Uber riders know they can get a free $20 credit toward future rides by signing up their friends for the on-demand limo and taxi service. But Blake Jareds, who works at a New York-based real estate startup, took this to the extreme recently by signing up so many people he earned $50,000 in credits.
“Free Uber for life, essentially,” he says.
Unfortunately, his credit was canceled and his account was flagged after he gave one driver a one-star review, he says.
