Message from Uber support:

In order to sign up for the flat fares packages, you'll need to purchase the fares in your app. You'll then have an option in your menu in the app. - it says "Get Flat Fares". Then you'll be taken to a screen that guides you through the purchase. When you've completed your purchase, you will be able to request rides as normal and only be charged the pre-determined flat fare. These fares do not surge, and the number of trips you can get at these pre-determined flat fares depends on which package you purchased.

Not sure how to get the tab back - talking with uber support, will keep you all updated

I spoke to Uber Support. Looks like though there is a new NYC package structure that was rolled out it's currently "sold out", though it's possible that it's now open to targeted accounts only.

Apparently it's available to purchase, but as above, seems only available to targeted users.
I'm assuming those that used it all up or abused it weren't targeted. I used all my 20 rides and wasn't targeted, though not in an abusive way

there is a lot of miscommunication internally with uber support - some reps said that there are no march flat fares, some said im eligble and sent links (but they didnt work) and others said i have an active package (from last month) and have 3 remaining rides and cant purchase a new one till i use up remaining rides... thing is that my old package expired march 5... going back and forth with support i dont think it has anything to do with people who "abused" or "used it all up"

Can someone who was "targeted" (and purchased the pass) confirm that they had flat fares last month?

Here's my story.  My wife got the flat fare message targeted and I then signed into her account to get the promotion.  I was unable through my account to get the promotion perhaps since I had already used it this past month...

So you are using it under your wife's app or were you able to switch it to yours?

I have 3 accounts on 3 separate phones in my family, neither of them i used it last month. I received the offer only to 2 email accounts not on all 3.
I just purchased now through one of the targeted accounts and it went through. Need to sign in to purchase though

I only used 8 out the 40 rides last month and they haven't sent me an email to renew. The regular link click through tells me it's not available now. I signed up for the notifications

I contacted uber asking for flat fares, they told me limited packages available, try again next month.
And now I was just targetted with an email today.
So keep looking at your promotions inbox

Didn't let me purchase the past few days and the tab for flat fares disappeared. A few minutes ago it reappeared and let me buy. Didn't get an email targetying me. The weir part is the tab didn't show for anyone else in my family.

I finally got the email!!!

Made my day ;)

Some DPs: My flat fare tab also disappeared the other day along with everyone else. I only used 19 of my 20 rides last month, but definitely took well advantage.
