If you have never used Uber before, its a great new cab service that you can request a ride using your smartphone. The prices aren't necessarily cheaper, but at least competitive with other cab services. For e.g. Palo Alto to SFO costs $80. They also add a 20% gratuity by default, which may be a bit higher than what I would normally tip. But the biggest benefit to using Uber is the convenience: no more calling and waiting for a cab, no more getting worried as to when the cab will arrive, no more searching for phone numbers or haggling for prices. Uber's smartphone app is slickly built and makes hailing a breeze. I wanted to highlight this deal, which lets you get up to $45 in credit (no strings attached). This is a great way to try out the service and see if you like it. So here's how you do it. There are 2 steps to it.
1. Go ahead and click this link to sign up for a new Uber account. This is my referral link and we both get a $20 credit when you take a ride.

2. Then head to Amazon local and get this voucher for $25 for free. You should get a link with your voucher in a few minutes and when you take your first ride, you can apply the voucher. Keep in mind the voucher is only valid till August 10th.
And boom there you go, $45 of free credit to spend on Uber
