Uber Philly Launches, Offers 20% Off Rides Home from Center City Sips

Ever plan a night out with friends and wish for an easy way to get everyone around? Found yourself leaving a bar with no taxis in sight and a serious desire to be home in your bed? How about sweeping your date off his feet with a pick up in a personal black car? All of this is now at your fingertips with the official launch of Uber in Philadelphia. What’s more, the service is offering a 20% discount for all rides home from Center City District Sips on June 13.

San Franciso-based Uber is currently in more than seven cities around the globe, with more to come, and Philly is the newest addition to the stable. To redeem the Sips deal, sign up for Uber and download the smartphone app. A credit card number is kept on file, so when you use the car, no money changes hands — no fumbling for cash or being disdained by a cab driver who doesn’t want to run your card. There’s also no worry about calculating a tip.

When you’re ready to head home from one of the participating Sips bars, first enter the promo code CenterCitySips12, then request your car. You’ll get a time estimate about when your driver will arrive. The drivers have your mobile number (entered when you first sign up), so when they get close, or if any questions arise, they’ll text or call you.

Uber contracts with professional, local drivers, so expect great service — they might even hold the door open for you. Step in, chat if you like, or just crash on the seat, and experience a smooth ride home. When the ride is over, you’ll get an emailed receipt, showing your 20% discount (if you entered the promo code before ordering the car). You can also rate the driver from one to five stars the next time you launch the app. Sips has never been so elegant.
