As promised last month by a partnership between AA and Uber, Executive Platinum members are receiving their free Uber credit for a $25 ride!
AA Exec Plat Members: Check Your E-Mail For Your Uber Credit
As a bonus for Executive Platinum members who qualified for this year, AA said they would send out promo codes on March 15 (today) to those members. The promo code is for new riders or people who have already used Uber and are good for $25 towards a ride. This is a nice gesture from AA for their top tier members!
Check your e-mail as they are being sent out and you do not want it getting stuck in a junk folder. The subject reads Exclusive reward: $25 off your next Uber ride. It comes with a unique code you use to apply to your Uber account when you want to use the $25 credit. It is good all the way through December 31, 2016 so plenty of time to use it!
New To Uber? Get Your Other Free $20!
If you are not yet an Uber rider, make sure you sign-up through one of the many affiliate links by hotels or airlines to get another $20ish credit to go with your $25 from this offer.
In addition to this new referral partnership, AA is trying to sweeten the deal by offering 2 bonus miles (total of 3 miles) per dollar when you use your AAdvantage Aviator Mastercard to pay for your Uber rides. This additional bonus is available through July 31, 2016.
To sign up for Uber and take advantage of the first free ride (up to $20), use code RIDEAA when you sign up here.
I’m curious – does the Uber driver lose out on this one, or does Uber/AMEX pay him for the that “free” ride.
AA pays for the credit. It is a benefit from them.
