I got the your not approved to drive also

 

Lyft voted to reactivate before they voted to not reactivate.

 

If Lyft reactivated your account, then do accept my condolences.

 

If Lyft reactivated your account, then do accept my condolences.

But I am not driving Lyft to pickup infected passenger. Just good to have it back. I am doing uber eat which is more $$ and less hazardous.

 

After 6 months of deactivation Lyft sent me security questions to verify that I am the real driver. The first time I didn't answered them correctly and they deactivated my account for 6 months. After 6 months Lyft sent a another random security questions again and this time I answered them correctly. I HAVE WAITED 6 MOMTHS FOR THIS and fortunately I have uber account to keep driving. Now i have both LYFT & Uber account active. But the COVID19 has changed everything. I am back with Lyft but my background check is still pending and got this message on the app: You're not approved to drive

They need drivers , so they reactivated your account :smiles:

 

No

 

Don't do it stay deactivated

 

My sincerest sympathies.

Certainly you could have gone to a Lyft hub 6 months ago to get this fixed?

 

I did that and they couldn't fixed at the hub. For some reason their system unable to verify my identity. And they can't override the system to verify my identity over the phone. The system only generates these security questions after 6 months and you will have to answer them from your driver app. They got these security questions from the credit agency based on your history. Question such as Have you taken any loan from XXXX bank in the past 90 days or Are you associated with this address.

 

Oh that's total BS from them...

 

Yeah it was total BS. Anyway it's good to have Lyft account back even though I am not looking forward to pickup riders anytime soon. I will probably give it one pickup a month just to keep the account active. I will tell you it is almost impossible to get it re-activated after they deactivated you but I was lucky. Lyft is VERY STRICT compare to UBER

 

You don't need to pick up anyone to stay active. I'm active and haven't given a ride in several months.

 

Are you sure? I heard uber will kick you out the system if you don't attempt to pickup at lease one ride in a 30-day period. I assume Lyft would do the same.

 

I'm so sorry.

 

For what?

 

They are desperate for drivers and cash.

After a year or so of ripping off drivers, not paying surge (but still charging customers higher rates), stealing cancel fees, etc. Lyft may me going the way of the dinosaur.
