Yes Please – Uber Are Celebrating Their Birthday Tomorrow By Giving Everyone Free Cupcakes

Fridays are for post-work drinks and bad decisions, but you won't find us saying no to free cupcakes either. A few taps of your phone and you're in luck.

I must say I enjoy a good birthday razzle, but all that present-buying can become a little over the top.

I know we’re friends, and I’ll definitely stop by for the free food and drinks,but are we that good friends that I need to buy you a gift?

Then there’s Uber South Africa, who we’ve come to know and love, who celebrate their third birthday tomorrow. Hurrah, but the best bit is they’re actually giving us gifts instead of the other way around.

It’s simple – from 11AM on Friday (23 September), they’ll be delivering cupcakes from tasty local bakeries – and it’s FREE!

Riders across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth can request 2 decadent cupcakes from local bakeries Cupcake Boutique, The Velvet Cake CoCupcakery and Savannah Bakes, at the simple tap of a button.

Here are the sweet deets:

  • Open your Uber app between 11AM – 1PM on Friday, 23 September 2016.
  • Slide across to the ‘UberCUPCAKE’ view and request a ride as normal.
  • If successful, your Uber will arrive and deliver 2 delicious cupcakes for free.
  • PRO TIP: While we want to provide cupcakes to everyone in SA, demand is going to be incredibly high. So if you don’t see any cupcakes available, don’t worry – open the app a few minutes later and try again!

Go on, it’s a Friday and you deserve to treat yourself.

A friendly reminder before the weekend kicks off – don’t be like this fool below (the real fun begins around 1:45), grab an Uber and arrive alive.
