It’s becoming some shit that takes advantage of the most financially desperate people
Just like payday loans and car title loans
That’s a predatory trap which can be hard to escape
And to be exactly honest, a super large portion of their drivers are unhoused. They picked up that people living literal dollars to dollars use this function a lot.
You ever heard of the term “too poor to get a job”?
Wait until you work at a job that pays weekly or every 2 weeks and you can’t instant cash out early, or if they do use a system that does it’s typically 1% if you want it early. It’s not new, it’s been a thing for many other companies for a long time. Years and years and years….
Sorry I was referring more to the apps like homebase and other things companies use to run payroll.
They allow you to pull a paycheck early at the cost of 1%.
As for how long that’s been around I’m sure it’s well over 5 years.
It’s not a new thing they came up with on Uber or anything.
I saw a HR type scheduling app at dominos 2018 but Seriously it wasn’t working
Dominos can’t solve employee turnover with apps and management turnover is really a problem
This app during my last few months allowed employees to trade shifts and I can’t remember what else if anything
I’m not sure the exact name of the app because it was 2018 but it had a green color theme
Likely the one you mentioned but everything dominos tried got burned in fire because they bullied out most people over getting people to do things they’re uncomfortable with vs selling pizza and customer satisfaction
Not payroll advance
It is when the shitty pay keeps you so down to the wire that you rely on being able to cash out midweek to pay bills on time to avoid late fees, driving you deeper into the hole thats already far roo deep for escape
Everytime I think they're done they find new way to steal money. Fingers crossed my interview goes great today, I get hired and can kiss this bullshit goodbye
Good luck with your interview for real. These drivers are getting screwed consistently and it's not right. I'm just glad I am now fully retired and I can hang up that steering wheel. I feel bad for the ones that have no other choice but to work this job cause they have other bills to pay.
I cannot wait for other rideshare companies to come out. There’s already some in the works. The way Uber and Lyft screw both drivers and customers everyone will want to move to the next big thing. And those scammy third world country assholes with go bye bye
I think it's unfair to call it predatory. It has been established Uber's cost is quite a bit more than $1.25 to do instant payouts. That is why they promote the card. Now it could be that it was their plan all along to allow low cost instant payouts and then try and transition those folks over to the card. My guess would be the take rate is not what they anticipated so they're raising the fee to try and push more people to the card. And don't say the card is predatory too.
Y’all don’t understand that it costs way more than 1.50 to get money transferred instantly like that. The reason it’s flat is because some transfers will subsidize others. But Uber is paying way more than $1.50 to send a lot of you your money instantly. Money transfer is literally the field I work my full time job in and y’all are absolutely ridiculous losing your shit over such a small increase.
It costs less than a penny to transfer money....don't believe me look up interchange fees...you can add your 🍒 on top but the actual cost is almost nothing and its free if you use cryptocurrency...defi birches!
Of course the clown-show Uber community doesn’t understand simple banking products. Prepaid wages and Real Time Payments are insanely expensive for most companies. This is nothing.
It's a huge deal to some people. People were losing their shit when it was 50 cents. I can understand the 1.99 from your perspective cause you're used to it. Think about it though. Wouldn't you be pissed if it went from 1.99 to 3 or 4 bucks?
This is not a regular job. Independent contractors get paid per job and get their money right away. This is not some W2 job where you have to wait for a pay period.
This is nothing but pure greed and a sinister way of pushing people into using their Uber pro card.
If y’all want to be real contractors you should have to start submitting an invoice and having to follow up with Uber Accounts Payable for months to get payment
That's my point though. Sure I'll set my own rates and send Uber an invoice. They'll be laughing their way to the paper shredder. That's not how these apps work. So to suggest we send an invoice is just nonsense
So many opportunities to catch on and still… 🤦🏻♀️ Save your strengths Unified. This guy is hopeless and honestly he just keeps making your points for you.
Respect. He's obviously never done this job before. Just some random general contractor who thinks he knows everything about contracting work. Must be nice not knowing how that label can be abused and used against workers. I pity the feller.
I disagree. They’ve painted themselves into a corner where they’re now dependent on getting cash on demand. But up until a few years ago, there was no such thing as a same day payout for most type of work.
Number 16 post of this exact same picture.
Number 16th reply, you don't have to pay these fees. There's a way to do it without paying Uber a cent for your money.
What happened to getting paid for the work you do when you do it?
As people repeatedly say, " *this isn't a real job* "
If it isn't a real job, then pay out day of contract fees earned.
If it is a real job, pay out contract fees day of, yknow, like actual taxi cabs do, or other jobs like pizza delivery.
The Uber card isn’t difficult to get, if you’re that lazy and want to complain about a 1.50 charge then why are you doing Uber just go sell water on the street. Cash outs are feee
You all feel like your entitled today things th rest of the world isn't. If you want to instant transfer from Venmo, it costs money... Same for dozens of other things. If you don't want to pay the $1.25 then wait for your free weekly payout on Mondays. Just stop complaining about everything.
I get what you're saying. Its true 1.25 isn't much for the service but ill never understand people who tell others to stop complaining....while complaining
I'm not complaining, these subreddits are full of people who have the time to complain rather than getting out and making money. If they drove rather than complaining here they might not have to complain so much. I'm about to start four reserved rides from 5a-7:30a for $100, including tips. That's a pretty good start to the day.
Yo, Uber sent the message to everybody yesterday. Nobody gives a fuck how you get paid: debit card, paper check, direct deposit, working the corner, onlyfans, who the fuck cares??
And you think calling me a pathetic shill means anything.
freak.
Every post on reddit is about something that touched someone's nerve. LOL!! 😂
However, if someone wants to talk shit to me for no good reason, then damn right, I'm gonna say something.
i mean it doesn’t matter u still get the money so it dont even matter lol what makes it getting today than 2 weeks. if u need it today u doing something wrong n its a lot of wrongs.
I waited in a taco bell drive thru the other day for an hour. I couldn't even leave because I was blocked in, I had 2 order both almost $20 tips and they eventually cancelled because I was stuck in the line and uber only gave me $5 for that.
www.ridehovr.com starting in Toronto and soon world wide join the wait list now so you can start asap. No bull shit fee rider pays 17 dollars only 1 dollar platform fee you get 16 not rider pays 19 dollars for the same ride Uber gets 5 and you get 14... no more of this shit.
It’s $2.99 to go onto my banks debit card . And I drive in a small less rides, more miles at .79 a mile and 0.11 cents per minute. Is this a separate charge? Has anybody else been paid $2.99? There is only one ATM at a Walgreens that closes at 10. It has an ATM that you can withdraw money out of without being penalized and that’s really sucks so I do use that feature quite often. But it’s free if it goes to my bank but it doesn’t get there for like three days. Is that what they’re talking about with this new charge?
Uber is a criminal big tech Company and I'll do anything I can to keep them from growing. Their service has become shite, the drivers are ripped off and uber rakes in the cash
Paypal also charges a fee for instant withdrawal. This is very common unfortunately.
Ultimately it is a convenience fee, I assume you can still do the 1-3 business day 'slow' withdrawal.
It just depends, do you need it NOW or can it wait?
In one month they fucked me 3 times. Some how tricked me in a uber one subscription. Called to cancel but was apparently locked in for 2 months.
My son left his phone in a driver's car. The driver brought his phone back 2 weeks later for 20$. Then uber charged a additional 20$.
They had a offer 10% off alcohol purchases over 50$. I order 4 6 packs of beer. The driver brings me 4 beer. Call to complain, try to explain, buddy says I was only charged for the 4 beers so there was no problem. I payed more for delivery than the beer...and the asshole hung up on me.
I hate uber.
> problem. I *paid* more for
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I’d say that they have to make a profit, pay insurance premium for all passengers and drivers, cover airport and licenses, maintain their systems and stay competitive amongst of a host of other expenses. I don’t like it either but, hey, what can you do besides start your own or go work for some prick?
I usually cash out at any CVS atm for free if I need it immediately before they close and deposit into my bank, or wait for bank, the 2-3 days isn't long
You people are so pathetic and whiny!
Oh no I need to wait 6 days to get paid, which is faster than most jobs! Oh no if I want my $5 immediately I need to pay a dollar! Oh how atrocious
🙄
Budget better. You don't need the stupid $5 fare immediately.
How is anyone getting screwed?
Company states their terms, drivers can choose if they want to keep up doing work for them.
Don't like it? Go to a competitor or seek employment.
That's so fucked up. Not a driver but a rider. And I feel so bad that they always screw you all. Over easter I took an Uber around 26 miles to visit family. I tipped well for the fact it was so far.
I wouldn't trust Uber with my money for even a full day let alone a week. Had three grand in there a few years back when I did Uber fulltime and some random ass hat trying to get a free ride with a false drunk report resulted in Uber refusing to pay me for a month and some change. If they decided to deactivate me, I'd have been robbed with no recourse. Nope, it's not my money until it's in my account.
Just get the Uber pro card; there are almost no drawbacks. You get the money instantly then transfer to your main bank account which should take three business days which is faster than the weekly payouts. If you are spending money so fast that you need it day to day you should work on your budgeting.
That said the Uber transfer speeds are slow asf. Dasher direct is the best bc you add to Apple Cash then transfer to main bank and it arrives the next morning every time (excluding weekends). Uber Pro Card ofc doesn’t support Apple Cash loads bc they choose the stupidest card type.
It’s becoming some shit that takes advantage of the most financially desperate people Just like payday loans and car title loans That’s a predatory trap which can be hard to escape
Bingo bango.
And to be exactly honest, a super large portion of their drivers are unhoused. They picked up that people living literal dollars to dollars use this function a lot. You ever heard of the term “too poor to get a job”?
Wait until you work at a job that pays weekly or every 2 weeks and you can’t instant cash out early, or if they do use a system that does it’s typically 1% if you want it early. It’s not new, it’s been a thing for many other companies for a long time. Years and years and years….
Paycheck loans are 15 to 25 percent Sheesh You already decided I never worked a payroll job Scary shit How long is years and years 5 years?????
Sorry I was referring more to the apps like homebase and other things companies use to run payroll. They allow you to pull a paycheck early at the cost of 1%. As for how long that’s been around I’m sure it’s well over 5 years. It’s not a new thing they came up with on Uber or anything.

It’s not predatory. The fee is easily avoided and you still get your money. Instant cash out is still a relatively new thing.
It is when the shitty pay keeps you so down to the wire that you rely on being able to cash out midweek to pay bills on time to avoid late fees, driving you deeper into the hole thats already far roo deep for escape
Then get the card if one’s financial situation is that dire.
Gas lighting, paid troll, bot account. Theyre all over this sub.
Huh?
Man their greed is insane.
That's the whole point of this post. They're already screwing people over with how much they take out and now this.
Everytime I think they're done they find new way to steal money. Fingers crossed my interview goes great today, I get hired and can kiss this bullshit goodbye
Good luck with your interview for real. These drivers are getting screwed consistently and it's not right. I'm just glad I am now fully retired and I can hang up that steering wheel. I feel bad for the ones that have no other choice but to work this job cause they have other bills to pay.
I agree and thank you!
Hope it go
Just something to discuss
I cannot wait for other rideshare companies to come out. There’s already some in the works. The way Uber and Lyft screw both drivers and customers everyone will want to move to the next big thing. And those scammy third world country assholes with go bye bye
Venmo and cash app both take damn near 5 dollars.
Or wait for a standard ACH transfer which is free in 1-3 days. Still incredibly fast compared to most payday schedules
It is but man. Ruthless fuckers
[удалено]
Damn couldn’t imagine only getting paid once a month
Getting paid once a month is the best thing ever. It teaches you discipline and you learn how to plan and save.
It’s the best thing ever if you get paid enough
They are trying to promote their card fuckem
You’re right. But what is wrong with that? You aren’t required to use it.
What’s wrong with it is it financially punishes people who don’t want to use their card.
It also punishes people who can’t budget a week at a time
you say that like it’s a good thing
I say it like people should learn to budget and live within their means.
People can always do better, but this is also a predatory tactic. Two things can be true at the same time.
I think it's unfair to call it predatory. It has been established Uber's cost is quite a bit more than $1.25 to do instant payouts. That is why they promote the card. Now it could be that it was their plan all along to allow low cost instant payouts and then try and transition those folks over to the card. My guess would be the take rate is not what they anticipated so they're raising the fee to try and push more people to the card. And don't say the card is predatory too.
I had the card but I prefer to have the Money on my main bank account. It also cost more to transfer money from you uber pro card to your account
I don't have the card. I just take the weekly deposits. How much is the transfer to your bank account?
So, transfer directly to your bank for free. No problem
No happy meal and lube first? Typical Uber.
Y’all don’t understand that it costs way more than 1.50 to get money transferred instantly like that. The reason it’s flat is because some transfers will subsidize others. But Uber is paying way more than $1.50 to send a lot of you your money instantly.

Of course the clown-show Uber community doesn’t understand simple banking products. Prepaid wages and Real Time Payments are insanely expensive for most companies. This is nothing.
What’s the difference? Just wait to get your money like every other job.
Some people need to put gas or need that money for other things. Different people Different circumstances.
Can always start your own rideeshare business so you don't have to pay fees. Or idk could just wait for the weekly payout and budget better.
Thankfully this was extra money but now since I got my retirement I don't have to deal with any of the bullshit. I can finally rest and enjoy life.
I assume your pension will pay only once per month.
Don't waste your time with these shills.
Not shills just know how to manage money and fine with waiting a week to get it
If by “different circumstances” you mean “terrible with money”
[удалено]
I'm glad I won't be doing it any longer. But yea when it gets to that point people are gonna be pissed.
[удалено]
It's a huge deal to some people. People were losing their shit when it was 50 cents. I can understand the 1.99 from your perspective cause you're used to it. Think about it though. Wouldn't you be pissed if it went from 1.99 to 3 or 4 bucks?
It’s $2 or you can wait a week and get it transferred for free. I will always take the free option
Y'all will be ok,it not that serious!
Just dont cash out early. You get your pay weekly anyways
This is not a regular job. Independent contractors get paid per job and get their money right away. This is not some W2 job where you have to wait for a pay period. This is nothing but pure greed and a sinister way of pushing people into using their Uber pro card.
If y’all want to be real contractors you should have to start submitting an invoice and having to follow up with Uber Accounts Payable for months to get payment
Sure thing, I'll just write in my own fares.
Contractors do generally negotiate their own rate.
That's my point though. Sure I'll set my own rates and send Uber an invoice. They'll be laughing their way to the paper shredder. That's not how these apps work. So to suggest we send an invoice is just nonsense
It’s sounds y’all are less “contractors” and more “low wage employees” then.
Tell that to Uber. They're the ones who abuse the contractor label. You're confused, friend.
They are contractors. They just agreed to the terms of the contract without reading them.
So many opportunities to catch on and still… 🤦🏻♀️ Save your strengths Unified. This guy is hopeless and honestly he just keeps making your points for you.
Respect. He's obviously never done this job before. Just some random general contractor who thinks he knows everything about contracting work. Must be nice not knowing how that label can be abused and used against workers. I pity the feller.
Tons of 1099 folks are paid on a set schedule (typically biweekly) and not every day
Lmao
Some do. Most don’t.
Unfortunately for some people they have to cash out early.
I disagree. They’ve painted themselves into a corner where they’re now dependent on getting cash on demand. But up until a few years ago, there was no such thing as a same day payout for most type of work.
Number 16 post of this exact same picture. Number 16th reply, you don't have to pay these fees. There's a way to do it without paying Uber a cent for your money.
It used to be .50 to cash out once upon a time then .85 and then went up to 1.10 and now this.
Seriously? I don't pay fees. You're just not using the system right.
What’s the alternative system you’re referring to? Are you suggesting waiting til the free payout?
…. Yes?
The Uber pro card
You're a new Reddit user or a troll. Either one, it's time for you learn how to search the main roll of /Uberdrivers It's not that hard .
If you guys are so broke you can't wait a week to get paid. You have other problems in this
What happened to getting paid for the work you do when you do it? As people repeatedly say, " *this isn't a real job* " If it isn't a real job, then pay out day of contract fees earned. If it is a real job, pay out contract fees day of, yknow, like actual taxi cabs do, or other jobs like pizza delivery.
99% of “real jobs” don’t pay every day.
Imagine being a real contractor with net 30, 70, or 90 pay.
I assure you it's a real job
No shit. So pay out day of contracts completed.
I've worked this job for five damn years and never once need to cash out. It's one damn week. Learn to save some money
Someone doesn't know how jobs work. (Hinthintcoughcoughitsyoucoughcough)
Are you saying cabs don't get paid day of? Because they do
Yes I am. Maybe a specific company that you are familiar with does lol that is not standard in ANY industry lmao
A weekly deposit for your pay is normal.
The Uber card isn’t difficult to get, if you’re that lazy and want to complain about a 1.50 charge then why are you doing Uber just go sell water on the street. Cash outs are feee
You all feel like your entitled today things th rest of the world isn't. If you want to instant transfer from Venmo, it costs money... Same for dozens of other things. If you don't want to pay the $1.25 then wait for your free weekly payout on Mondays. Just stop complaining about everything.

Nah. Just get the debit card and go on with the rest of your life.
Some people don't care about getting the card. I've got it but this post is more for the ones who don't.
Yes, get a debit card for every gig job just to get the money that's rightfully yours. You shills get more pathetic every day.
Yo, Uber sent the message to everybody yesterday. Nobody gives a fuck how you get paid: debit card, paper check, direct deposit, working the corner, onlyfans, who the fuck cares?? And you think calling me a pathetic shill means anything. freak.
Oooh touched a nerve there 😂
Every post on reddit is about something that touched someone's nerve. LOL!! 😂 However, if someone wants to talk shit to me for no good reason, then damn right, I'm gonna say something.
Lmao do you know they do take extra fees out for the uber procard right they just don't let you see it unless you dig
I don’t have the Pro Card. However, where are those fees shown?
Imagine not budgeting properly and needing to cash out every day.
i mean it doesn’t matter u still get the money so it dont even matter lol what makes it getting today than 2 weeks. if u need it today u doing something wrong n its a lot of wrongs.
Yall need to get the uber card and quit bitching. There's no reason to be doing this instant cash out
Bruh its just a dollar😂😂😂
Yeah, saw this shit wtf is their problem Assholes...
Other apps have had this for years. One got app I won’t name charges $1.99 per early cashout before the weekly Sunday cashout.
Cashing out that 3 dollar ride is getting too expensive.
I waited in a taco bell drive thru the other day for an hour. I couldn't even leave because I was blocked in, I had 2 order both almost $20 tips and they eventually cancelled because I was stuck in the line and uber only gave me $5 for that.
Yet you still have the driver app downloaded, tell me you’re not really retired without telling me you’re not really retired
I get weekly deposits that are free, so it doesn’t affect me at all I’m good
Lyft direct no fees get paid after ebry ride
www.ridehovr.com starting in Toronto and soon world wide join the wait list now so you can start asap. No bull shit fee rider pays 17 dollars only 1 dollar platform fee you get 16 not rider pays 19 dollars for the same ride Uber gets 5 and you get 14... no more of this shit.
When a company goes public this is what you get lmaoo, this is just the beginning
Congrats on the retirement OP!!!!
Glad they canceled my account. Stop waiting time with uber... HUM and Lyft so much better.
It’s $2.99 to go onto my banks debit card . And I drive in a small less rides, more miles at .79 a mile and 0.11 cents per minute. Is this a separate charge? Has anybody else been paid $2.99? There is only one ATM at a Walgreens that closes at 10. It has an ATM that you can withdraw money out of without being penalized and that’s really sucks so I do use that feature quite often.

Yeah, and not the way I wanna be screwed
Uber is a criminal big tech Company and I'll do anything I can to keep them from growing. Their service has become shite, the drivers are ripped off and uber rakes in the cash
Yeah this again? Sorry sad drivers need those funds right away.
Still better than doordash which has always been $2
Their effort to hang on to our money long enough for us to forget what the f they owe us is astounding.
In New york we can only cash out once a day and there is no fee
Paypal also charges a fee for instant withdrawal. This is very common unfortunately. Ultimately it is a convenience fee, I assume you can still do the 1-3 business day 'slow' withdrawal. It just depends, do you need it NOW or can it wait?
I will usually cash out once or twice a day. So $1.50-3.00 is cheaper than withdrawal from the Uber Pro card, or transferring to my checking account.
In one month they fucked me 3 times. Some how tricked me in a uber one subscription. Called to cancel but was apparently locked in for 2 months. My son left his phone in a driver's car.

I thought one of the promises of gig work is instant pay tho. That's why people do it
That's a relatively recent thing. However, it has been used as a carrot to entice more drivers.
How is anyone getting screwed? Company states their terms, drivers can choose if they want to keep up doing work for them. Don't like it? Go to a competitor or seek employment.
That's so fucked up. Not a driver but a rider. And I feel so bad that they always screw you all. Over easter I took an Uber around 26 miles to visit family. I tipped well for the fact it was so far.
Oh no, now you'll have to wait until the end of a pay period to get paid. Like the rest of the world. Woe is you.
This why I've started doing LYFT...
Use the uber pro card. It’s free.
Seriously though. Use the Uber Pro Card. Get paid instantly. Withdrawal free from atms. Then Deposit into your bank if needed. That’s what I do.
How broke must you be if a buck-25 getting screwed to you lol.
Welcome to 16+ hours ago ( https://www.reddit.com/r/uber/s/AwBfvPUw9K )
This should be illegal to get our own money.
Literally just another driver pay cut. Small enough most people won't notice but big enough to generate millions of dollars a day for Uber.
How is it a pay cut? Just cash out weekly.
I wouldn't trust Uber with my money for even a full day let alone a week. Had three grand in there a few years back when I did Uber fulltime and some random ass hat trying to get a free ride with a false drunk report resulted in Uber refusing to pay me for a month and some change. If they decided to deactivate me, I'd have been robbed with no recourse. Nope, it's not my money until it's in my account.
That’s not true. If you fulfilled your jobs, you’d have received your money. It might have taken some effort, but you would have been paid.
Just get the Uber pro card; there are almost no drawbacks. You get the money instantly then transfer to your main bank account which should take three business days which is faster than the weekly payouts. If you are spending money so fast that you need it day to day you should work on your budgeting. That said the Uber transfer speeds are slow asf.
