on 10/07/2016 - 11:57

      Yeah I've got the $20 from referring someone do I have to use it before the expiry date?
