Uber rolls out Mystery Miles Giveaway for One Day Only
Uber to Begin Offering AIR MILES Reward Miles to New
RidersTORONTO, October 15,
2015 – Mobile app-based transportation company, Uber, today announced a national partnership where new Uber riders will receive AIR MILES Reward Miles.
Alright! So now you have two options for points/miles earning with Uber. Either SPG or AIR MILES. I prefer the first as my family are big time SPG users but we know there are whole bunch of Canadian’s who don’t use SPG (or are even know of SPG) who do know AIR MILES and collect AIR MILES (remember our Travel Hacking AIR MILES post from yesterday?)
To celebrate they are not only offering 100 Bonus AIR MILES when you take your first ride with Uber but today only you’ll get Mystery Miles on the ride and there are also chances to win 15,000 AIR MILES when you ride with Uber in Canada (not Calgary and other smaller centres though!)
We’re excited to announce a new partnership with AIR MILES in Canada,
where Uber users will get 100 Miles* after taking their first ride.Today only, to celebrate, we’re placing special AIR
MILES cards in cars in Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, Montreal, and Quebec
City. Request your Uber, and you’ll be gifted a special mystery amount
of Miles from your driver!
To enter the ‘Mystery Miles’ contest for a chance to win today here is what you need to do:
- Open your Uber app and punch in the promo code AIRMILES under the promotions tab (top left) to unlock the ‘AIR MILES’ option.
- Starting at 5:00pm select the ‘AIR MILES’ option in your app and request a ride.
- If you connect with a driver, you’ll get mystery Miles during your
ride, and you might just win enough Miles for a round-trip flight for
two! - Demand for ‘AIR MILES’ will be extremely high and not all requests will be fulfilled. Available while supplies last.
