Trip history shows fare of $6.96 and $11.40 for two pickups.

Trip earning tab in partner app shows $5.96 and $10.40 for the same trips. Each ride is $1.00 less in the earning tab.

Is this correct or incorrect?

That is correct. Uber deducts the "Safe Rides Fee" of $1 off the top of each ride. Then, you get 70% or 80% of the balance, depending on your contract with Uber and when you started (or maybe slightly different if you are XL or Select or Black). Hope that helps.

Had to give you a like on that one because I once had a Merkur... don't know if your screen name has anything to do with it but nevertheless....
One of the best cars I ever had.

Had 8 of them at one time. Drove an 89 scorpio for 500k before it just got to hard to find parts for.

It covers Uber's profit margin allowing them to cut rates as low as they need to for market share. No matter how low they cut the rates, they will always get $1 per ride.
