Celebrating 5 years in Dubai: Join the hunt to get 5 years worth of rides!

December 18, 2018 / Dubai

This year marks our fifth year in Dubai and we wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for our loyal riders and partner drivers. To celebrate, we’re running a city-wide Instagram treasure hunt to find the #5YearPromoCode. Starting on Thursday, 20th of December from 1:00pm-5:00pm, a secret promo code will be split into 5 parts and hidden across 5 Instagram posts, with each post tagged at a different location in Dubai.

By finding and entering 5 parts of the promo code, you’ll stand a chance to score 5 years worth of rides. All you need to do is follow our hourly clues on Instagram Stories to find the parts of the code and race to be the first to enter the full promo code into your app (terms and conditions apply).

5 years worth of rides. 5 parts of a promo code. 5 hours to find them.

How it works

Step 1: Keep an eye on our Instagram Stories @Uber_UAE, from 1:00pm on December 20th for hourly location clues.

Step 2: Once you guess the location, search for it using the ‘Places’ search function on Instagram.

Step 3: Check the recent posts tagged to the location.

Once you find the Instagram post with the hidden part of the promo code, make a note of it and wait for the next clue.

Step 4: Once you have all 5 parts of the code, enter the full promo code into your Uber app.

Wait to see if the 5 years worth of rides are yours.
