Beware: Uber Business Profiles Uses Your Free Ride Credit
Head’s up: you still can’t choose when to use your Uber ride credit, and that includes when using a linked Uber business profile.
The Uber app now allows for both a personal and business profile, which helps keep work trip expenses separate. But any free ride credit you have for signing up or referring someone will still be applied to your next ride regardless of why.
I just signed up for Uber Business today and to my chagrin, discovered my free ride had been wasted.
So double check your office policy to see if you can still be reimbursed if your free ride is used for business. Otherwise make sure you use your ride credit on a personal trip first!
Creating an Uber Business Profile
It’s easy.
Step 1: Sign up for Uber if you have not already.
Step 2: Go to www.uber.com/business/profiles/ and enter your work email address
Step 3: You will automatically be directed to a log in page for your existing Uber account
Once you log in your emails will be linked and you just need to refresh the app to see multiple program options. If you don’t see that option you might have to update the app to the most recent version.
