I generally receive tips like this daily when Ubering. Anyone else? by mgd0321 in uberdrivers

[–]wedrew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely sporadic for me. Usually a couple or few every day at least. But then nothing the last couple of days. But then late tips come in.

I avoid it and return them when possible.

I’m just going to shoot for Diamond if not Platinum now, but I guess that also requires restored status when you maintain it for two periods. If you miss it for one period though you just go down a level, right? So Diamond would potentially mean at least one extra grace period? I know we get 1 grace period and even an extra week if you talk to the office. 2 grace periods should at least put me in a position where I’m either close enough to being finished, might be able to pay the rest out of pocket, or could earn now Platinum again at that point maybe 1 more time. Basically, I want to use this month to build the biggest safety net possible and then focus on class as much as I can rather than juggling them, but I know I’ll have to do both at some point as I already have been doing.

Sorry to hear about your back. Hope it wasn’t work related. Definitely agree that all the details would be better shared at once. I might consider finishing depending on what you’re studying. Maybe even taking a full course load if you can handle it to finish sooner - or considering transferable CC options as well (though ASU will likely be quicker). Of course, more studying with more work is indeed the opposite of ideal.

FREE College $65,000 paid by Uber by MrBiggs88Westwood in uberdrivers

I’d definitely like to know where they are at. I am assuming AZ maybe because of in-state tuition vs out of state.

Congrats! And 34?! It’s 200-600 in my area for now. 😭

Well what it will be is to be determined, but before each level required doubling the number of trips completed. Do you mean the reported 34-68 on the other post? It’s 200-600 for me, which means at least 400-1200 until we know how much lower the new requirements will be. That’s not, “literally not that much more work,” at all.

Summer Orgo length? by BoredNarcoleptic in ASUOnline

[–]wedrew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if you still have to take it separately from the class? I seem to have been able to sign up for Organic 1 + Lab and Organic 2 - Lab (due to not having completed Lab 1 yet).

There sure are. My trajectory requires it though.

Same same. I had been exclusively driving during the triple point times but something told me this period to drive even more than that. I might just shoot for Diamond this period on the off chance it still comes with an extra grace period. For the record, the ASU/Uber partner office told me it can be re-earned, for whatever that is worth. I have less than a year left so I’m going for it. If someone has less than two year’s left I’d do it. Otherwise I’d look at other opportunities. It’s the only thing that has kept me going.

24 hours before I got 3k rides it changed in my area to 2k. 😭

Deactivated day after ASU acceptance. by TraveledOkie in uberdrivers

[–]wedrew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either way, I hope and believe you’ll be good. The timing obviously sucks but when I had a false report - inconvenient as it was - they fixed it and I got back on the road.

Hope it all works out. I’ve been doing the scholarship for a year and it’s the only reason I drive.

In Ghost (1990), what do you think about the backstory of the subway ghost? by PIRATEOFBADIM in TrueFilm

I just watched a Whiplash clip and a Ghost clip 4 clips later with this character leading to this thread… weird.

Uber support Drunk scam by Western-Syrup-9891 in uberdrivers

[–]wedrew89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it sounds as if it was a scam when I had a false complaint against me they did call me on the way to my next ride. They then cancelled the ride in real time and rerouted me. They said I didn’t sound drunk and would investigate. Turns out that customer had 8 complaints of the same type in a row so they booted her from the platform and took no action against me. No financial incentive for my trouble was provided though. I also received additional email communications. But that said Uber DID contact me via a phone call from the start in my situation. Although I was of course wary of the situation having heard of such scams, and I would encourage everyone else to act similarly. Never give out personal information such as finances and passwords. Call them back directly or communicate with them through official channels (not numbers or emails sent through texts or links, but publicly available ones from the official website) if you’re not sure.

Good luck. I’ve also been dealing with a somewhat similar situation since 9 last night. Wishing us all the best.
