Got my first guarantee of $22/hr. Between 4pm and 4am. Must work 4 hour long blocks in a row. Must complete 1.5 rides per hour.
I assume that the "hour long blocks" are the little car icons they put on your weekly summary. What constitutes working that block? I logged in at 9:08. Did I work the 9:00 block?
Because of the guarantee, I didn't force myself into the city. Surprisingly no one wanted to go into the city, so I just worked the suburbs, instead of drifting that way. Figured I'd service the suburbs for easier driving.
I had 6 passengers at 1:00. Exactly 1.5 per hour. I was going to shut off at 1:08 working exactly 4 hours, but I got another ping. 7th passenger. Shut off at about 1:20. Does that mean I worked the 1am block and got screwed by a half a passenger?
Oh well. I could have forced the issue, but the suburbs are pretty slow. (Oh and **** you 4 cancellations in a row for potentially screwing me!). I kind of wanted to game the system while learning how the guarantee works. I guess I'll find out on Tuesday.
On the negative side, if that last ping screwed me I only made about $35. On the plus side if I get the guarantee I made a killing since I only drove about 40 miles all night. On the neutral side, if I only made 35, I still didn't use many miles or gas, even though it sucks.
I did learn that (with no guarantee) if my pax don't want to head downtown, I need to start drifting that way anyway. $35 and 7 rides would have been friggen terrible if I didn't want the learning experience. (Wasn't going to drive this weekend anyway, went out to check out the guarantee. Staying in tonight most likely)
