Uber is very simple now that you downloaded the app ... click the the toolbar in the top left corner of your phone and hit Promotions ... enter 2qc6t and apply to get $20 off 1st ride ... make sure you also enter your debit/credit card or Paypal or ApplePay or GoogleWallet ... they take all forms of payment
Lyft you also download the app, and when it downloads and says Signup, use the Signup with Facebook as its quicker and puts a picture with your profile that shows up for the driver to find you easier, if dont have FB its just a small extra step of adding email address ... once the app loads up go to toolbar which is the little circle in top left corner, click that and then Payment ... enter your form of payment FIRST and then right below that you will see a little pink Lyft logo that says Enter Lyft Credit Code and tap and type ANDY 738911 ... it will give you the current city promo which is $50 here in Nashville but will be at least $20 in all cities
since Vegas will be crazy packed, here are a couple of PRO tips ... when you want to Request Ride do NOT hit the pin ... TYPE the location, ie, Caesars Palace or wherever you are ... you can also TEXT or CALL your driver which is VERY cool and helps all ... go to top right corner of app and click that toolbar ... then you can contact the driver and tell them you are "at the valet or front door" ,,, or "standing on corner in front of such and such" ... you can also tell them what you are wearing and ask what kind of car and color they are driving ... makes it SO much easier and seamless
if there are more than 4 needing rides at one time then you have other options ... on Uber you can request bigger rides along the bottom of the app when you are ready to Request ... on Lyft it is the Lyft Plus option ... they cost a little more but still cheaper and MUCH nicer rides than cabs
if ALL of you going have never used either app before, use these directions and codes and thats A LOT of FREE rides :0074 ... you can also give anyone my # with any questions in downloading or using :0008
HAVE FUN and wish I could join :0008

Pretty sure holding the deuce ONLY was the correct play.
How are you getting around with no car?
Send me your cell so I can contact you after I checkin on Wednesday.

yep that is what is here ... think you may have made a mistake and got the Indy rate? everyone wait til your GPS resets to Vegas to download Lyft as the promotion is different in each city ... I HOPE that applies to Vegas for you :0074
also another small difference in the 2 apps is tipping ... both apps are cashless but the Lyft allows you to add a tip to end of ride ... Uber you have to actually give driver a tip
they are not expected but greatly appreciated ... I get like 1 tip in every 20 Uber rides but I get 1 in 3 on Lyft just because you can add it your ride and card
Yes, I got the Indy rate and neither are available in Columbus. I prob won't get shit. :facepalm:
But that's cool because I've heard it's a much better service than cabs and damn near half the price.
my bad I should have told you to wait on Lyft til your GPS resets in Vegas :facepalm:
UBER is the same everywhere with the promo for 1st time rides ... Lyft may still give you the 1st time discount in Vegas
its always good to have both to play against each other ... you can see who the nearest driver is on each and choose the nearest which shouldnt be a problem with either in Vegas lol ... big thing is price increases and they are called different things on each ... Uber is called SURGE and NEVER take one greater than 2.0 which means double ... the app will ask if you agree to SURGE or do you want a text when it drops ... LYFT is called Prime Time and goes by % like 25-50% more and never go over 100% on these
my good buddy here was just in Vegas last week and he said they used Uber/Lyft all week and will never get in a cab again and use it all the time in Nashville when he is gonna have a cocktail or go somewhere where have to pay for parking
dun
is Uber allowed to pick up passengers at airports ?
we have family coming in Hartsfield and I want to start using service.
also if wife and I use Uber to go out for drinks, Will the same driver pick us up 2 hrs later?
thanks
Jack,
Wouldn't you think that as long as you have not used the codes for any rides, you could still load the Vegas codes and use them?

It varies by city for pickups ... this is the thing cabs fight the hardest for rideshare companies is picking up from airport because many times they are long rides they want full control ... there will be a dedicated spot to pickup for rideshare companies and it wont be right outside at baggage claim ... here in Nashville you just go to ground level and its across the street from the cab stand ... there will be instructions in the app of each city when you request a ride on whee to go OR you can call the driver and ask where to be picked up ... can ALWAYS use to to dropoff at any airport
to answer your 2nd question is unfortunately NO ... it will GPS to the nearest driver to your cell phone ... now if you want to get his direct phone # and arrange for them to be right where you are then there is a good chance to get that person ... I wish that was possible as I have some of the highest ratings here and always getting asked if people could request me on next rides ... its a protection to keep from monopolizing the market and make it fair for all drivers ... even shitty ones :mj07:
