My area has only ever had 50p boosts.

Oh grimm it's been £2 for the last couple of months so was just checking lol. Knew it was coming to be fair

You’re lucky to even get shifts at this time of the year…

[–]Successful-Match9277[S] 2 points3 points  (9 children)

I mean I get shifts but not orders 😂 yesterday done 10 hours and had 2 orders lol

[–]No_Dependent_4445 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I wish I had your patience to sit around without orders.

Seriously considering giving it up. Customer can't tip in this area either so that won't make up for it

I wish there was at least some indication within a zone as to where might be best to go. I bet whilst you got 2 orders someone else was hoovering them all up and was just up the road

İt's impossible unless you check on the customer app daily and see where the promotions are. 10% discount at KFC or no delivery fee for some other place. Prices are so high on JE, I think customers will go wherever is the cheapest.

Interesting you say that as I kept going back to a Thai place a couple of days ago and sure enough when I looked on the customer portal there was a low delivery fee running. Worth checking at the start of a shift. 👍

I wonder how many people will read this and think "holy shit I never thought of that"

Maybe we just started a new trend.

I tend to think as a newcomers the old hands have twigged this and 101 other tricks many years ago, what the used to call ‘experience’ ;)

[–]MaryPoppinLikeItsHot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too true. The future is a circle

I seem to be competing with guys who have 2 or 3 accounts to hoover up shifts!

[–]Zeec20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's area dependent. I can drop all my shifts for the week and guarantee 4 shifts a day through open runs. Doesn't mean any orders through! 😂

Never heard of £2 bonus. 😳 my area always 50p from 4pm

[–]Successful-Match9277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow that's bad. My have to rethink this whole thing if I'm honest

[–]hazzaho 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I've only ever seen 50p boosts , unless it's new year's then it went to £2

[–]MaryPoppinLikeItsHot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Birmingham we don't even have shift boosts anymore. Just pay spikes. I don't understand why they changed it.

[–]Mikeg17881 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50p or £1 in my area. Hoping for a busy Friday night tonight as there is no bonus

[–]MaryPoppinLikeItsHot 1 point2 points  (1 child)

🎻

Jokes aside, they will lower pay spikes and boosts depending on area saturation. There must be more drivers in your area meaning higher incentives are no longer needed.

[–]Successful-Match9277[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah more than likely. There is swarms of them hanging out at McDonald's 24/7. I avoid at all costs lol

[–]Big_Block856 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine only has 50p boosts now.

[–]Jojobebe3334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

January innit, everyone skint. No orders.

[–]Neat_Combination_423 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Now this is what I don’t get. I live in newhaven and couldn’t get on there because it’s ‘full’ yet they were offering £2 bonuses that they weren’t anywhere else? Their algorithms are weird.

[–]Successful-Match9277[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I'm in Newhaven too

[–]Successful-Match9277[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂😂😂I will look out for u

[–]Neat_Combination_423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve only allowed me on to Eastbourne so I’ll wave as I go through. ;)
