I’ve written about Uber a few times before (here and here).  It’s the next best thing in transportation: on-demand car service with infinitely better reliability – and often cheaper rates – than taxis.  Normally, Uber offers a free $10 bonus credit for signing up for a new account when you are referred by an existing member.  They’ve kicked off the new year by doubling that bonus to $20…but only through tomorrow (January 31).  If you don’t already have an Uber account, now is the time to sign up!

I was in Charlotte, NC last weekend and we were a ways out into the suburbs…with the tap of an iPhone app, we had a car on the way to pick us up.  We could track the car as it came to us…we knew exactly when the car was pulling up, without standing outside in the cold.

The $20 sign up bonus credit doesn’t expire, and signing up only takes about 60 seconds, so you’d be silly NOT to sign up!  Why not get yourself $20 in free credit to use in the future?  You can use my referral link (we both get $20), or you can feel free to post your own referral link in the comments for others to use.

You can see a list of Uber’s current cities here – they’re currently in 26 countries around the world and are spreading like crazy.  Don’t miss out on the chance to get a free $20.
