Started very slow but ended with a big bang :). Group of millenials who wanted to be dropped off individually on XL surge. The houses where I dropped them off screamed of serious money. And the distances between houses were like 10km on average. Frankly I was wishing the last passenger would come back to Toronto. :)

Hell yeah... spill some fake chunks on the seats and take pics.

If LYFT gives me any trouble and talk about deactivating me or that my account could be suspended, should I be showing them these?

They give me a lot of these. If my acceptance gets too low too consistently will they try pushing me around?

From what they talk about in the Lyft subforum they are saying that they can tolerate laps rides just not cancelled rides. If u accept and then cancel too often they will deactivate you

How many hours do you work to get 18 rides ? Must be short ones ?
Too many I think it was 8.5 hours I worked on Friday and it depends if I have the ride ride challenge or not. Last Saturday I did 22 rides in the same time and didn't have the ride challenge. I don't Beleive that's by accident.

I do not believe there is any penalty for no accepting rides from the ping (which is far different than cancelling rides after accepting ping).

Sure, you get lots of fun nag-texts and emails from LYFT, but I've never seen any consequences and I do NOT accept any pings >10min away, or from PAX with rating below 4.8. During Weekend Surges, I also do not accept REBEL and PEARL/MERCER st. Pings (even with 50-100% Prime time) as these are almost universally a source of woe to me.

My acceptance rate generally hovers around 66%, as displayed on the LYFT App Dashboard.

No penalty here too for not accepting

I've cancelled up to 3 times daily, nothing

Other people have been suspended

I finally got approved for Lyft on Saturday morning - I'm already getting a pile of nag [warnings, texts, emails, etc] about my acceptance rate. Declined a few that were much too long, cancelled one where the ping said 7 minutes and nav on acceptance said 16, and declined a few that kept popping up while I was trying to switch to premium-only mode.

Now look what Lyft is doing!
Stop forcing 10+min pings on the daily!

Literally harassing me for not taking long pings.
