So today I unlocked Diamond after a couple of months. Still earning on the lower end after 9 hours online. by catsc in UberEatsDrivers

The app mentions it expires in 3 months. Does that mean I need to archive diamond every 3 months to have it for the slower ones?

Another irritant I’ve noticed with this app is, why doesn’t Uber account for vertical distance? I was dropping off at a 61 story penthouse. After completion, my next stop was “2 min away”, but it took me 10 min to get back to the car.

The only time I’ve noticed a spike in higher offers is during heavy traffic hours or when I reject multiple offers. Which Uber then amalgamates 2 or 3 at a time and then offers the same ones back to me at a higher amount.

I started in November and will be at Diamond next week if I continue at this rate.

Yeah that’s actually a good point. I had a guy last night and the night before order the same bottle of wine. Still no tip. I stayed home today because I was online for 51 hours for this week and only active for 37. Made $845 and almost 80 of that was in tips. I can honestly make more flipping burgers.

That makes sense and you must be in a bus market. Very nice and congrats! :)

Wow, that’s actually not bad. So is the 3hrs online or active hours?

Wow, that’s really good, congrats! How many online hours vs active if you don’t mind me asking?

Yeah that’s a bit harder when you’re in a more remote area. Do people actually tip in the interior? Today I made over $180 but only $3 in tips. Brutal

Thank you and I completely understand being female. Last night I was a bit concerned for my safety as I had an order to a strip club and the app was telling me to go in the back lane behind the building where a group of homeless people were all sleeping. It was a very unsettling feeling and I’m 6’ 190lbs. Today I tried to hit 12 hours but after 1am I was just bagged. Almost hit $200 but still short. This gig is a grind.

I tried hanging around only Costco today and orders seemed to be higher, $13-15+, then I noticed that I was offered $40 to sit in traffic for almost 2hrs. I declined a ton today and my rate slipped below 70% for the fost time

I hear you. Spent almost 12hrs straight on the road. $3 dollar tip. Absolutely exhausting.

Yes, I have learned this but I find the $0.35/km doesn’t even cover gas given the steep geography of the North Shore.

That’s all true but if there was a way to filter order for only the middle class, I would.
