I’ve been an Uber rider since the beginning. When I moved to NYC in 2012, I was one of the first people to sign up for Uber when it came to our city. Back then, Uber was in hyper-growth mode and was offering some really sick promos. For every friend I referred, I would get $20 in free credit and so would my referral. That initial bonus has since dropped, but there are still some hacks for how to score free Uber rides, I’m going to cover my favorites and show you how you can score them.
