Uber is a pretty awesome app. I’ve done day trips to cities like Chicago and NYC without having to rent a car thanks to UberX rides that are cheaper than a taxi and far more convenient. And while people wait for an hour in the taxi line I breeze right into a waiting car.

You can get a free $20 Uber ride via this referral link.

Uber is also fantastic for food delivery. Stuck in Miami airport during a delay or connection with no kosher food? Make an order with a restaurant on 41st st in Miami Beach and pay for it over the phone.  Just confirm with them that you’ll be using Uber and ask if they can bring it out to the Uber driver when you call them back.
When the food is ready just have Uber go to the restaurant address and text or call the Uber driver to let him know what you’re trying to do. When the driver is at the restaurant just call the restaurant and have them bring the food out to the driver.  Food delivered from Shemtovs, House of Dog, or Miami Beach Chocolates to the airport will run you just $15 (free for new Uber users). I’ve done that flawlessly in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, and NYC.

You can link your Starwood account with your Uber account to earn Starpoints when you Uber.

These Starpoints come on top of bonus points you can earn with your credit card. All American Express Membership Rewards cards earn an additional point per dollar on Uber spending (hence the 3 points per dollar earned on Uber with Everyday Preferred). Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card also earns double points for Uber spending.  In fact you shouldn’t use a Starwood AMEX for Uber as other cards are more valuable and you can earn these bonus Starpoints no matter what card you use.

Does the promo code need to be entered while I’m in Manhattan?

Will

I don’t see Royals on my app.. Help

shiframeir

Js

How do you request this after you sign up?

shiframeir

@Will, put in the code and enter. then on your normal page move the dial all the way to the right (even if it is grey showing not available) over the word Royals. then choose a location for fare estimate in the manhattan area, and request even if none available, i am showing some that would come.

@Dan, I could have sworn I got a notice from uber that they are changing their T&C and you need to book w/ SPG card (or have it in profile) in the future, effective 30 days from when I got the notice. Don’t see changes to the T&C and can’t find that notification. Have you heard of anything like this?

Andrew

Just did it. Was amazing. Will post a tr layer on

@EJB:
That’s not what the letter said.

@Andrew:

tried all night yesterday while i was in bloomingdales and none available:(

You need to keep requesting even if it says it’s not available. One will pop up for a few seconds and you want to be mid-request when that happens!

I took it from work to Penn Station instead of my usual CitiBike commute 🙂

Ari

Remember: You need to complete one qualifying SPG® stay this calendar year to earn Starpoints® with Uber®.

Chaimel

Kosher food shipped via a Uber driver needs to be packaged in a way to verify that it wasn’t tampered with or it loses it’s kosher status. Ask your Posek for details.

Dan

@Chaimel:
Restaurants typically send food with the bag taped.
