Free Rides on Uber, 3X United Airlines Miles, and More!
1. Free Rides on Uber
Get a free Uber ride in downtown San Diego from 10 am to 10 pm through July 11, 2015.
A map of included areas can be found here. With Comic-Con in town give yourself plenty of time to get where you need to be. Because the downtown area is hoppin'.
Be sure to select the "COLONY" option when you request your ride.
New to Uber? You can get $20 in Uber credit when you sign-up using my link (and I get a $20 credit too).
2. 3X United Airlines Miles
Through September 13, 2015, you'll get 3X United Airlines miles when you book with SuperShuttle. But you have to book online or via the SuperShuttle app and use promo code Q9WUD.
Remember to add your MileagePlus account number to the reservation.
3. IHG Adds New Elite Category
Got Platinum status with IHG? Guess what, you're no longer top dog.
IHG has added a new elite category, "Spire," that trumps the Platinum level. Hmm, must be all those Platinums via the IHG credit card with few actual stays at IHG hotels...
You'll earn Spire elite status after staying 75 nights at IHG hotels or earning 75,000 qualifying points in a calendar year. Unfortunately, the sign-up bonus from the IHG credit card does NOT count towards elite status.
What's your source to say that credit card sign-up points do not count towards the status? I would imagine that the sign-up points would count towards "partner rewards" which the fine print says are EQP (Elite Qualifying Points).
Hi Justin,
The IHG rep posted on FT that the sign-up bonus does not count - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/24663657-post81.html.
