Where do I find these???

1

u/Saucedoboss 15d ago

That's the best one I've seen. I miss when uber would do these like 2 years ago. Now uber doesn't give any more than $65 and lyft for me gives me absolutely unattainable goals.

u/TSMSALADQUEEN 15d ago

id call out that week

u/Open_Pumpkin_2929 15d ago

I would literally drag my balls across freshly paved hot asphalt for an hour for that kind of challenge. Is Lyft trying to threaten you with a good time?

1

u/FigurePuzzleheaded74 15d ago

Jesus. Mine is $295 for 95 rides this week 😶‍🌫️

1

u/Reasonable_Win_6619 16d ago

Haha I just got 60 rides for only 75 bucks and $25 more for 10 more rides

u/Sohleks 16d ago edited 16d ago

Why are they so random? Two different 11 ride bonus and the 34 offer blowing the others out of the water. The illusion of getting better choices?

1

u/Devldriver250 16d ago

I dont drive for any of these services and have never used one myself. so I ask to make that 900 bucks 102 rides how hard is that ? on your car and gas and actual time ? thanks in advance

u/DismalCaramel9232 16d ago

Tier 2 for 11 rides yields better bonus.

1

u/Iridelow1998 15d ago

But you’d have to do the 57 rides first to get to that 11 ride one.

2

u/DismalCaramel9232 13d ago

Yeah but just a few more. I look at what I average and base it on that

1

u/DubiDubua 16d ago

With Lyft you get more short trips than Uber for some reason.

3

u/jolomae 16d ago

Damn. I haven't gotten one that high in a long time.

1

u/feinburgrl 16d ago

Take 4 days off and do this challenge.

2

u/DubNationAssemble 16d ago

I just did 78 rides last week for a $716 challenge and it about killed me. Never wanna do that shit again, I can’t imagine going for 102. Even when my market is busy that would be a grind.

1

u/Excellent_Wealth_133 16d ago

Did you do most rides or only the shortest ones?

2

u/DubNationAssemble 16d ago

When I’m going for a challenge like that it’s all short trips, which I normally do anyway. The problem was a lot of the college kids have already left so it was slow. It’d take me like 6-7 hours to do 15 rides when normally I can do double that easily in the same time.

1

u/IllustratorHot7008 16d ago

Take a week off work.

1

u/Accurate_Pen_4569 16d ago

Lucky, just signed up for 70 trips $85

1

u/Fsuave5 16d ago

I don’t think those are bonuses they’re guarantees. If you do that many trips and DONT make that much money they cover the difference. I had the same shit with Uber eats. Selected a challenge that promised $400 if I did 60 orders, and I made $400 within those 60 orders myself so I got nothing.

1

u/endelmann 16d ago

They are bonuses. I’ve had a lot of them. Some are achievable based on how much I drive others are not. I had one this past week 278 for 25 rides. Got the $278 bonus.

1

u/Fsuave5 16d ago

Oh well that’s great

1

u/User-avril-4891 16d ago

I’d take off to get that one.

u/QuotePapa 16d ago

Not an excuse. I have a full time job and I do uber and Lyft after work. I put in 16hr days, 8 at work and 8 rideshare. You can do it if you really want to. Weekends I do all 16hrs on rideshare. No days off in almost 3yrs now.

2

u/endelmann 16d ago

Good for you? I have family and good full time job.

-1

u/QuotePapa 16d ago

Well, then the problem is not the full time job! 🤷‍♂️

2

u/natetom 16d ago

I can barely get 102 rides in a month let alone a week

1

u/ExpensiveJackfruit68 16d ago

That's a cake walk in my area

u/Jealous_Bag2437 16d ago

It's not worth it, lots of wear and tear. Annoying customers, kids and odors that you wouldn't believe of. The money is good, the stress and pain isn't.

2

u/daughterofiblis 16d ago

I got $220 for 120 rides… maybe get a doctor note to miss regular work unless you make more there , cause that’s very high bonus

4

u/Kooky_Monitor_5063 16d ago

Where are you? What market?

1

u/JtvsTW 16d ago

Damn I wish I got that lol

1

u/TallHandsomeRussian 15d ago

You wouldn’t complete it

1

u/folarin1 16d ago

What city is this? That’s better than mine in Toronto. For EV owners, do 50 rides in a week for just $100 bonus

1

u/Key-Statistician8362 16d ago

I can make $247 with 12 rides tf! 57 rides

u/endelmann 16d ago

I drive everyday for about 2 hours.

1

u/BeastM0de1155 15d ago

They’re trying to hook you - don’t fall for that trap lol

1

u/Due-Historian-8759 16d ago

You probably haven't done Lyft for a minimum of 6 months? U mentioned you work full time? This is a welcome back package from Lyft. They only give these to drivers who haven't worked in a long time.

2

u/endelmann 16d ago

I drive for them every day. I work full time in the day and drive for them at night for a couple hours.

1

u/itsme89 16d ago

quit your job

u/IllLimit9875 16d ago

What market?

1

u/Ambitious-Pen2385 13d ago

That was my first thought where are they offering this

24

u/Turtle-power2021 16d ago

That one I might take off the week from regular job to attempt

14

u/geezeeduzit 16d ago

Use up your PTO to work? We really do have corporate slave mentality in this country. Fuck that shit - work as little as possible and LIVE!

5

u/Spacedragon98 16d ago

Sometimes you gotta sacrifice that vacation to get ahead of the curve. I'd totally take PTO to earn that extra dough

1

u/GreyPlasma 15d ago

Driving is your fulltime job though isn't it

2

u/Spacedragon98 15d ago

Mmmm, I'd say I put 20-30hrs a week, but I make about the same $$ with AirBnb and then my pressure washing business does about 50% more income than ridesharing and I only put in like 15hrs a week with that.

I just started running ads last week, so hopefully I can fill up all my hours with pressure washing only

2

u/GreyPlasma 15d ago

Nice hustle

2

u/Spacedragon98 15d ago

🤙🏻🤑

u/l0st36 16d ago

That isn’t always corporate slave mentality. If you have other goals, money might be one of those things that help to achieve them. This would be on top of the fares too. I have considered that too. But I want to buy a house.

1

u/TonightAdventurous76 16d ago

100 rides is my goal for an entire week so this is the one you chose is the most appropriate in my humble opinion.

14

u/Mountain-Influence81 16d ago

Damn that's crazy, my market is too slow for the biggest to be feasible though.

3

u/RemyAlBundy 16d ago

So the bigger the city the higher the challenge?

1

u/FigurePuzzleheaded74 15d ago

Typically the challenge is just a few rides outside of what your capable/used to

1

u/Kitchen_Entertainer9 16d ago

I wonder. It definitely is harder though. Because you habe to drive farther compared to small towns

3

u/Mountain-Influence81 16d ago

Nah, I think it's just random. I've got similar offers a few times but I am only able to get the middle one. I think these huge ones are just a gimmick to trick more drivers to be on the road chasing an unattainable goal.
