Hi Goober,
Since the Winter Warmup launched, we've seen a boost in ridership. As a result, partner earnings have successfully increased above current guarantee amounts.
Starting today, to encourage driving when riders need you the most, we're ending off-peak guarantees and moving to a tiered guarantee structure. This structure has increased guaranteed amounts, so you'll make even more during the best hours.
You must be in the Metro Twin Cities area to earn these guarantees; however, demand is typically higher in areas such as Downtown Minneapolis & St. Paul, Dinkytown, Uptown, & St. Louis Park. The time periods and amounts for the tiered guarantee are as follows:

Requirements to Qualify
- You must opt in to the guarantee by clicking the above link and filling out the required information.
- This is a booking guarantee, meaning if you book more than the guaranteed hourly amount for the hours that you are online, no payment is necessary. However, if you book less than the amount, we will make up the difference (minus the Uber fee)
- You must be online in the general Twin Cities Metro Area
- Drive the minimum qualifying hours for a single period. You may drive as many periods as you wish, but be sure to hit at least 3 hours in each period in order to qualify!
- You must accept at least 90% of requests sent to you during each period
- You must complete at least 1 trip per hour during the periods in which you are online
Guarantee FAQ's
Question 1: How is the guarantee calculated?
Answer 1: At the end of the weekend, we calculate your bookings/hour and hours online for the full time you participated, across all guarantee periods. We then compare that to the guaranteed booking amount/hour across the full time period that you participated. If you booked more than the booking guarantee, then no payment is applied. However, if you booked less than the booking amount, then we will apply a payment to your account for the difference, for the hours you were online, minus the Uber fee. Question 2: What happens if a trip takes me outside of the Metro Twin Cities area? Answer 2: If a trip takes you outside of the Metro Twin Cities area please just head back to Metro Twin Cities when complete - we will not hold this against you. Question 3: What if I'm only online for a few hours during the guarantee period? Answer 3: This is ok, as long as you meet the criteria above (online for at least the minimum qualifying hours), you will earn the guarantee for the hours you are online during the period.Question 4: When are the guaranteed amounts applied to my account? Answer 4: Guarantees are calculated and applied on Monday/Tuesday.
