Very clever marketing by Indooroopilly Shopping Centre. The centre is also offering a premium child minding service. The complimentary Christmas Cinema Room will show classic Christmas movies and children will receive a free Boost juice and bag of popcorn. Enjoy :)

Count me in champ hahaha
and how are they supposed to return home?
Walking!
You don't :)
Pretty sure that's what happened to ET
If they drop you in the carpark you can never leave.
They want you to call them to go home so that this time they can charge you.
Where is the bargain?
what they should've done is to let everyone who touch their go cards on/off at indro get the trip free… this would solve this return trip problem, be cheaper to run and reduce the number of cars in their car parks. I think what they want to get out of this is the information of where and when the customers are coming from than anything else.
Indooroopilly has a large bus depot and the train station is just outside down the hill.
Not much good for those that don't live close to the train or bus though.
Uber?
+1 for anyone who lives next door to this place
I've never used Uber, and never will, they track your ride travel movements. They know exactly where every person is moving to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QiUSooHz3s
A comforting thought when the company has a track record of continuously breaking the law and shafting their employees independent contractors. Speaking of which at the moment they're trialing autonomous vehicles in America without a permit so it's quite a topical subject - wouldn't you want to be on the roads at the same time as ubers new driverless car? That's the kind of company I'd want knowing all my details!
Yes because Uber has arrangements with the governments in the countries where they are operating. They are not subject to the law.
they're trialing autonomous vehicles in America without a permit
why doesn't that surprise me… they are still illegal in Victoria by the way…
Nope they are not illegal…state of VIC charges $2 per ride and Uber is LEGAL in state of Victoria.
state of VIC charges $2 per ride and Uber is LEGAL in state of Victoria.
lol… Hasn't even gone through the lower house yet… Uber is still illegal.
@jv:
Bill is yet to be passed but the court said its not illegal.
Lol…somewhere in between but not illegal for sure.
Bill is yet to be passed but the court said its not illegal.
It it's not illegal, why pass a bill to make it legal ???
@jv:
Interpretation of legislation my friend :)
Government couldn't interpret the law correctly…Government said as per current laws UBER was illegal ,started to fine Uber drivers.
UBER requested someone who can read and interpret the law in higher court.
They found a judge who was good at reading and interpreting law(s),after closely studying government's argument's and UBER's appeal .The judge concluded as per present legislation UBER is not illegal if present laws are giving government hard time understanding laws and keeping along with times then get a new legislation which makes it easy for government and public.
Sense prevailed and as you rightly said legislation pending in Parliament yo be passed in the lower house.
Government said as per current laws UBER was illegal ,started to fine Uber drivers.
When? It was the Taxi Directorate that issued the fines.
They are trialing autonomous vehicles with two safety technicians at the front sear to take over driving and monitoring the sensors.
Don't just read the headlines lol.
to take over driving and monitoring the sensors.
yep… no driver, no permit… illegal…
How's it any different to Google tracking your every movement and using them to project traffic congestion on their maps?
I'll take this as Indro Shopping Centre management admitting that their carpark is atrociously designed.
Yes, it's no wonder Westfield pulled out a few years back. Such a problem child that centre. So much potential of even further expansion via more property resumptions and/or excavating/building higher but sooooo expensive to achieve.
What the hell is "Premium child minding service"?
Sounds like it may be this. The parent taps a few buttons on their smartphone and a person arrives in an hour to baby sit their child, a complete stranger off the street that is. Would you leave your child with a complete stranger?. Sounds like it could be a massive child security risk.

If you have ordinary child they would not provide service..
You order an Uber to collect your child and deliver to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre all for free (up to $20).
Wouldn't that also be a massive child security risk. A stranger turning up in a car to collect your child?. You never know who is a child molester or murderer.
It's totally safe, Uber has insurance and if you pay with Paypal, you're protected again.
All those drivers who helped Uber grow and are making a living out of Uber … will start crying in few years when they will be no longer needed.
They all know it's going to happen. They do it for the extra money now and many have backup plans.
Source: I talk to the drivers.
Glad to hear that.
Excuse my stupidity, but why will they no longer be needed in a few years?
Self-driving Ubers…
Never heard of it, a quick google search shows it's taking off in the states though!
@EFC94: Yeah, interesting times ahead. It's good to know by the time I lose my license due to old age I'll have a self-driving car or automated pickup service day or night at the push of a button.
Live an hour or two from work, no worries, sleep, work, play or study while your self-driving car brings you to work.
Imagine playing computer games, watching a movie or reading a book while your car drives you to work, drops you out the front and parks itself at the cheapest parking it can find.
:)
@EFC94: They started rolling them out, you can order a driverless UBER in Pittsburgh, USA.

Not really anywhere in Brisbane if its capped at $20
Title should be updated to say "Up to $20 off from anywhere in Brisbane to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre from Dec 19-26"
I believe you can just pay the excess over the $20 free limit.
Not close enough for this to be cost effective for me. I would rather drive to pretty much any other shopping centre in Brisbane than Indooroopilly, given their parking situation. Combined with the Christmas rush, it would be a nightmare come true.
More hassle than driving my own car, the return trip is not free.
"Hey son, can I have some popcorn and maybe a sip of your Boost jui…"
"Nooo! You tricked me into one of your stupid deals again! I'm saving it for the 2 hour trek home in the scorching sun!"
How do they know if you are using this code to get to Indro, or somewhere else?
GPS
Request your Uber from out front h & m just along station road near the metal kangaroo :) I'm a driver and always have people expecting Musgrave road or station road both areas are taxi only so do it this way to save everyone a hassle :)
WP Indooroopilly! I actually hope it works for them. More peeps should do this kind of thing!
"Very clever marketing by Indooroopilly Shopping Centre"
I'd call it interesting and perhaps even newsworthy. But clever? There would have to be a great return on someone's investment.
Who is funding this (and assuming it will not be the lowly paid drivers"), and for what benefit?
I doubt that the shopping centre is funding random uber passengers for a fare to their general vicinity.
wow awesome deal. love uber! we used the uber amex deal in ny.
As I live a 10 min walk from the centre, I can probably just use this to get free rides home for the next week.
Can promo code only be applied during those dates? Didn't work for me when trying now
Hey mate just entered it then and it worked!
OzB meetup ?
