Nov. 26--Uber will offer free rides to and from Oakbrook Center through the holidays, an effort, the companies say, to save shoppers the hassle of finding mall parking.
Starting Friday, new and existing Uber users can receive a complimentary ride of up to $60 to Oakbrook Center when they enter the promo code OAKBROOK on the payment screen. To get a free ride back, they must spend at least $150 at the mall and show a shopping receipt to Oakbrook Center's guest services office, which will arrange the ride home.
The promotion, which can be used multiple times, will be offered through the end of the year.
The service is part of San Francisco-based Uber's partnership with Chicago-based mall owner General Growth Properties. In addition to Oakbrook Center, Uber offers the free holiday service to Kenwood Towne Centre, outside of Cincinnati.

A prior version of this story incorrectly stated the promotion was only for new Uber users and for one-time use, based on information provided by the public relations firm representing the mall.
