Uber promotional code for London now available

February 11, 2013 by Raffles

A week ago I ran this post about luxury London taxi group Uber, describing their new flat rate pricing for trips from London to the major London airports.

I said at the time that I would post if their was a new working promotional code.  Reader Mike highlighted that the Uber promo code URBANJUNKIES, which ironically I wrote about back in the Summer but assumed was dead, was still working.

If you sign up here and use the URBANJUNKIES code, you will receive a £20 credit off your first ride.  This can either be used for a free ride or a decent discount.  The code was definitely still working OK yesterday because I tried it on a dummy account.

    I have used this code to open two accounts on different cards now, and took a ‘free’ ride in a BMW 7 series with Uber over the weekend. Cracking deal, and based on the service I’ll probably use them for my next dash to the airport from Canary Wharf.

    Thanks raffles, just used them for the first time with your code and a ten quid bonus I had for a free cab home from paddington.

    They are too expensive from LHR but when combined with the HEX work out quite nicely.

    Uber appear to have billed my card £1.00 for this.

      Presumably a security check to ensure your card is valid. If it shows as Pending it may drop away and not make it to your main statement.

    Any ideas how many times you could do this with new accounts?

    You might get a further tenner off if you do a search for a car using the Uber app but don’t place a booking. I just received this email:

    Hi James,

    I see you were looking to get a ride with us in London recently and I’m sorry we let you down. We’re working hard to get more cars on the road so we can always be there when you need us.

    Here’s £10 off your next Uber ride to make up for the inconvenience, it will be deducted automatically from your next trip. As it’s a trip discount, you can see it when you sign into your account online, in the promotions section: https://clients.uber.com/#!/promotions

    I hope you’ll try riding with us again soon!
