Don’t forget! 2 Free Uber rides – up to $65 each from select airports
Tis the season! This offer has been circulating around for a little while now and it’s a stellar offer if you can use it and hold an Amex. 2 free Uber rides – up to $65 each from select airports and you can redeem it until December 31st! Uber loses money faster Santa delivers packages, so hopefully they’re making some dough on this! It feels like they’re giving away rides left and right. Probably because they plan to profit off all their customer’s personal information…after all they will track everything you do even after you close the app, and their driverless cars will soon form a SkyNet army that only John Connor could rescue us from….so we might as well get while the getting is GOOD! After all…who wouldn’t let strangers track their every move when they can get $130 worth of free airports rides?! In full disclosure and despite my sarcasm…I use Uber all the time – it’s so addictive and so if LYFT! I love them both. And I love Amex. Anyways…here’s the deets on the deal.
$65 bones worth of airport transfer! Two times!
Which airports?

Happy Uber-ing
