yup or get orders in areas that are not red. I think that hotspot indicator is a bit inaccurate or the area is saturated with drivers. I've gone into places that would have 4 or 5 other drivers waiting
$150 cash advance on pay on the Uber pro card comes in handy at times. At Diamond level it is $150 compared to $50 for lowest level. All you have to do is make Diamond one time and it doesn’t go back down when your acceptance rate brings you back to blue. You have to use the $150 cash advance while you are a diamond driver to lock it in place. Been blue driver for a while now and that cash advance and the upside gas discount on the pro card are the only benefits I get.
I'm diamond..can u explain better how to use this? Like r u saying if I HVE say $20 in my account but am in a emergency I can take out up to $150?? How? PlZ explain..
I haven't seen any boost pay or surge in over 6 months ths in the Baltimore metro area. Also, UE always pulls orders from at least 2-3+ miles away, wherever you go it will pull orders from where you just were. It's basically a giant pile of crap shoot. Also, my acceptance rate on UE is always at 1% because every order is upside down on dollars to miles.
I always appreciate the information. When work gets slow, I turn on the apps. Your videos are very valuable to me to keep up with changes or new opportunities. Appreciate it!!
I really appreciate the information!Unfortunately I cant do DoorDash or Walmart spark due to the high volume of drivers. However, I did get accepted to do Uber Eats here in the LA county! Wish me luck!
Uber Eats is the best by far. Best incentives and no need to schedule shifts. Instead of driving full time, I drive part time and source income from other kinds of work.
@@danielduque8750 Uber tips more than doordash in my area and has a bit more reasonable orders. I’m a new driver myself. Doordash can drop some bangers, but it’s less consistent, and I’m in a very busy area north of Houston.
I hope you're in a good area. Because that $6.96 example he showed that was 15 minutes, and 3.3 miles is a good offer in my area. Most of the offers here are terribly off kilter, where the miles, and time is much higher than the pay! Basically ones where you're losing money by working.
I am pretty sure I “do” Uber Eats at a different planet. 99 out of a 100 times I see $2-3 orders that take 20-30 minutes or my time and several miles. I honestly don’t understand who accepts those orders. I tried a few times thinking a tip will come after the delivery, but I only got Big Thank you in the end and no money. Needless to say my acceptance rate now way below 10%

The rideshare companies say we get entire fare & then they take a percentage off the top - but they don’t tell us what the riders pay! They say we make $35/hr gross - but after their 50-70% ‘subscription fee’ it’s more like $15-$20.

It doesn't show the surges on the map like that for me. Anyone else? It only shows a small grey area of where orders are supposedly coming in a lot at that current time. Also, they've stopped including promotions for UE for the past 6 months, only for rides they do.

Hi Mike, thank you for this informative video. I've finally gotten to a 100% acceptance rate on UberEats so I can see if I get higher paying orders. I do this part time. I started tracking at 58% AR in Feb. Today I crossed the 100% AR line. Looking back it took about 4 order to increase my AR. Once I hit 97% it got harder at 5 orders per % and then 99 it was 6 orders per %. Overall going from 58 to 100% AR it took 7 orders per percentage. Wow, talk about brutal. Now I can finally start raking in the cash from UberEats....we shall see. I'm doing this experiment for the greater good of the gig economy and I don't recommend anyone try this at home. Russ

Another Yinzer youtuber! Came here to learn some tips since I'm starting to drive to tide me over for a moment. Seeing the PGH map I was like, "waitaminute!" Hopefully I can repay the favor by showing you the stars sometime at one of the local observatories... there's public events I help out at monthly (except during winter, no scheduled events). All that being said, if you could pick one parking lot in the area that's good to post up in while waiting (say you needed a few minutes for an important phone call) that would almost guarantee something after you finish you call, where would you do it? Thanks Mike!
Very helpful thank you, i been an Uber driver since 2014, have an 07 vehicle and this year Uber raised the year to 2008 for car to be eligible to do UberX and UberXL, i'm trying to get a new car but in the mean time i'm gonna gave to do Uber Eats and i only did UE back when it first started and a few times during the pandemic, so this video was pretty helpful, again thank you.
I am a fairly new UE driver (3 weeks). My big question about acceptance rate is: When a offer comes up and you don't do anything and it times out, is that considered a decline? Also, if I hit the top right corner of a request (the X), does this constitute a decline? I rarely hit the DECLINE button, but my acceptance rate is 33%. I have enough points to go from PRO to GOLD, but I can't because my acceptance rate is below 70%. Thank you for the info and I love your videos.
I have listened to several of your videos. We are in Lexington, Ky, and there is NEVER surge pay. Also, there has NEVER been any boost pay, or promotions, or bonuses. Check opportunities tab all the time. And have not seen quest offers.
I need to know the tips. I’m new to this and I don’t like how UE will send you an add on and then afterwards lump the two offers into one instead of breaking them out. I feel like they might be cheating me 1-2$ at a time. They claim I can see the breakdown but I don’t see it.
The only way to see what the tip is, is to take single orders only. I took an order the other day from Arbys. Driving off the lot, i got a McDs order .3 of a mile away as an add a delivery. They ended by stacking the 2 together and i made 24 dollars for the 2 delivers. i knew the first order was 10 and change and the second was about the same, but it was a really crappy day with snow and sleet, so the customers added more tip at the end. you need to figure out what the base pay is on each order. in my area, it is NEVER under 2 dollars, unless you stack or add on. on that previous great 2 orders i just mentioned, the base pay was $3.61 combined and the tip was $20.22 combined.
This was helpful, as I tend to focus on improving my Acceptance Rate to get to Uber Pro. After seeing this, I now feel better about being more judicious about accepting orders since the Acceptance Rate really doesn't matter.
Exact opposite to what u said down in south florida. I'm a Diamond with 98% satisfaction and a decent acceptance. About 3 months ago, I had 2 orders($19). The 1st drop was 5 miles and paid .47 then 2nd paid $4 but had nearly a $15 tip. So no base pay or anything like that here. No quest to do for eats. Just the $1.50 promo that's 15 miles+ from where I live and they typically last 1-2 hours. Went out today and denied 6 straight orders. $4.22 for 17 miles was the 1st and $1.51 for 4.2 miles was the last
Just started Uber eats in Miami and made $50 in 4.5 hrs at night. Definately not good. Are you still fo Uber Eats. Any tips for Miami area to do better or get better orders?
Ex door dasher, I got sick for one week and went from platinum to gold. Since I dropped down, I get really crappy orders or none at all because the platinums are getting the most. I can’t money off of no tip orders and drive all over town.
You don’t seem to be taking into consideration the acceptance rate. Does gold or platinum, which requires a 85% acceptance rate really make a difference?
Acceptance rate does not matter in my experience, I was Platinum with a 15-20% acceptance rate, and my acceptance rate has been as low as 3% and I still do pretty well.
Same - acceptance rate is ue version of guilting you to take orders. Way more effective to just wait for good offers. The only thing that matters is cancels but only once you hit 5%
Started driving for Uber eats back when it was still Postmates, but after watching this it’s making me consider switching to DoorDash for better incentives. Have any Uber eats drivers out there done the same thing?
My first UE offers were 15 & 21 mile runs. Turned them down . The next shift I took the first two offers 17$ total ..25 miles.. not good but I’m confident the next two will be better..
Hello, i enjoy your videos. Its been at least year since i drove for Uber Eats and today I got my first order request buuuut. Instead of the accept button it displayed a Match Button and it definitely was not 30 seconds. I clicked the match button in about 10 seconds and I got a message that read another driver has already matched this order. Please explain
I have a question about milage. Let's say I get an order that goes 9 miles away. From say, Burien WA to dowtown Seattle. When I get done delivering that order, and I don't want to drive around downtown picking up and delivering, do I count miles for tax purposes driven back to Burien. Another 9 miles?
It depends on the laws in your state. always save every receipt and get a good CPA. although i do accounting, im not a cpa or tax person. If you are using your car for 100% delivery, you are pretty much allowed to write off every expense. when it comes tax time for me this year, i will claim 80% percent, as i do use my car to go to sprint car races. i just take the miles i have driven to the races and subtract if from the overall miles, to come up with the percentage. my cpa cost me 125 a year but keep in mind, ive had my cpa for over 30 years.
Do you know why I see statements that with Uber Eats you can deliver in any US market, but that is NOT the case. I'm in North Carolina and was told yesterday that I can only deliver in this state. To apply in another state will require losing my ability to work on my home turf. I explained the idea of traveling and working to no avail. Thoughts, Anyone?
Hey Mike any way you can explain or do a video about how the $22 per hour guarantee promotion works. I've been following the parameters that it says to follow but I'm not seeing any extra money being added to make up the difference if I don't hit the $22 for the hour. I tried to get with support but no luck just generic responses.
I’ve noticed when accepting boost the base it is lower than without boost. Never seen a Quest in the year I’ve been doing it. I’m in California so maybe we don’t get those things
I'm really trying to fix my acceptance rate, but Uber Eats still send the worse offers available. Every time I try to improve my rating, it ends worse than before. Does anyone have a tip or suggestion in this case? Thanks
@Arya108X it's no comparison...doordash is horrible compared to DD. Getting $468 on Thanksgiving is not possible on Doordash. They actually adjust the pay after deliveries on UE.
I am finally at 100% AR so I'm looking forward to what comes. But I was not impressed going from 58% to 100% AR. I have taken many long distance and no tip orders. I hope this helps... Russ
It all depends on your situation. i have 7 restaurants within a mile of me, so i do everything from home. i did 227 delivers the first month and averaged 8.32 per order. learn what your base pay is for your area. in my area, its 2 dollars, unless its a really slow day, i wont take anything under 5 dollars and it has to be a short distance. i pretty much turn on my phone around 7pm. i dont get any orders in the daytime, as thats when most people want to work. i have found the best time for me is between 1130pm to 5am. at times in the early morning hours, i have gotten the same order 5 times in a row. i love those because the price keeps going up. i am at 41 percent and i have no idea why its that high. they probably rate a little different when you are diamond driver. personally, i dont see any difference when my ar was 14 percent, from now.
Here in San Antonio it seems that surge pay and boost are no longer available so now its only tips that make u $ and watch out for closed restaurants new policy just what rep stated didn't read it that uber cant compensate you for driving to a closed restaurant its absurd they need to fix that glitch and update business hours
I wouldn't want to try to do this as a full time job or my main income... I have a normal 40hr job but I just want something I can do to make a little extra for a couple hours before/after work or on the weekends. I just signed up but I think I'm waiting on them to do the background check, anyone know how long that typically takes in canada??
I will say tips are way better on DD vs Uber Eats in my area which is rural Augusta Ga area . The amount of times ive seen drive 8 miles for $2 is ridiculous. I have seen it at 85% AR and 15%AR. I honestly dont feel like AR is making a huge difference in either of these apps . I make more now cherry picking with an avg 15% AR than I did taking almost everything except the utterly ridiculous offers at 85% AR.
I think I have been doing it wrong. I've been using a lot of gas driving around waiting for orders. Whats the more effective way to do this without wasting so much gas?
Did 5200 deliveries last year for doordash all over the county and not once had to schedule...trying Uber eats and it's just not as good of income so looking for helpful tips but this is a lot of rambling. Ubers orders have been junk so I hit the x alot. Does declining effect anything like DD?
I have noticed not long after the pandemic settled down, there was no more surge pay on Uber Eats orders. I generally do not do rides as the base pay and dollar per mile is not worth it, however in the past couple weeks I've started to notice significantly consistent surge pay on rides. I'll have Uber X and Uber Eats turned on and I'll notice that on some Uber Eats trips, I will get surgepay if picking up an order in surge zone. But I only noticed this happens if I have Uber X turned on, if I don't, there is absolutely no surge pay at all for Uber Eats. Don't know if this is done on purpose or glitch. However from a financial aspect it's been very good.
I do just UE, and never heard of surge pay. Pretty much 95% of the money paid from the offer is from the tip. Seems most people lately don't want to tip as the offers are from $1.60- $4. For that $4 you driving at least 8 miles.
I hate shop & pay. I get to a store I don't know and plus a lot of times the store doesn't have exactly what the customer wants. So I have to take time to call the customer, sometimes the customer doesn't answer (i've noticed that a lot). And I especially hate Wal-Mart with a passion. Their customer service stinks.
Sounds like prior who've figured out a workaround. They looked it up online and intentionally chose items that aren't in stock, probably getting a cut rate or partial refund for incomplete services.
I use Uber eats as a side hustle to supplement my income, what I like to do is look at the opportunities for the Walmart near me where you just park you put in your parking space number and they bring out the groceries, some days I’ll do two or three of those, which adds at least $50 to my day, in between I do the actual food delivery. So slow days like Monday and Tuesday, I’ll look to see what Walmart has to offer and then I plan my day from that. But I do like adding Walmart to my day it’s like my boost since I don’t get any boost in my area, Asbury Park New Jersey
I cant stand running 2 or more apps on my phone. Its super super annoying, the popup orders coming in having to x them sometimes causes you to accept one that pops up as you were trying to x one from the other app because they constantly changing the location of the x for each. Id like to run them all but I cant take those risks. I tried telling UE to add a double tap to accept orders for example first tap turns it yellow and next tap completes the accept for it. Too bad these services are not implementing driver feedback the way they really could or should.
For your example with Jersey Mikes, pay is NEVER that high in my market in Tampa unless there is a very large tip. Uber here would only offer about $1 base pay. The rest is all tips so I would not even think twice about accepting. My rule is $1 per mile min and $4 min pay. After 10000 trips that formula has worked well for me, If I waited for more then that I would sit all day with no trips. Agreed on drive through. They are almost never worth the rate late at night. Also I avoid Walmart trips because of excessive wait time.
I did a couple of Uber eats orders today, and instead of showing me the mileage from where I was and to the drop off place, it showed me the miles from where I was to the Vendor. What is going on?
I usually look at the time more than the milage. Live in OK where everything is 30 minutes away. If it says 3 miles but 28 minutes; it means they're lying and just telling you to the vendor because they know you're not going to drive 16 miles for 6 dollars.
I work in North Atlanta suburbs and I don’t see almost all of the bonus offers you show. I see different offers with some nearly impossible because I have to accept 75% of offers and I don’t want to go to Walmart and I know no way to opt out of Walmart offers. I tried calling three times and it’s never worked. I don’t know if they are lying to me or just getting rid of me but I still get Walmart orders, 90% of which are absurd.
I don't see any promos, no boost like you're showing. Also, I'm unable to reserve more than 5 times per the entire week?? Ridiculous, only 5 hours can be reserved???
UE is a great filler app these days; it went downhill so rapidly. I log on when I'm near a Target, CVS or Petsmart. Other than that I ain't havin it split my eardrm every 90 seconds with a $2.37 Popeyes going 14.3 miles 😆
I just hate when the MAP RED I'm sitting in the RED ZONE but I get NO ORDERS kinda confusing....

@7:34 I can't speak for your market, but here in Atlanta, the "total miles" is from current location (to restaurant + to drop-off = total).
That's good to know ,I'm in atl… can you use the destination filter?
Ya same here Florida. Heads up on the package orders because there is another line that says mileage from pu to do, requiring you to add them up.

I saw an order for $3 including tip. I'm not getting off my couch for $3 when gas here is $5/gallon 😂
Exact opposite to what u said down in south florida. I'm a Diamond with 98% satisfaction and a decent acceptance. About 3 months ago, I had 2 orders($19). The 1st drop was 5 miles and paid .47 then 2nd paid $4 but had nearly a $15 tip. So no base pay or anything like that here. No quest to do for eats. Just the $1.50 promo that's 15 miles+ from where I live and they typically last 1-2 hours. Went out today and denied 6 straight orders. $4.22 for 17 miles was the 1st and $1.51 for 4.2 miles was the last
Can confirm
Yup, like that in Miami
Just started Uber eats in Miami and made $50 in 4.5 hrs at night. Definately not good. Are you still fo Uber Eats. Any tips for Miami area to do better or get better orders?
@mariapino1129 get to platinum or higher then stop worrying about your acceptance rating
Do you turn off your car and lock it when picking up the food or do you keep it running?
Ex door dasher, I got sick for one week and went from platinum to gold. Since I dropped down, I get really crappy orders or none at all because the platinums are getting the most. I can’t money off of no tip orders and drive all over town.
You don’t seem to be taking into consideration the acceptance rate. Does gold or platinum, which requires a 85% acceptance rate really make a difference?
Acceptance rate does not matter in my experience, I was Platinum with a 15-20% acceptance rate, and my acceptance rate has been as low as 3% and I still do pretty well.
Same - acceptance rate is ue version of guilting you to take orders. Way more effective to just wait for good offers. The only thing that matters is cancels but only once you hit 5%
Started driving for Uber eats back when it was still Postmates, but after watching this it’s making me consider switching to DoorDash for better incentives. Have any Uber eats drivers out there done the same thing?
Hi Mike I haven’t seen boost pay for deliveries in buy area in over a year! I only see it for rides.
My first UE offers were 15 & 21 mile runs. Turned them down . The next shift I took the first two offers 17$ total ..25 miles.. not good but I’m confident the next two will be better..
I do Uber Eats and sometimes you get send really far but it has its ups and downs i make more money with low class then going to the nice areas
Ya i noticed that also. So sad how these rich folks are so stingy.
Ain’t that the truth
Facts lol
@@Da-SheekThey didn’t get rich being generous. Lol!
Do you turn off the car and lock it when picking up the food or do you keep it running?
This is very helpful to me because I'm just starting and this is like I said very helpful!!
I’m from Knoxville, & we don’t have bonus/ surge pay anymore. Why is that???
@2:58 what does "enable rideshare" mean?
So people can ride with you and drop them off
Hello, i enjoy your videos. Its been at least year since i drove for Uber Eats and today I got my first order request buuuut. Instead of the accept button it displayed a Match Button and it definitely was not 30 seconds. I clicked the match button in about 10 seconds and I got a message that read another driver has already matched this order. Please explain
UE is nonstop here. it sounds like a casino in my car!!
Make that money 😁💰💰💰
Same here 💰 😊
I have a question about milage. Let's say I get an order that goes 9 miles away. From say, Burien WA to dowtown Seattle. When I get done delivering that order, and I don't want to drive around downtown picking up and delivering, do I count miles for tax purposes driven back to Burien. Another 9 miles?
It depends on the laws in your state. always save every receipt and get a good CPA. although i do accounting, im not a cpa or tax person. If you are using your car for 100% delivery, you are pretty much allowed to write off every expense. when it comes tax time for me this year, i will claim 80% percent, as i do use my car to go to sprint car races. i just take the miles i have driven to the races and subtract if from the overall miles, to come up with the percentage. my cpa cost me 125 a year but keep in mind, ive had my cpa for over 30 years.
ok but is it added before the offer or after the offer? for the boost pay
Do you know why I see statements that with Uber Eats you can deliver in any US market, but that is NOT the case. I'm in North Carolina and was told yesterday that I can only deliver in this state. To apply in another state will require losing my ability to work on my home turf. I explained the idea of traveling and working to no avail. Thoughts, Anyone?
Hey Mike any way you can explain or do a video about how the $22 per hour guarantee promotion works. I've been following the parameters that it says to follow but I'm not seeing any extra money being added to make up the difference if I don't hit the $22 for the hour. I tried to get with support but no luck just generic responses.
I’ve noticed when accepting boost the base it is lower than without boost. Never seen a Quest in the year I’ve been doing it. I’m in California so maybe we don’t get those things
I’ve always said I love UE. They have Boost+ in my area pretty much every single day. I’m in a small-med market in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks Mike!
Same PNW🌲🏔️ 😊
The highest paid dash on DD was $13. My very first order on Uber was $27. It happened just a few minutes ago. 🎉
I'm really trying to fix my acceptance rate, but Uber Eats still send the worse offers available. Every time I try to improve my rating, it ends worse than before. Does anyone have a tip or suggestion in this case? Thanks
Naaaa I went from 70% to 14
@@Eye4Skillz And are you getting worthwhile orders? Because every time I try to give UE a chance, I go back to DD to make my day.
@Arya108X it's no comparison...doordash is horrible compared to DD. Getting $468 on Thanksgiving is not possible on Doordash. They actually adjust the pay after deliveries on UE.
I am finally at 100% AR so I'm looking forward to what comes. But I was not impressed going from 58% to 100% AR. I have taken many long distance and no tip orders. I hope this helps... Russ
It all depends on your situation. i have 7 restaurants within a mile of me, so i do everything from home. i did 227 delivers the first month and averaged 8.32 per order. learn what your base pay is for your area. in my area, its 2 dollars, unless its a really slow day, i wont take anything under 5 dollars and it has to be a short distance. i pretty much turn on my phone around 7pm. i dont get any orders in the daytime, as thats when most people want to work. i have found the best time for me is between 1130pm to 5am. at times in the early morning hours, i have gotten the same order 5 times in a row. i love those because the price keeps going up. i am at 41 percent and i have no idea why its that high. they probably rate a little different when you are diamond driver. personally, i dont see any difference when my ar was 14 percent, from now.
Here in San Antonio it seems that surge pay and boost are no longer available so now its only tips that make u $ and watch out for closed restaurants new policy just what rep stated didn't read it that uber cant compensate you for driving to a closed restaurant its absurd they need to fix that glitch and update business hours
Hi Mike. Thanks for the informative video! 👍
I wouldn't want to try to do this as a full time job or my main income... I have a normal 40hr job but I just want something I can do to make a little extra for a couple hours before/after work or on the weekends. I just signed up but I think I'm waiting on them to do the background check, anyone know how long that typically takes in canada??
I will say tips are way better on DD vs Uber Eats in my area which is rural Augusta Ga area . The amount of times ive seen drive 8 miles for $2 is ridiculous. I have seen it at 85% AR and 15%AR. I honestly dont feel like AR is making a huge difference in either of these apps . I make more now cherry picking with an avg 15% AR than I did taking almost everything except the utterly ridiculous offers at 85% AR.
I think I have been doing it wrong. I've been using a lot of gas driving around waiting for orders. Whats the more effective way to do this without wasting so much gas?
Stay in and area shaded orders will come
Why does sometimes it will say 12$ but when I complete the delivery, it only gives me 3-4$?
Tip portion shows up after about an hour
At least an hour@@kimmieinspires
I have never seen any of these other than the boost. I’m in Riverside California if anyone know why we don’t get em
I dont get quests anymore. How can I get quests again, do you know?
Did 5200 deliveries last year for doordash all over the county and not once had to schedule...trying Uber eats and it's just not as good of income so looking for helpful tips but this is a lot of rambling. Ubers orders have been junk so I hit the x alot. Does declining effect anything like DD?
No, acceptance rate is just them pressuring you to take orders. I only have like a 20% acceptance rate and make about $150 for about 6 hours.
I did two quest 5 shop and pay orders, and get 20. A bit ago . I personally like Uber eats better than DD.
Oftentimes the trip takes longer than what is said. I've never seen surge pay in Portland, Oregon.
I have noticed not long after the pandemic settled down, there was no more surge pay on Uber Eats orders. I generally do not do rides as the base pay and dollar per mile is not worth it, however in the past couple weeks I've started to notice significantly consistent surge pay on rides. I'll have Uber X and Uber Eats turned on and I'll notice that on some Uber Eats trips, I will get surgepay if picking up an order in surge zone. But I only noticed this happens if I have Uber X turned on, if I don't, there is absolutely no surge pay at all for Uber Eats. Don't know if this is done on purpose or glitch. However from a financial aspect it's been very good.
I do just UE, and never heard of surge pay. Pretty much 95% of the money paid from the offer is from the tip. Seems most people lately don't want to tip as the offers are from $1.60- $4. For that $4 you driving at least 8 miles.
In upstate NY no more surge pay at all
Can you use both at the same time? Uber eats n DoorDash?
Yes. Just accept one can and not the other.
Surge and/or boost doesn’t ‘exist’ in Australia anymore. It was apparently just combined into the delivery rate if it’s in a ‘surging’ area
As a matter of fact, the further I get into your video the more I see just how different the AU app is
I hate shop & pay. I get to a store I don't know and plus a lot of times the store doesn't have exactly what the customer wants. So I have to take time to call the customer, sometimes the customer doesn't answer (i've noticed that a lot). And I especially hate Wal-Mart with a passion. Their customer service stinks.
Sounds like prior who've figured out a workaround.
They looked it up online and intentionally chose items that aren't in stock, probably getting a cut rate or partial refund for incomplete services.
I'll be back on UE 2nd half of Feb after that ridiculous evasion situation. I'm coming back for my title...lol
I use Uber eats as a side hustle to supplement my income, what I like to do is look at the opportunities for the Walmart near me where you just park you put in your parking space number and they bring out the groceries, some days I’ll do two or three of those, which adds at least $50 to my day, in between I do the actual food delivery. So slow days like Monday and Tuesday, I’ll look to see what Walmart has to offer and then I plan my day from that. But I do like adding Walmart to my day it’s like my boost since I don’t get any boost in my area, Asbury Park New Jersey
Good for you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯 can't wait to do my side hustle 😊
I wouldn’t put ur city in the title Uber will score u on purpose by hiring more drivers
I haven't seen the quest bonus offers yet.
I cant stand running 2 or more apps on my phone. Its super super annoying, the popup orders coming in having to x them sometimes causes you to accept one that pops up as you were trying to x one from the other app because they constantly changing the location of the x for each. Id like to run them all but I cant take those risks. I tried telling UE to add a double tap to accept orders for example first tap turns it yellow and next tap completes the accept for it. Too bad these services are not implementing driver feedback the way they really could or should.
What do you know about instacart
For your example with Jersey Mikes, pay is NEVER that high in my market in Tampa unless there is a very large tip. Uber here would only offer about $1 base pay. The rest is all tips so I would not even think twice about accepting. My rule is $1 per mile min and $4 min pay. After 10000 trips that formula has worked well for me, If I waited for more then that I would sit all day with no trips. Agreed on drive through. They are almost never worth the rate late at night. Also I avoid Walmart trips because of excessive wait time.
I did a couple of Uber eats orders today, and instead of showing me the mileage from where I was and to the drop off place, it showed me the miles from where I was to the Vendor. What is going on?
Refuse those bad orders, they trying to get you to accept every order. They are so sneaky at Uber Eats they will make you drive 30 miles for $15
Interesting 🤔 🤔 🤔 thanks for the heads up 🙂 @@MikeHunt-il3if
I usually look at the time more than the milage. Live in OK where everything is 30 minutes away. If it says 3 miles but 28 minutes; it means they're lying and just telling you to the vendor because they know you're not going to drive 16 miles for 6 dollars.
I see alot of drivers in my area and not enough orders on a steady basis, despite busy or not
I work in North Atlanta suburbs and I don’t see almost all of the bonus offers you show. I see different offers with some nearly impossible because I have to accept 75% of offers and I don’t want to go to Walmart and I know no way to opt out of Walmart offers. I tried calling three times and it’s never worked. I don’t know if they are lying to me or just getting rid of me but I still get Walmart orders, 90% of which are absurd.
I'm in atlanta as well, go to your options and turn off shop and pay orders.
Does this apply in the UK too?
Probably not, as much of what he mentioned doesn't even apply in most of the US.
Why does your Uber eats screen look so different than mine? I never seen those red zones ever
Uber in Nashville & Clarksville is super busy
I don't see any promos, no boost like you're showing. Also, I'm unable to reserve more than 5 times per the entire week?? Ridiculous, only 5 hours can be reserved???
I'm in New york city so must be different than where you are
Can you do a video on how to get more orders for Uber Eats on a E bike?
I get a ton of boost plus opportunities but “coincidentally” that’s the time I barely get any orders
I don’t like dash as well as UE. UE shows destination better
We don't get surge pricing in my area at all.
$2 base pay while the company posts record profits is insane
UE is a great filler app these days; it went downhill so rapidly. I log on when I'm near a Target, CVS or Petsmart.
Other than that I ain't havin it split my eardrm every 90 seconds with a $2.37 Popeyes going 14.3 miles 😆
I live in Jackson Tennessee it's a small city. I've never seen a surge on just uber eats. Not once
Hi Mike what happen if the acceptance rate is to low in uber eats
Nothing. Just get a warning message when log in. I have been as low as 29%
No boost here in toronto
I just started DoorDash 1 week ago should I sign up for Uber eats too or wait a bit longer
Sign up for Uber eats it's better
Bro I don’t even have surge areas. My app looks nothing like that what’s goin on????
Love Uber Eats for its flexibility. DD is way to restrictive, in my area anyway. UBER EATS RULES !
Well said in this video Mike
S/O to you from JAX FL aka DUUUVAAAL
I love no scheduled shifts
im not 18 so theres noway i can use a car for uber eats? biking i get NO ORDERS NOT ONE
