Since the Justice Department announced that Robert Mueller found no criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, President Donald Trump has urged Americans to toss the whole Russia investigation aside as a waste of time. It’s true the special counsel didn’t find an agreement between Trump’s campaign and the Russian government to influence the 2016 election, and he decided not to make a call on whether the president obstructed justice. But Mueller did find other crimes — including some committed by people close to the president — and he exposed a coordinated assault on American democracy aimed at helping Trump win. Over a 22-month investigation, the special counsel’s team put together perhaps the most definitive story of the Trump campaign and Russia.
Uber's most loyal customers will soon be rewarded for their devotion.
The ride-sharing app announced Wednesday that it is launching a loyalty program called Uber Rewards.
Washington, D.C., Miami, New York and Philadelphia are among the nine cities where the new loyalty program will first be available. The program will expand to all U.S. riders in the coming months, CNBC reports.
Uber's program is free and will have four tiers: Blue, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Customers will earn one point for every dollar spent on Uber Pool and Uber Eats, $2 for UberX and $3 for luxury Uber rides. Riders will move up the program's tiers as they earn more points.
With each tier comes different benefits. Customers who are considered Gold members can get their cancellation fee refunded if they rebook an eligible trip within 15 minutes. At Platinum, you can lock in a lower price between your two favorite destinations, Uber says.
But Uber isn't the only ride-sharing app starting a rewards program. Earlier this week, Lyft announced it was launching its own loyalty program called Lyft Rewards in December, according to CNBC.
