Destination filters. Do they work?

4377 Views 48 Replies 12 Participants Last post by  Agent99
Been using the Lyft destination filter since it began. Turn it on all over the area and at different times--airport, eastside, Lynnwood, etc.

Not one ride yet.

It's now arrived on my Uber account and I'm curious if anyone has had any success with this?

I'm thinking the only benefit could be in using it near hotels, ferries, and cruise ships when I want a long fare to airport, etc. Could be especially useful @ places/events with lots of people such as stadiums/arenas.

Anyone use it?

Never had lyft work and assume ubers wont work either. My guess is the tolerances are too strict. If I say the destination is in Redmond, just about anywhere in redmond will do.
Wow, had it work like a charm last night. Got me a 2.3 surge from ID over to Bellevue then caught another to within blocks of where I live. Kudos Uber...you did something right...I'm flabbergasted. C'mon Lyft, get your shit together.

Ok I'm getting really frustrated with this destination nonsense. First two times I used it, it worked. But now every time I try, I get trips that are often going the opposite direction from my destination. I've also noticed that the pings that come through are suspiciously nearby me too. It almost makes me think fuber is intentionally ignoring the filter and sending me a ping b/c I might be the closest driver. Can't have the precious customer wait 4 minutes instead of 3.

Has anyone else experienced this?
I've gotten one ping while using lyfts filter and it was for a ride 6 blocks in the wrong direction. As usual...good job lyft.
