Why a @Uber_DC x InTheCapital Launch Meetup collaboration makes sense.
In case you have been sleeping under a rock, living on Mars or just didn’t care… We are having our launch meetup Wednesday Feb,1. Click here if you haven’t already RSVP’d
We have decided to partner with another innovative startup in the spirits industry. ArtInTheAge. They make a great product that we are featuring called SNAP. It’s amazing, we love it, case closed.
Having said all of that, we are aware that there is a huge responsibility that comes with providing high quality free booze. So to alleviate the conundrum of you fine attendees to have to drink and drive, we have decided to partner with Uber DC to ensure that you can get home safe and in style.
We have been providing you with up-to-date information regarding the trials and tribulations of Uber’s launch and disruption in the DC Taxi Market. This way you can finally see what the hype is all about, assured that you have a safe ride home, giving you ample time to imbibe amazing liquor, relish the delectable fragrances, dwell on it’s fine ingredients… I digress. We just want you guys all to get home safely and in style. Nothing more.
So for all of you new users, Uber will give $10 towards your ride home. Getting this hook-up is pretty simple: new users can input promo code [InTheCapital] at Uber.com or in their Uber app to receive $10 off your first ride.
There are three steps to taking your ride:
1. Sign up at Uber.com or through the Uber App and enter the promo code InTheCapital. You can download the mobile app from your phone or on your computer in the Apple or Android app stores.
2. Open the app, tag your location, request a ride, and watch your chauffeured black car pull up within minutes.
3. Ride like a G.
Don’t have a smartphone? No Problem. Once you’ve signed up on the Uber website just text “GO” to 827-222 to get started and request a car through SMS. More details on using Uber by text message are here.
