The Offer
- Freebird (app that gives you Uber/Lyft credit/cash back for completing specific actions/visiting retailers etc) is offering an additional $10 back when you use promo code GOLONG. Remember the code needs to be added on Freebird, not Uber or Lyft.
Our Verdict
This in addition to the $35 you can already get for signing up and using a referral code. This new $10 code also works for existing users.
Hat tip to reader Subhuman-Male
New promo for new users: $5 back on 5 rides by entering promo code 5FOR5. My code for $10 on the first ride is [code removed] (sorry for pasting my code here. There is no referral code thread anymore)
So you know the rules and that referrals arent allowed but you choose to just go ahead and post it anyways and apologize in advance for it?

Follow the rules. No codes here.
How can I cash out from FreeBird??
Can these promos be applied to discounted Uber rides? I have credit from the Dr. Pepper promo, and I am sometimes targeted for 30% off rides. Thanks!
I have gotten the percentage off and the cash back offers together in the past. No problem! Not sure about the Dr Pepper also, will be trying that on Thursday.
Thanks – good to know! Please do let us know if it tracks both the cash back and the Dr Pepper offer.
Yes, this worked for me before. Uber automatically applied the coupon for each of my rides so the Freebird app already showed the discounted price when requesting.
Am I the only one who noticed higher fares when requesting a ride through Freebird rather than going to Uber directly?
Fares are updated more frequently on the Uber app, than on Freebird, but Freebird obviously gives you the latest fare from Uber’s servers if you actually try to request a ride, because you’ve to pay Uber directly.
Yup, definitely higher. I only use it when I get these promo codes, which to be fair there have been quite a few of.
Freebird simply uses the Uber API. If anyone’s doing anything suspicious, it’s Uber
Am I the only one freebird doesnt work for? It said it did not have access to uber api
my wife had the same issue, the free bird app mistakenly thinks you are blacklisted. Her lyft account works and able to get the cashback.
Did anyone manage to fix it?
When was that? If that was a while back, you can update the app
Which promo code gets used first? I have 3 and have yet to use any
You can choose
Go to Promo Codes screen and click on which one you want to apply and then book ride. You can confirm on page where it has REQUEST RIDE button which one is being applied before booking the ride
Worked for me! FYI that my offer expires 3/18/2019.
Isn’t this the superbowl one where it has to be a ride to a “big game party” only?
No, you seem to have had misread the terms. At that time, GOLONG was meant for your ride back (basically, any ride).
Isn’t this post old? I had commented it on Feb 10 (https://www.doctorofcredit.com/freebird-25-uber-credit-with-promo-code-atomvip/#comment-719990)
Different promo code.
No, it’s the same (GOLONG)
Yeah, at the time I didn’t realize it worked for existing users. Let me add a h/t
