Tinka Rewards
Built for the ones who keep choosing Tinka.
Every ride, every streak, every referral — Tinka remembers. It's why drivers call Tinka their favourite app to drive with, and why riders (passengers) across the country call it Uganda's most loved way to get around.
For Drivers — Consistency Pays
Real recognition for the drivers who've made Tinka their favourite app to drive with in Uganda — not just whoever logs the most trips this week.
Keep a Streak, Keep the Rewards
Go online every day and watch your streak grow. The longer it stays alive, the more it pays off. Miss a day and it resets — consistency is the whole game.
Weekly Leaderboard
See where you rank against other drivers — Cars and Bodas ranked separately, so you're only ever competing in your own lane.
Driver of the Week
Top performers get crowned every week — one winner for Cars, one for Boda. Recognition that's actually earned, not just a number on a screen.
Achievement Badges
Real milestones, real badges. As you grow with Tinka, your profile grows with you.
For Riders (Passengers) — Every Ride Adds Up
Riding with Tinka isn't just the cheapest way to move in Uganda — it's the one riders (passengers) across the country call their favourite.
Tinka Stars
Every ride earns you Stars. Ride often, and those Stars turn into real savings on future trips.
Tinka Ambassador
Bring your friends onto Tinka. Once enough of them are riding with us, you earn Ambassador status — a badge that says you helped build the Tinka community.
Refer & Earn
Share your code. Once your friend takes their first ride, you both win — check your Refer & Earn screen any time to see what's on offer.
Why we reward loyalty, not just usage
Most drivers and riders in Uganda use more than one app. That's fair — everyone should be free to choose. But Tinka wants to be the one you choose on purpose, not just the one that happened to be open.
So instead of rewarding raw volume — which anyone splitting their time across apps can rack up anyway — Tinka Rewards is built around consistency with Tinka specifically. A streak that resets if you step away. A leaderboard that resets every week, so there's always a new chance to win. Stars that only grow the more you actually ride with us.
It's a simple idea: the drivers and riders (passengers) who keep showing up for Tinka deserve something to show for it — and it's a big part of why Tinka has become Uganda's favourite ride app.
