Uber is offering a $20 credit for new and existing users. Just apply code UBERCOHOLIDAY in your app. No guarantee that this offer will last long (for existing users that is), so I suggest applying it to your account ASAP.
Also, if you do not yet have an Uber account, if you sign up through a referral link, you can get $20 in free credits.
What is Uber? If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you are probably well educated on what Uber is, but in case you have not been paying attention or new to this site, Uber is an“On-demand car service that allows everyone to have a private driver experience through iPhone, SMS, and web based requests.” It is less expensive than a car service, but slightly more expensive than a yellow cab. Your credit card is stored in your account so there is no exchange of money at the end of the ride. A 20% gratuity is automatically added as well. Cars are extremely new/clean and the company will even text you with the drivers name for extra security.

Already reach limit 🙁
** CORRECTION **
There is NO tipping/gratuity provided by Uber. Riders must tip cash directly 2 driver if they choose.
Yes, gone. That was quick!
Also Jennifer, you wrote: “A 20% gratuity is automatically added as well. ” But I believe that only applies to UberTaxi. UberX (and the other Uber services) do not apply a tip, nor do they let riders apply a tip. [Lyft DOES let you apply a tip.]) I think this is accurate but the details are always in flux. (For example, Uber now lets you schedule a pick-up!)
