  Re Uber are there any UBER (or any other taxi company for that matter) discount codes that can be used abroad? We are going to Paris later in the year so it would be good to get some free credit!

    Is Uber actually operating in Paris or not? It seems from their website that you can book a journey in Paris but I understood the service had been effectively banned in the city following massive protests from Paris taxi drivers back in December?

  This Wackfield sounds great. Can anyone tell me what zone it is in and do I need to open an Iberia account first?

  Does the £10 Uber credit have a ‘use by’ date? I don’t have any immediate plans to use a taxi in Wakefield or anywhere else, but a bit of credit would be welcome just in case.

    No, I don’t think so. I had a credit sitting around for over 6 months when I first signed up and it was still valid when I eventually used it.

  I had £25 credit on my account I planned using in Januay. Could not see it on my account but after contacting CS they assured me it was still there. However, it was not used against my trip and when I asked why I was told it expired end of the year. Ended up paying £40 fo a trip I thought eoulf cost ne £3 at most. Traffic was horrendous though and three of us in car so still better than train or tube despite detours and gridlock. Still not too happy CS was not better so undecided whether to use again.

  BA’s offers – why do they need to be so bloody complicated?

  You would think that given the tsunami of bad news BA has sent in the direction of its BAEC members that they might just have a promo that was simple and straightforward.

  The transatlantic deal has more holes than swiss cheese and so whilst I have registered suspect I will never see a bonus. Arghhh “its the way they make you feel that makes British Airways, a Bloody Awful airline.

  I am confused am going to Toronto in Sep 15 and have asked Uber for a price from airport to downtown (at several times of the day).
  The say C$100-113 for UberBlack whereas the controlled fare is about C$60.
  Does this sound right? I thought that they were cheaper?
