Hey all,
I will make this post the review post so it will be updated in the course of the next few days.
I'd been having some issues getting the referrals to come through but as of a couple of days ago I received an email from uber congratulating me on receiving a free ride.
Here is an exert from the email I received:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congrats, your friend rode with Uber and now you have a free ride. Hurry—rides expire 3 months from their issue date.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I load the app and go to my payments section, below my credit card information and PayPal account, I can now see that I have a number of free rides.
Each free ride has certain terms though. For example, each code must be used within 3 months of being 'awarded' and they can only be used for up to a set value. This value will depend on the city and country that you live in, but don't expect the ride to cover a long distance journey. I suspect mine will only last for a 7-10 minute ride based on local traffic and the meter.
Another point to note is that the codes don't work for uberTaxi but work for most other ubers.
I tested using one of the codes and it seemed to have worked fine.
I hailed an uber from the station near home (it's about a 10 minute walk) and the fare was then taken from my free ride balance.
To conclude, this service offered by rslsrkr does seem to be what he promises. From my own experience, the free ride did work.
However, I'm yet to try this in a longer route. Should the fare exceed the free ride value, I'll have to see if they deduct that value from my bill or if the free ride only applies to rides that total below the maximum free ride fare. Either way, OP did deliver. He was very nice to deal with and I can say that I hereby vouch for his service of getting users referrals which gives you a free ride of up to a certain value.
I'll update this thread if anything changes with regards to my account and if I have any issues in the future but I don't think this will be an issue.
P.S: It is worth checking out the uber terms relevant to your city.

Other terms include only being able to use one free ride voucher per trip.
Uber may also remove your free rides should they find out that your referral has been posted and shared through web links online which is in breach of their terms.
