FESTIVE5

Just received an email from GoCatch:

It's the festive season and we know you'd rather spend your hard earned cash on tacos, beers, and presents for your buddies.

That's why our awesome offer is back! For the entire month of December, we're giving YOU $5 credit on EVERY GoCatch trip you take with the code FESTIVE5.

You'll get $5 GoCatch credit when you first use the code, and then again EVERY Rideshare trip you take until midnight, December 31. You can use the credit on GoCatch Rideshare or Taxi’s – whatever you love the most!

For those wondering how GoCatch compares to Uber:

although you can book taxis using GoCatch you can also book "rideshare" AKA Uber. Vehicle requirements are stricter in GoCatch than Uber so you will receive better cars on average. GoCatch requirements:

Be a medium-large size hatchback, sedan or larger (Uber allows small cars like Nissan Micra, Suzuki Swift, etc.)
2009 or newer (Uber allows 2007 or newer)
Max 150k kms on the odometer (Uber no restrictions)

I have tested it and it works for both new and existing customers. If you are a new customer it can also be stacked with the $15 referral bonus for $20 total, use my code CSMTC when you sign up (or a random code below). As per comments in previous deals you will need to do the referral code first before adding the FESTIVE5 code.

  For new customers in Melbourne, try entering RIDEMEL20 instead of a referral code for $20 credit. Might be expired though as the other Melbourne code finished yesterday. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/273161

  my experience with their app has been poor. Generally no rideshares available. Had to take a cab to utilize my voucher but at the end of trip, the app wouldnt process my payment. Had to pay cab directly.

    My experience with GoCatch has also been very poor.

    I ordered a RideShare recently. App crashed. Could not restart the app. Had to order an Uber instead.

    The next morning I wake up to find that my RideShare order was processed, some dodgy driver "picked me up" and went on a merry ride around the city, racking up a huge bill that was charged to me. Now I am going through the annoying process of trying to get a refund. Yet to hear back from GoCatch. If they don't reply soon, I'll be doing a charge back on my credit card.

      Haha thanks for the reply. I kind of guessing it is not and kind of joking with that question.

  Gocatch is becoming popular among cab drivers. These parasites are ruining the whole ridesharing concept and experience.

  GoCatch is terrible. Their in-app payment doesn't work, and when I complained they terminated me?

  Hi

  We took our first go catch ride and the payment didn't work. We used two credit cards and they both failed and we couldn't use the $15 promotion. Can you please refund me?

  Thanks
