Anyone interested in coming with me to the airport to make some cold cash? 

Go around to each person with a smartphone and put the code in and tell them I charge you $15 and take you anywhere in brooklyn! Or tip of manhattan!

One slight problem is who said they won't be charged after the ride? (they won't believe you, unless you show them the promotion applied and show them you saved them $20+....

Lol :) ;)

Wrong promo. That was last time from LGA.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Uber said they are having tech issues with the promo, should be fixed within 48 hours.

I'm near LGA, so if I request an Uber from LGA and call the driver and tell him to start the trip but pick me up elsewhere, would the promo still work?

Why wouldn't it.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Those are both very unlikely.

Thanks. Have never done anything of that sort before.

What's the best way to do it? Enter my pickup address as the destination and give the driver the new address when he picks me up?

This place is being overrun with scammers. Sad.

American Express wants to take a little stress out of holiday traveling by partnering with Uber to offer US cardholders two free rides home from select major US airports (up to $65 per ride) through December 31, 2016.

To claim your $130 in savings, you simply need to enter AMEXAIRPORT in the promotions tab within the Uber app and make sure that your American Express card (prepaid cards aren’t eligible) is the selected method of payment, and then $65 will be taken off the total cost of your ride after you’ve made it home. To be eligible for this promotion, rides must originate at one of the following airports:

Boston (BOS)
Chicago (ORD and MDW)
Houston (IAH)
Las Vegas (LAS)
New York (EWR, LGA and JFK)
Seattle (SEA)
Washington, D.C. (DCA and IAD)

So sorry for those who missed it.
I am grateful to Uber, to Dan, and to those here on DDF who let me know about it.
It saved me from going to EWR and JFK in the last week to pick up people.
