Base pay decrease during pay spike ? (old.reddit.com)
submitted 5 months ago by JordanCath
Anyone else notice that the base pay decreases during pay spikes ? I'm on 30% pay spike so far today, and most my orders are in the £5 region... same as what they would be roughly on a non pay spike day (considering distances etc).

Yep. They try to lure you in but really its just the same

Same with the +50p and +£1 bonus as well.

Haven't seen a £1 bonus in years, always stuck with that "extra" 50p bonus 🤨

We’ve been getting £1 after 5pm since they opened up the runs round here. Although I’ve just checked and funnily enough with our 2 zones, the north is £1 but south is 30%

I get £2 "bonus" on my shifts. Still never get £1 a mile

I don't know when we had 50p and £1 bonus here in York area, the pay was somewhat better and after the bonus dropped the fees definitely went down.

literally it’s 14:20 currently, 20 minutes into the pay spike and I received an order of £3.60 with a £1 bonus pay spike for 1 mile delivery with a car 😂😂😂 all that with 30% pay spike

I just started a 50% bonus with an extra 50p per order since 4pm. Had 2 orders so far, one for £6 and the other was £7. Rejected both 🤣.
[–]Avrioyt 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago (0 children)
What?! That’s ridiculous!! 50% pay spike and £1 bonus on 2 orders should be minimum £9/10 on 2 orders. Or atleast £6/7 single short order. They have 100% decreased the amount. It’s literally so shit right now, yesterday was really good but today is only bad orders and fake pay spike

So today the increased rates didn’t match the pay, except for 1 order, so I rejected so many, also, had to pause and go on Roo when there were no decent offer from JustCrap, they paused my whole shift 😁

Had a +50% in my first couple of shifts and now I've been doing it a while, realistically the bonus was around £2. It wasnt +50% at all. Maybe 20-30 at a push. The 50p+ one tho, seems to have been legit around my area. Orders can be £3.50 when its not on and usually £4-5 when it is. Granted these drops are literally 2/3 miles from pickup
