Just looked for directions to my favourite bar and google maps on my phone offers me $20 off using Uber to get there.
I checked from my laptop and it doesn't offer it from there.
EDIT I went through the ordering process and it works perfectly well. I'm not a new user. The discount gets applied.
Referee and referrer get 50% off first/next 2 Uber Reserve Rides.
For a limited time, 50% off 5 rides for referee, 50% off 1 ride for referrer. $15 discount cap per ride.
I updated last night and it wasn't showing up, but it is there now. Give it some time if it doesn't show up.
Worked out that if you create a new Google account then download the maps app it will show up. Did it on the wife's phone. Didn't show up on my maps app after updating Uber and maps. Hope that helps someone.
Had the offer earlier.. Just went to go and try and use it, not there now. Tried adding the promo google manually and received "just for new users". gahh
So you use the 20 and you still have to pay 9!?!…which should get you some gumboots. Why not take the train to Caulfield then change lines and train to ormond. Or walk its only 2hrs 42mins walk.
I have it and am an existing Uber user. (Sydney). You need to click on the icon of the person hailing a cab. Just to be clear - it doesn't look like you can save this deal and use later. It looks like it is available for a limited time and you need to actually book from Google Maps and take the ride while the offer is available to get the credit applied.
Thanks! Gotta love oz bargains. Great on my $33 uber ride.
Btw, anyone tried using this offer more than once (i.e. using the same account)?
I wasn't seeing the offer and app seemed to be up to date but I deleted the app, re-downloaded it and it showed up :)
iOS. Cheers OP
I still have $25 credit from the westpac deal posted here. can I use my existing credit and this deal $25+$20=$45 for my next booking? I don't want to lose my $25 credit.
It's working for me now! Awesome!
Worked fine for me.
Had to update both uber and maps. Originally didn't see the deal, but after leaving it overnight it came up.
Not a new user.
How long can the credit sit on the account for?. And can it be used outside australia? :D
Can only be used once unfortunately!
The wording has changed in google maps now. It says "sign up for Uber and get $20 off". Not sure if it's still valid for existing users now. Can someone validate?
I noticed this too, am planning on using this tomorrow and I didn't want to click request in case i couldn't cancel it.
I noticed that too :( I signed into my uber from google maps and they still charged me hmm
I tried this Friday night on my phone and it said the get $20 off. On my GFs phone I did it a few hours later and it said sign up for $20 off.
Neither of us got the $20 off :(
Damn. Looks like it was a bug which they now have fixed. I thought it was too good to be true for Uber to be rewarding their existing customers. Something which I have never seen them do previously.
I e-mailed them and they couldn't see any existing google promos in my account so they asked me to provide a screenshot of what promo I was talking about and they refunded me my fare (since it was under $20) within like 5 minutes! :'D
@xtngo: I just got charged for my trip, I didn't take a screenshot lol…I sent them a support request explaining it.
@modernwalls: good luck! They usually reply really quickly, did you get a response yet?
I only had a screen shot because I was showing someone the deal hahaha
@modernwalls: you could also even show them the screen shot from this post? My screen shot was similar
I got it appearing for me now but it wasn't there the other day when you first posted this deal
.. but also noticing that as those above me who have posted, the wording is now "Sign up for Uber and get $20 off"
anyone received a refund/response from uber yet? I haven't :(
edit: my refund just came through, they agreed to refund it due to having the screenshot.
I think it's expired, it's $5 for me now. It was $20 yesterday.
Why didnt u post it up as a deal??
Dammit was planning on using it
Is $5 still around via gmaps?
Coming up for me on Android. I'm not a new user.
