CES 2017 Visitors Get Free UberX Rides up to $10 from Sprint
Riders can also cash in on a free UberCHOPPER ride of the Las Vegas
Strip
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sprint (NYSE:S) is teaming up with Uber to help attendees skip the long
cab lines during CES®. Building on previous successful
collaborations with Uber, Sprint is providing free UberX rides (up to
$10) from the Las Vegas Strip or McCarran International Airport to the
Las Vegas Convention Center from Jan. 5-8.
It’s simple and easy for CES attendees to take advantage of this offer.
Uber enables users to simply push a button and find out how to get a
ride. Riders simply have to open the Uber app and they will see a
special Sprint vehicle view that riders can select to take an Uber to or
from the convention center for free up to $10. This will be available to
riders from the Strip or downtown. It’s a seamless way to get to the Las
Vegas Convention Center and with $10 off your ride, there’s no better
time to tap the app!
In addition to free rides to the convention center, Sprint is also
providing free UberCHOPPER rides1 of the Las Vegas Strip from
Jan. 5 through Jan. 8. Just open the Uber app and enter the promo code
“SPRINTCHOPPER” to unlock the free promotion. Once the ride has been
initiated, an Uber will pick up riders from the Convention Center and
take them to the UberCHOPPER lounge at the Maverick helipad. They will
then board a helicopter and fly high above the Strip.
“Our continued partnership with Uber brings exciting and unique offers
to this year’s CES attendees,” said Jim Hyde, president, Affiliates and
Wholesale-Sprint. “Sprint is making sure CES attendees will be
transported in style with UberX rides to the Las Vegas Convention Center
and a premium view of the Las Vegas Strip after the show from a free
UberCHOPPER ride.”
Riders who take advantage of this great offer will also have the
opportunity to receive a $200 Uber rider credit when they switch to
Sprint2.
“Collaborating with Uber allows us to deliver innovative offers that
provide value to consumers, which is exactly what Sprint and Uber are
all about,” Hyde said.
“We are excited to partner with Sprint to provide a reliable and
affordable transportation option for CES attendees,” said Eric Wimer,
Uber general manager. “Navigating Las Vegas during CES just got a whole
lot easier with free rides of up to $10 sponsored by Sprint.”
Now is the perfect time to switch to Sprint and get the Best Unlimited
Plan – unlimited data, talk and text. Customers can get two lines of
Unlimited for $100 a month and enjoy unlimited mobile optimized
streaming videos, gaming, music and data3. And, unlimited 4G
