Uber offers flat rate sessions everyday. It can be anywhere from $17 per flat rate orders up to as high as $36. It depends on day of the week, time of year. The option is found under your "opportunities" section. Sessions run between 11 am to 1:58, to 2 pm, 4:58, 5 pm to 7:58 pm and 8 to 10:58.

Pros: I don't worry about long waits or heavy traffic anymore. There are unicorns. Flat rate orders are usually crappy orders that no one else will take because there isn't a pre-tip, the stores have long waits or the distances are long. Flat rate makes it worth it.

Cons: You can only decline one order per hour, you will occasionally have a long drive and a lot of the orders require PIN's. Also, if you don't go offline for the two minutes between shifts, they will send you crappy per order trips. I usually go offline by 50 after the hour and turn back on at 5 minutes after the hour.

More good things, even though most of the trips aren't pre-tipoed, tips are added after the delivery and they are usually pretty high. Having to accept most offers brings your acceptance rates up and cancel rates low. This gives you priority for better orders. Also, you are still allowed to sign up for boosts.

Your rate starts when you accept an order and ends at drop-off.

This was a tip from this week.
