Uber Description
Uber is a US technology company founded in 2009 that connects riders with drivers through a mobile app. Users request a ride, see the price before confirming, track the driver on a map and pay inside the app. In many cities the same app also offers food delivery through Uber Eats, package delivery and options such as shared or premium rides. Drivers work as independent contractors and choose their own hours, which makes Uber a common topic in side-income and gig economy content. Uber does not run a classic publisher affiliate programme for most markets. Instead it offers referral rewards: existing users can invite new riders, and drivers can invite new drivers. The rewards differ by city and change often, so they are best suited to personal recommendations, blogs about driving for ride-hailing apps and local community pages rather than broad commercial campaigns.

Uber's Referral Program
Uber's referral scheme is run in-house. Rewards are listed at about $5 for each new rider and $30-$50 for each new driver who completes the required trips, with a 30-day window. Rewards are paid into the referrer's Uber account. Amounts and conditions vary by city and change frequently, so check the current offer in the app.
