SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Uber
Technologies, Inc. and Shop Your Way, a business unit of Sears
Holdings (NASDAQ: SHLD), announced a strategic relationship that
allows drivers and riders to earn Shop Your Way points on trips
they make with Uber. The new program leverages the scale of Shop
Your Way, its tens of millions of members, and the footprint of
Sears Auto Centers to provide unique benefits for drivers and
riders with the world's leading rideshare service.
"We're always looking for new, innovative ways to make the Uber
experience more rewarding for drivers and riders," said
David Richter, vice president of
Business Development at Uber. "This agreement with Shop Your Way
makes saving up for a needed household appliance or a shopping
spree as easy as giving or taking a ride with Uber."
Launching today, Uber riders and Driver Partners can now earn
Shop Your Way points in multiple ways, including:
- Uber Rider Rewards: Riders who link their Uber
account to Shop Your Way at shopyourway.com/uber will have
potential to receive unlimited Shop Your Way points, up to
$2 in points for every trip with
Uber. The Rider Rewards program is currently available in
Chicago and New York City with a nationwide rollout to
follow. As a special nationwide incentive, Shop Your Way members
who sign up to ride with Uber for the first time will receive their
first trip free, up to $15, and
$5 in points.
- Uber Driver Partner Rewards: New Driver Partners
who sign up to drive with Uber at shopyourway.com/uber can earn up
to $1,000 in Shop Your Way points*.
Additionally, Uber and Shop Your Way will issue hundreds of
thousands of dollars in Shop Your Way points to thousands of
current Uber Driver Partners in Chicago, Los
Angeles, Miami,
New York City and San Francisco who simply enroll in the
program.
- An Uber Preferred Maintenance Provider: Sears
Auto Centers, with hundreds of locations nationwide, will serve as
one of Uber's Preferred Maintenance Providers for its fleet of
drivers, offering exclusive discounts and points. Uber Driver
Partners will receive 50 percent off all oil changes and 30 percent
back in points on all labor at Sears Auto Centers.
"At Shop Your Way, we are relentless in our pursuit to work with
top-tier brands to bring more meaningful benefits to our members
and this agreement with Uber is a perfect example," said
Leena Munjal, senior vice president,
customer experience and Integrated Retail, Sears
Holdings. "Just as Uber uses technology to connect riders and
drivers and revolutionized an industry, we're using technology to
surround our members with more opportunities to earn points and add
value to their membership, whether they're in a store, online or
on-the-go."
To celebrate this collaboration, Uber and Shop Your Way have
launched a special promotion. Now through the end of the year, Uber
and Shop Your Way are awarding $10,000 in points every month to Uber Riders who
have linked their Uber account to Shop Your Way. Every time they
ride, members will be automatically registered for the chance to be
one of 1,000 winners.**

and loyalty platform where members can earn and redeem points on
everyday purchases. To learn more and read terms and conditions,
