Is it really worth to drive this weekend considering the promotions? I was online 9 hours(6pm till 3am) last night in OC area and hardly made the same earnings like any other Friday nights which I only work less than 6 hours( usually 9 pm till 2am)

Considering the promotion of $30/hr minimum still makes it to think twice. Because uber said $30/hr gross before their commission.

Example:
Let's say you are online for 6 hours between 9pm till 3am. And you have the below breakdown
Fare: $160
Surge: $9
Uber fee: $42

Now uber pay the rest of the difference as per $30/hr guaranteed promise. But it's the gross fare they consider. Uber still charge their 25% out of it right?

So 6*$30=$180 gross
You made: $160 gross
You are short(than promised): $20 than promised

So uber will pay the remaining $20. Yet, they take their 25% as uber fee from $20.

So you only get $15 from uber(consider you still have to pay taxes for that $15 revenue)

Thanks
Nick

I'm not going to bother. I'm sitting at home enjoying some time off.

I'll be taking the 11-5 promo on the 4th. That's an easy and quick few bucks. But that's it.

It felt like there wasn't a ton of requests last night in OC. I didn't get hardly any stacked requests until I hit the Newport Beach area. And I dropped off in Downtown Fullerton twice and couldn't get a pick-up. I drove from 6PM to 1AM and in my last hour online I had three rides with gross totals of $13.48 from taking people to and from DTSA. During the 6PM and 10PM hours, I only completed one ride each, but for the others, I completed 2 or more, so those qualify for the guarantee incentive as you had to complete a minimum of 1.5 rides an hour.

I don't know, my area is full of new ants from last week. I don't even want to drive this week and next week.

I didn't even get offered a promotion or bonus this week? what are the hours of the promo so i can avoid those hours? Last night in OC was just horrible. i finally had to turn the app off and go home. Never seen so many drivers. I barely made $15 from 10pm to midnight

Took a much deserved break from excessive driving this week. Driving very sparingly this weekend.

I'm glad it's just not me, my earnings for slaving Thursday and Friday sucked badly. It was dead, just me driving around wasting my gas

Seriously, stay home.

Between all the technical difficulties this weekend and an overabundance of drivers on the road, this has been my worst week ever.
