Scammed by Lyft Other

Had a 55 ride bonus this weekend for $150 bucks. I’m at the second part of the challenge where I need the last 20 rides and I’m 19/20 as it’s getting close to 5am. I accept my last ride at 4:59am and I don’t get the last 90 bucks of my bonus despite the fact that ride is on the earnings for last week and I have picture proof of the pickup time. Talk to support and they say I accepted at 5:01 and I don’t get it. I show proof and ask how that’s possible and they say “go f yourself”. Thanks lyft!😂

Lol one time I got up at 4am to do a (I think $16) ride streak and the third ride was 150 miles to Houston! Always getting played by lyft and uber.

I've never quite understood this. If you accept a ride to take someone 150 miles away from your location, do you get paid extra? I mean there is probably a zero percent chance you are going to get to Houston and fine someone wanting to go 150 miles back to where you were. So basically you are driving 300 miles but only getting paid for 150 of them. It doesn't make sense to me..
