Just had this one pop up in my facebook feed.
Apparently Uber are offering free "safari themed" rides in conjunction with Virgin Mobile and Pedestrian.tv to promote a competetition to win a safari.
Pretty sketchy on the details, but it implies that there will be a Virgin button in the Uber app for that weekend that you can press to get a free ride.
The first thing we'd like to share with you about our collaboration with Virgin Mobile is that Uber's be giving away free rides from the 27th of November until the 30th (put it in your diaries kids). Secondly, your driver's outfit will be serving up safari-chic realness and their car shall be doing exactly the same. To book your safari car, simply select the Virgin Mobile safari icon on the day of.
If anyone has any further information, please comment below.
I can see it panning out in two ways:
1. Implemented well with plenty of drivers and no sneaky terms and condtions.
2. Deal gets ozbargained and as usual, company involved (Uber) has only allocated one single driver and can't keep up with demand.
Fingers crossed!
Uber and Virgin Mobile, offer $20,000 prize - end up spending millions after being sued by Nickelodeon for unauthorised use of their intellectual property.
