The Fine Print
- November 6th, 2018
Our Verdict
Lyft is also offering free/50% off rides. I don’t think it’s immediately clear if all Uber users will receive free rides or not, as the screenshot they provide does show fees? I’m a fan of anything that gets more people to vote, regardless of who they vote for. Let’s try to keep the comments section for discussion of this offer rather than your own political beliefs.
Hat tip to TPG
I think you need a second update: “In addition to our work with partners, we will also be offering $10 off a single ride to the polls on Election Day on the most affordable Uber option available in your city (Express POOL, POOL, or UberX, in that order).”
It’s not only not a free ride to the poll ($10 max), but you have to hike to your pickup location (Express Pool).
The release is written by Dara, so we are SURE to see bait and switch! My polling place is over 30 minutes away and has a toll. Hmmm…
I don’t get the dara reference?
“Written by Dara Khosrowshahi”
Dara is the post-kalanick CEO
Is Dara very bait-and-switch?
What if my poll place is right by my home? Sounds like a free ride home from work, beep beep! #NYC
Doesn’t say anything about ride back home, just a ride TO the polling place.
Wonder if we can trade free ride from Uber
For a free lunch from ubereats? 😉
Not sure which is rarer Unicorns or honest politicians.
Somewhat related, has anyone noticed that the “Payments” section in Uber now aggregates all credits together? How can you separate the Amex credits from any other Uber credits/GCs?
Looks like you just tap the number, and it breaks it down into the source of the funds. True on iOS, anyway.
Ah, you’re right (also on iOS). Thanks.
Lock her up!
wat
It’s an anti-Hillary reference. Doesn’t look like he read the whole post or did a bad job with irony
They demanded due process for Kav but still yell lock her up at HRC 🙄
Arguably people are arrested after being charged and it’s hard to convey due process in a three word chant…
“provide free rides to the polls” no mention about a ride back home
2x surge minimum
