I got 2 and 3$ AM and 3$ pm. There was 5.50 yesterday 8am but didn't drive at all Sunday.
Zero Boost+ This Week
Not sure if it’s all of us or a select chunk of drivers out there, but this week absolutely zero Boost+ promotions. Zero. Zilch. Perhaps those are over now? It’s sucks because that helped out with gas a lot. Without the boosts I feel Uber isn’t worth driving for with its low rates. Anyone else get zero boost plus offers this week?

I had no offers a couple weeks ago and I posted about it too in the SD boost+ thread. Don’t worry they come back usually the next week. What I did was just take the week off from Uber and got boost promotions the next week. It sucks but with demand not as high they are throttling the boost offers more.
I have boosts every day. They are pretty low this week though. Did you do a lot of eats last week? Sometimes that can effect your offers.Not sure if it’s all of us or a select chunk of drivers out there, but this week absolutely zero Boost+ promotions. Zero. Zilch. Perhaps those are over now?

They are absolutely shit this week. $1.50 - $4 for me. I've been so lazy and unmotivated to drive this week.
Yea. I probably won’t drive much this week. Almost no good events, or baseball games so won’t see too much surge. But…. I am 54 hours away from insurance pay out. And average about 23 hours active time a week. Sigh.They are absolutely shit this week. $1.50 - $4 for me. I've been so lazy and unmotivated to drive this week.
You got this! Make sure to do a couple hours over and check the counter at 9pm on the last day and screenshot whenever you surpass the required hours. I missed the upper tier on the very first one by 40 minutes because I didn’t bother to double check the last day! 😂 Long boring story but it was 50/50 on the fault. I still got the lower tier and I abused the unlimited DF hack for 365 days so I think I came out ahead.But…. I am 54 hours away from insurance pay out.
Uber, why fix the hack? Drivers used it to do multiple short rides in a limited area. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT. This is what you have been trying to get us to do since your inception. Especially at an event you don't particularly want your drivers leaving the area with a longer ride. What the fk is wrong with you?You got this!

Hahaha we finally agree on something!Uber, why fix the hack? Drivers used it to do multiple short rides in a limited area. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT.

So just because I don’t have any this week, doesn’t mean I will never see boost+ again? Well in that case I don’t mind one week with that not being there. I just won’t drive for Uber and stick to Lyft this week and their 3 ride streak bonuses which is being offered to me every morning.I had no offers a couple weeks ago and I posted about it too in the SD boost+ thread.

I even contacted support about it and as you can see not much help. So hold tight it will come back. Also the boost this week are pretty light anyways.
Ya, it's sneakier than that support cut and paste answer. SURPRISE!
Last week my weekend Quest was $15 for 40 rides. I also had limited boosts, only a few at $6 and most at $2-4 with gaping hours in between availability when it's usually maybe an hour or two about three times a day where there are none. This week my weekend Quest is $45 for 40 rides and $3.50 to $6 boosts as described all week, which is pretty normal and what it was before.
I was talking to a guy in the airport waiting lot the other day and this week he has no Quests and really limited boosts and was asking me about it. Last week when I had crap his were great.
Same market. We're in Tampa. Different bonuses and boosts week to week per driver. The only thing we had in common is we both took a few days off right before the week where our bonuses tanked. At least here with the new Upfront Pricing algorithmic horse-dung pay determinations, it seems if you lower your hours, or at least if you have none for more than a day or two, Uber decides to treat you like a defector for a few days until they see you're going to keep driving.
Can't say it conclusively, or that it applies to your situation, but it's come up a few times in the past few weeks and it seems to be the only common factor. Based on time off or something else, it is definitely no longer a market-wide decision based on expected volume that applies to every driver anymore in my market.
I suppose they could nix all the promotions in a given market if it was slow, but you have Boost+ so I guess you're under the same system we are here. Those aren't usually slower markets.

I didn't get a single Boost offer for today (Friday) and the ones for Saturday and Sunday are pathetic ($1.50 - $3 tops). Would much rather have the 3/$15 streaks back at this point.
your a moron and paid by uber to troll as cheerleader for uber on this forum.You got this!

Same here. Absolutely ZERO Boost offered to me. Not during the weekdays or the weekend. Same with Lyft - no tiered ride bonuses. This is a significant loss of revenue.
Uber did that to me two weeks ago. No boosts for a week. I do have boosts this weekend though.Same here. Absolutely ZERO Boost offered to me. Not during the weekdays or the weekend. Same with Lyft - no tiered ride bonuses. This is a significant loss of revenue.
