I've gotten discounts on both Uber and Lyft. Lyft has the half or $5 off deal that appears once in a while, and Uber has discounts for 25% or 50% off. When they appear may depend on how often you take the service, I don't really know. I just know I get them every so often. I got another yesterday for Uber running through next Monday morning which takes off 50 percent. I've also gotten promotions to pay one low fare for a month of rides, like $2.99 for Uber Pool or $6.99 for UberX. This does depend on where you live and is not offered everywhere. I haven't paid those month long prices though since I don't take these services often enough to justify the low price.
