Uber news – get two free £15 rides with Booking.com and free rides for everyone in Bolton

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

If you have an account with ride app Uber, you may have received an email this week promoting a deal with hotel booking site booking.com.

If you book a hotel room via the link in the email (this is essential) you will receive codes for two free £15 Uber rides after your stay is completed.

There is no small print apart from the fact that your stay must be before 31st October 2016.

This is a very impressive deal if you are an Uber user, although remember that the £15 ride vouchers don’t give change – make sure you use them on longer trips or in more expensive cars.

Get free rides in Bolton ….

Having launched pretty much everywhere in the world, Uber is now filling in the gaps.  Starting with Bolton.

Between Monday 8th August and Friday 12th August, EVERY Uber ride in Bolton will be free.

There is minimal small print:

You are limited to a maximum of two free rides per day

Each ride must cost less than £10

The ride must start and end within “the Bolton council area”

A £15 sign-up credit for everyone

Finally, if you don’t have an Uber account, remember that Head for Points has an exclusive £15 sign-up code.   This is better than the current ‘refer a friend’ deal which is just £10.

Simply download the Uber app and enter ‘HEADFORPOINTS’ on the promotional code page.  You will receive £15 off your first UK ride.

    A message appeared on my phone screen a couple of days ago offering ‘free’ Uber rides. Unfortunately, I managed to click twice instead of once, and there it was, gone. 🙁

    • Rob says:

      The message said ‘Look out for the email we’ve sent you’!

  • Alex says:

    I booked a £3 stay on booking.com via the link but got an email today saying that I noshowed… Will I still get the credits?

    • Genghis says:

      Whereas with hotels.com you prepay and so the hotel doesn’t really care about a no show, at booking.com you pay at hotel and so a no show = no money = upset hotel.

  • rams1981 says:

    think they have a cancellation fee so hotel makes it money. Not sure Uber will honour it though if booking.com flags as a no show

    • AB says:

      Yes, it came through as a noshow with a cancellation fee for the full amount.

      • Rob says:

        Snap. Poo.

        • AB says:

          I’ve made a new booking, and stayed there. Checked out 2 days ago. How long should it take to get the e-mail with the codes?
