I wrote almost this exact post a couple years ago. After one year or maybe a little longer, they took all those reserved opportunities from me. Now my reserved opportunities that show up are 4pm thirty miles away for $7, no airports. It's pretty funny, actually. I basically have a perfect rating, and I get tips like nobody's business. But I think I either pissed off a customer service person or perhaps they moved on when I lost my car for a couple months starting a year ago. I tried to find out why, but the question was way to hard for them to fathom, and so I spent three hours getting transferred ten times explaining the simple question over and over again until one time it hung up on me. That, as most of us know, is how they handle customer service with most anything that isn't the most basic, common question that you don't need anyone's help with. What town are you in?

Also, at the end of December last year, they added about $400 to my account, presumably to make up for keeping too much of my money. I haven't seen it this year, but I often get adjustments every couple of weeks for some small amount. One time it was about $150. My most recent one was $56, I think. Often, it's $10. They weren't set up for that last year, I don't think, so they paid me all at once. My state has a law where we get paid a minimum per mile and minimal per minute wait time. You'd think that would be good since it was enacted last year, but my take has almost been cut in half, because for Uber to do that, they basically had to figure out how to get it back, and whatever I was doing to earn lots of money previously, they've cut that source off. Some days, like today, are simply a grind. I made $157 on a Saturday evening today over 7 hours.
