How to check validity of a Uber referral code

Teleport: Get your friends delivered via Uber ride which is already paid without Uber app

Teleport: Get your friends delivered via Uber ride which is already paid

Wanna hangout with friends or call a family member to some location you are hanging out? You are not in mood to explain the address and clearly not in mood to book a ride and have conversation with Uber driver to annoy them.

Here's how it works.

You select which friend you want to send an Uber to and the app sends them a request. When your friend accepts the request, their phone sends the app a location pin, which Teleport uses to send them an Uber. The app then gives them the identifying and arrival information, even if they don't have Uber or Teleport installed on their phone (it works through a web app).

What is standard ride request process for a friend?
Teleport app in browser
Accept ride in Mobile browser


Now, sending someone else an Uber is possible with the standard Uber app, but it's not a smooth process. Teleport's developers describe the hassle pretty well, which requires you to:

Find out where your friend is (which involves waiting for them to respond to your text, which, if you've got flaky friends like we do, could be 20 minutes.)
Check if they're ready, make sure they have pants on, et cetera.
Text them the car type, license plate number, and driver's name. And who doesn't love switching multiple times between the Uber app and text to make sure you copy everything right? (The answer is no one.)
Text them the ETA, because they definitely still haven't put on pants.
Text and/or call them when the car has arrived, hopefully in the right place.
If the car isn't right outside, enjoy jumping on an awkward conference call while you help your friend figure out just where that Swift Dezire ended up.

Some FAQs about Teleport before you may use it...

Is this really teleportation?
   
No, this isn’t true, sci-fi style teleportation. We tried that, but people kept arriving with an extra arm growing out of their forehead. But, until science figures out that whole forehead-arm thing, this is about as close as you’re going to get.
   
how,works,actual,how does it work, how does the app work, how does teleport work 

How is this different from using Uber directly? 
Well, in simple terms, it’s a whole heck of a lot easier. I mean, sure, if you wanted to, you could: 
    
Find out where your friend is (which involves waiting for them to respond to your text, which, if you’ve got flaky friends like we do, could be 20 minutes.) 
  •        Check if they’re ready, make sure they have pants on, et cetera. 
  •        Text them the car type, license plate number, and driver’s name. And who doesn’t love switching multiple times between the Uber app and text to make sure you copy everything right? (The answer is no one.) 
  •        Text them the ETA, because they definitely still haven’t put on pants. 
  •        Text and/or call them when the car has arrived, hopefully in the right place. 
  •        If the car isn’t right outside, enjoy jumping on an awkward conference call while you help your friend figure out just where that Camry Hybrid ended up. 
  •      

     After all that, your friend still doesn’t know where they’re going or how long it will take. Some people love surprises, but a whole lot more don’t. Or, you know, you could just use Teleport. Eliminate all these steps, plus they’ll get a map and everything, just like a standard Uber user. Seems easier, right? 
   
why,use teleport,instead,why would i,what sort,how does this work, how does it work, what is this 

 But my friend doesn’t have Teleport! Surely this must be a problem?
 Nah. They don’t even need to have the app. Teleport away.
   
   who,who can i,download the app 

But my friend doesn’t have an iPhone! I’m totally out of luck, right?
Again, nah. They’ll get a link to a web app. We thought of everything.
   
   my friend has android,my friend has microsoft phone,my friend has windows,ios,nokia,tablet,samsung 

 But my friend doesn’t use Uber. Betcha didn’t think of that, geniuses.
 But we did. As before, they don’t need to have the Uber app to get Teleported. They can just use the web app we mentioned above.
 This is so cool, do you have an Android version? 
 First of all, thanks for saying it’s cool. We think YOU’RE cool. As for an Android version, expect it in early 2016. Android users can still accept teleports however, so your one friend Sheila with the Samsung Galaxy isn’t stranded.
   
    Can you teleport multiple people at the same time? I’m throwing myself a birthday party in 25 minutes. 
 We’re working on it, but for now, unfortunately, you can only teleport one person at a time. Happy birthday!
   
   can i chain friends, multiple friends, 
    Who pays for the Teleport? 
    The sender pays for the teleport. So if you receive a Teleport, it’s free. If you send a teleport, well, you’re a great friend.
   
   do i have to pay,does my friend pay,how much does it cost,does the app cost money 
    How do you know my friend’s location? Have you been tracking them for years!?
 Whoa, whoa. Calm down. Your friend just drops a pin when they receive the Teleport request. That’s it.
   
   privacy, sharing, share my location, neighborhood sharing,stalker 
 What does my friend see when they get teleported? 
    They’ll see an ETA on the uber and a map to the final location. They’ll also see the driver’s name, license plate number, and driver number.
   
   what is it like to receive a teleport, receive a request, what happens when,how does this work, how does it work, do you give me your friends estimates, do you give my friend estimates of 

Does my friend know where they are being teleported to? 
Yup. They’ll see where they’re going on one of those old navigational stand-bys: a map. 
   what is it like to receive a teleport, receive a request, what do they see when teleported, what happens when, do you tell my friend, do you give my friend 
    Can I teleport anyone from anywhere? 
Within a 100 mile limit, yes. We work anywhere Uber does. Which is all around the world. But, unfortunately, your friends in Juneau, Alaska are likely out of luck. But we’re working on expanding this radius.
      where does this work,where does this app work,where does it work, asia, china, europe, uk, london, paris, california, new york, united states, japan, tokyo, international, overseas,what if they are not in the US,what if they are in asia 
 This is cool, when should I Teleport someone? 
 Teleport someone you haven’t seen in a while and reconnect. Teleport your tech-averse grandpa to Thanksgiving dinner. Teleport your mom to see your new apartment. Teleport your friend who’s too lazy to come out, even though it’s Friday, and that guy/girl they like is at the bar. Teleport that “special” friend to Netflix and chill. Teleport Leonard Nimoy somewhere, just because it would be funny.
   
   who uses Teleport,who can i use teleport on, what are some examples of how to use,how do i use teleport,how do i teleport,when would i use teleport,when would i teleport,when should i use teleport 
   Does my friend have to agree to be teleported? 
   Yes. Your friend has to accept the Teleport request. Otherwise, this would be “kidnapping,” which is a felony.
   OK, I downloaded the Teleport App. Now what? 
    Try sending a teleport to a friend, or add your friends who are already on the Teleport platform.
    Why add friends if Teleport works with anyone anyways? 
    There are a couple cool extra features that will be enabled. For example, if your friend has location services turned on, you can get an estimate of how much it will cost to teleport them, and how long it will take. 
Does Teleport work with Lyft or Gett? 
We currently only integrate with Uber’s API. But we work anywhere Uber does. Which is all around the world.

How can you regain access of your Uber account once it's disabled?

Update: Banned account is a pain, I have many friends who got locked out form Uber due to suspicious activity, some got their account enabled again after some conversation with Uber support and mostly are banned for life. Here is one scenario when you account may get banned. Read this story till end to get the idea.

Q. How can you regain access of your Uber account once it's disabled?

Recently uber had this scheme of "refer someone, that refferal gets 600 credits and you get 600 when he makes his/her first ride".

I made many people join , though all refferals were real and accounts were created with their permission and presence but all accounts were created from my phone .

I earned many credits. But soon my account was closed down.
Now whenever I try logging in from any acount in my phone  it gets banned within few minutes.

Is there any solution or any hack to avoid this and get my acount back ? I still have 5k credits left in my account and I desperately want it.

Soluti…
