Step 1: Download the Foursquare app
Step 2: Select a venue, tap the Uber badge [U], and then tap Ride there with Uber.
Step 3: Enter promo code FOURSQUARE when signing up for Uber and get going!
Found this thanks to tchai @ reddit. Comments suggest this code can simply be applied directly into the Uber app. I did this but it came only to $10.
Mod: Despite the blog saying "new and existing users", users have reported that it doesn't work for existing accounts.
Referee and referrer get 50% off first/next 2 Uber Reserve Rides.
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.
$10 or $20?
It didn't tell me, i'll try logging in online to see if it tells me anymore info.
Doesn't tell me anymore info from the website so i'll guess i'll find out next time i use the service.
i can also confirm this.
No it is not!
UberX is questionably illegal. All other forms of Uber are LEGAL.
you should be illegal in Australia jv.
I have never seen any positive comments from you. You should be banned from this community
He's just baiting people to get neg votes. He doesn't add anything to the conversation and usually tries to put down the deal. It's just not funny anymore if ever especially with the amount of effort people put into deals.
jv are you a taxi driver? You've said similar things about uber before…
Works for me. No idea how much though. Guess I'll find out on Thursday when I need to use it.
Used Uber today. Took $10 off a $35 trip. Thanks again OP! :)
how do you tap the uber badge in 4Sq app on windows phone?
Only says discount on next ride, so please be specific is it $10-$20? Or just $10 or $20 alone?
Hey I can't be 100% sure but I take uber regularly, whenever u do a fare estimate it tells u the approximate amount. So I assume it's between 10 to 20. Eg. From city to my place is around 15 bucks
i went into the uber app and added it to the promo section. it just came up "discount to your next ride"…. didn't specify anything else.
Just entered in Android Uber App
Says: Promotion Only Available to New Users
It says now : A new user promotion is already applied to your account
Just a heads up its for new users only
when i entered the UBERDINING code, its gave me this promotions "Up to $20 off your first ride, UberDINING" but it didnt apply at all
Just a mistake on the system probably.
Anyways use at your own risk
My last ride didnt apply the promo code I had on my account. I logged on online, requested a fare review of the ride, and in the feedback box explained that I had a promo code that wasnt applied. Within an hour I had that fare refunded. It sometimes happens but they're quick to fix it after you let them know about it.
Looking at comments how to get enough to put me off
Only available for new users.
Same here. New users only
I have entered the promo code in uber app and it says discount applied (yet to try)
im not a new user, and it worked for me.
Not a new user as in you have an account, never taken a ride, or you are literally a new user?
ive spent over 2k with uber, so ived ridden all of uber ;)
@tuzii: Oh right makes sense.. I should've done it then. Decided to sit and watch to see how I could get $20 instead. lol
Just tried it. Also says "only available for new users"
Only available for new users
A bit of help please…
I downloaded the Foursquare app, selected a venue but can't find the Uber badge :(
would that be because I am in country Vic and the app is therefore not giving me the Uber option?
NB: I will be visiting Melbs soon so thought I could use this freebie then…
TIA fellow bargainers xox
lol foursquare still exists?
I didnt download the app, just enter the code on my iphone, get message code ok, and took an uber trip today 11am, get discount $10
Confirmed that you don't have to install foursquare in order to use the promotion code.
But - I used a friend's new referal link to register a new account, and my credit balance is zero - I guess it should be $25. Maybe it's because my friend never used his uber for years - he has a kind of phobie that he must be within 200m of his car to stay sane, so he never could use uber.
Does anyone know if the trip cost $40 and you have a $25 free ride and $30 credit balance, do they deduct the remaining $15 from your credit balance or charge it to your credit card?
$15 from your credit balance. If you only have $5 credit balance, then $5 to your credit balance and $10 to your credit card
Discount on next ride
foursquare 5/19/2015 11:52pm UTC - 12/31/2025 11:59pm UTC (5/20/2015 9:52am AEST - 1/1/2026 9:59am AEST)
never seen a 2025 expiry before…
don't forget that $40 and 50% off codes are available for new users :)
now voting -ve due to deal no longer being available to existing users and new users can receive more via referral or other codes such as AIHL ($25 off First Uber Ride Anywhere - New Users Only)
now voting -ve
Heh. Yeah I gathered that from the red thing next to your name. Only 9 votes on your deal? Bugger knows why.
Hi, i have never used uber before, just wondering do they charge a premium after 12am? and is the fare estimator relatively reliable?
thanks
do they charge a premium after 12am?
not as such but surge pricing can occur anytime (though is relatively rare)
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-07/sadler-ubers-price-sur…
is the fare estimator relatively reliable?
yes it's based on google maps data afaik :)
Worked on my android but not on my husbands iphone. We are both existing uber users
Thanks OP! worked for me
My credit that was supposed to expire in 2025 has disappeared from my account :(
I just signed up and created an account using the referral link. How do I check if this credit has been successfully applied into my account.
Yep worked directly through the app, Cheers OP!
