Uber and United Team Up, Up to 1,000 Bonus United Miles
August 20, 2014
Uber is my favorite way to get around. I no longer call or flag down taxis. And on a recent trip to San Francisco and Los Angeles, I didn't rent a car, using Uber to get around instead.
Uber is the world’s best taxi service because it has clean, courteous drivers and the easiest ride-ordering app imaginable. Tap, tap, tap, and a car whose progress you can track towards you is on its way.
Now Uber and United have teamed up, with United putting an Uber button directly in the United app.

About My Fandom
My sister started at UVA in 1995, and my brother followed in 1997. He was a fan of the teams that featured Hand, Hall, Watson, Mason, and others.
