How do I use an invite that was sent to me from someone else?

Community Answer

Go onto the Uber app. On the top left, there will be options. Press that and there should be something that says "invites." Press that and type your friend's name.

How much do I earn if I refer my friend to Uber?

You don't earn money. You will only get a discount for a ride. Try telling a bunch of friends to download Uber and use your code; this will give you more discounts if you want to have a ride.
