Uber launched their version of a family ride sharing plan, which allows you to share your account and payment options with nine other people. The best part is those nine people can be family, friends, or coworkers.
One feature passengers have frequently requested is an easy way to pay for family and friends. That’s why they have announced Family Profiles, a new feature we’re launching in Atlanta, Dallas and Phoenix that lets up to 10 riders safely and easily share one payment method.
Here’s how it works:
For the Family Profile organizer:
Uber has partnered with Facebook Messenger to allow you to order rides from the Messenger app. When you order your first ride through Messenger, you will get a free $20 ride credit, even if you already have an Uber account.
“For a limited time, you’ll get a free ride the first time you use this feature (up to $20 value) with Uber. All you have to do to claim your free ride is link your existing Uber account or set up a new account within Messenger and request a ride. Driver status updates and payment receipts will get delivered to a private conversation between you and Uber. With everything in one place, you can seamlessly keep track of your ride and payment history.”
Sounds pretty simple and a nice way to get a free ride. Make sure you update your Messenger app to the latest version to make sure that you can do this.

I am excited that I am going to be using Uber on my next trip from the airport.
Uber is partnering with hotel chain Starwood to give riders a bit more incentive to choose the ride-hailing service over a taxi.
Uber passengers can now earn one Starwood rewards point for each dollar they spend on a ride in a car found through the San Francisco-based company’s mobile app. Guests spending the night at one of Starwood’s 1,200 hotels will earn two to four points per dollar spent, depending on their level of status with Stamford, Connecticut-based Starwood.
This is the first global deal where ground transportation passengers can earn hotel points for trips.
Here is the link to register and link your accounts!
Here are some tips to remember:
I am excited as I have a stay coming up to use both services.
I love to post promo codes, especially for Canadians only!
This is only valid on rides in Canada, ROAMLIKEHOME.
Login to Uber.com and click Payment. Under Promotions, Active, you should see:
“$25 Off Your Ride. Valid in Canada. For Rogers customers only. Expires 03.31.15”.
It also works on Uber accounts that have already used a referral to sign up for $10-20 credit. If you haven’t signed up for Uber here is the link to get an additional $20 credit.
Enjoy your free taxi/limo rides before March 31, 2015.
New accounts can add an additional $20 credit. Sign-in, go to the promotions page and enter code HIPMUNK to add $25 credit.
The additional credit will show under “additional promotions” and be available when you book your first ride.

I love this website when I want to stay in an expensive city but cannot afford a hotel. This lets you find houses, apartments and even treehouses with great prices. I even have my condo listed (to make extra travel money to get away). (Use our referral and get $25 credit with your first booking)!
You earn $35 in Travel credit when you create an account. Also, $25 off bookings of $250 or more, Code 25OFF. Not bad!
You can now pay for your rides with PayPal!
If you’re on an iPhone or Android, just update your Uber app to the latest version and you’ll be able to add your PayPal account as a payment option. And as a bonus…
