Looks like they wised up to sharing guarantees too. Read the very last sentence...

1. I did the text go thing but I'm still not getting the guarantees...why?
2. When and if I do ever get the guarantees, how does one "opt in"?

When you actually do start to receive the texts there is a link. Click the link and it will take you to a page where you enter your name, email (the email Uber has on file for you), and your phone number. Once that's done you're signed up.

Tip: screen shot the page that says you're successfully signed up. You do not get any notification of opting in other than this page.

Thank you...I seem to remember reading Ina thread that newbies don't get the guarantees...is this true?? If yes. After how long is one no longer a newbie?

The thing to remember about Uber is that they give drivers as little information as possible...and when it comes to guarantees and how those are figured, it's pretty much nada (at least not that I've seen).

I believe that everyone used to receive the same guarantees. Now guarantees are tailored to drivers working patterns. For instance a driver that works more hours will have a higher minimum amount of hours to meet before qualifying for a guarantee period. That's just one example of many that I can see...

For the newbie question it may be best to write to Uber and see what they say. When I started I got guarantees immediately, but that was at the beginning of this year...things have changed since then.

It has said that for a while.

Never saw it on any of mine until this time.
