Yes, you read it right. You can now sign up for an Uber rider account without a credit or debit card. For now, this is working on android devices only. Signing up for an account through the iOS (iPhone/iPad) app or through a browser still requires credit or debit card registration.

Signing up through the Uber app

1. Download the Uber app to your android phone.

2. Open the app, then select REGISTER.
    (Note: You might need to enable Location Services for a seamless process)

3. Fill-in your name, email, mobile # and password. You can also use your Google or Facebook  account. Click NEXT when done.

4. Click PROMO  CODE, enter "UBERCEBUTIPSUE" or "ubercebutipsue", then click APPLY.

5. Select "Cash" in the payment method. If there is no Cash option, make sure that your phone's Location Services is enabled.

6. Enter the verification code sent to you via SMS. Click RESEND THE TEXT if you did not receive it.

Once the verification is completed, the app will automatically proceed to the home screen. You can now start to request for a car!
