If you don’t care about whether your personal data is safe, but like using ride-hailing services, boy do I have good news for you.

Denver Union Station and Uber are partnering to provide discounted rides from Tuesday to Christmas Eve.

All you have to do spend $50 or more at any of the nine Denver Union Station restaurants and bars and you’ll get a $5 Uber credit. (To receive the Uber credit, take the Denver Union Station receipt to the Valet stand.)

Well, that and consent to using a technological platform that five former employees say allowed employees broad access to personal data after assurances to the contrary.

Another way to get a discount is to redeem the promo code DUSHOLIDAY for a $10 credit for one in-bound ride to Denver Union Station this holiday season.

So if you’re cool with thousands of people having the ability to look up your ride with “the flimsiest of justifications,” get yourself a cheap ride to the Union Station.
