What kind of shit is that? Get punished for using DF and basically end up anywhere snd everywhere the algorithm wants you to, no more relying on the system to find you rides that take you to your desired location without taking a chunk out of your fare. Just when you think they can't make this gig any shittier, they surprise you.
Yes, I know that's what their stated policy is, but that does not mean that is what they are actually doing... my point is, you have no way of knowing this... they most likely are adding these sums into their own pockets to lessen their overall losses...

Well... Here in DFW they just took the DF away. Temporarily, Uber said, but I'm sure when/if it comes back, it will have a reduction in pay, for sure. That's what they were asking about in the stupid survey.
Problably not. Dallas, at least core is un abashed with street hail style drivers & guys who camp at hotels sniping pax @ uberXL prices in SUV's. A 30% cut would make everyone else on uberX do it as well & they know it.
yeah, uber sucks right now, the easy fix, since DF doesn't apply to "quest" anyways, is to switch over to lyft for the last ride home. Or, if you are like me, just stop uber all together and switch back to lyft.
Thank you foreign morning airport drivers here that actually use the filters and then call to 100% confirm long trip......it always takes the bad apples to ruin it for everyone.
Lyft is like a dog sniffing Uber's butt...Uber mentions rate cuts..week later they match
Uber mentions DF changes and three days later, Lyft has it on messages, updated DF.....sniff sniff!!!
I'm sure by next week they'll match the 30% cut next
I guess the simpler fix is to do what I do : since I only drive and lyft DF sux. I reject any ride that goes too far from home and after 5 or 6 hours when I do get a ride near my home I call it a day
I don't even understand how taking money a driver earned and giving it to other drivers could even be legal. Just because Uber notifies you of something doesn't mean it's legal.
Uber's own pay statement shows exactly how much money the driver earned, and how it was calculated. And then you take it away? That can't be legal.
If I were OP, I would find a few other drivers on my local city forum and go directly to the NC state Attorney General's office.
Forget lawsuits that only benefit the lawyers -- sick the Attorney General on Uber!
You are getting a run, that should be going to ants, probably multiple ants near the pax .. it might take you 7 minutes to pick up that pax vs 2-3 min for others ants near the pax . Pax also waiting few extra minutes ( possible)
Pax could also decline the run due to wait time and switch to Lyft.
It is also possible that other ants used DF to snatch away few runs from you?
What if 5 ants near the pax have better ratings ?what if 5 ants near the pax All have newer cars???
Algo could still give you the DF run without the DF..
Give it few days, you will have ants posting free $$$ given to them
DF- I rarely use DF, especially going home. It could be my neighbor I am picking up , which is the worst thing that can happen . DF- no guarantee that DF will take you certain way... if you are going east, ping could easily be taking a pax to the west .
Turn on Destination Filter.
Get a desired call going in the direction you want.
Get pax in car.
Talk to pax in person about destination before starting trip.(make sure it's where you want to go)
Apply your acting skills.
Cancel ride "on accident" using driver app. (do not charge rider) (act flustered and apologize profusely)
Apologize to pax and ask them to order the ride again.
Go online and accept non filtered ping from pax in car.

Apologize to pax and ask them to order the ride again. Go online and accept non filtered ping from pax in car, and hope you actually get the ride (because it DOES happen where another driver gets the ping), then have to explain to the pax what to do next, hope they can navigate the app on their end, have to answer to them why they are having to go through all the nonsense, hope again another driver doesn't get the ping again (yes this has happened to me multiple times)......................

It happens, took 3 times one time. Not really a big deal. Also if the PAX is having trouble just tell them you can assist them and ask to see their phone.
Most people understand making a small mistake like I say stuff like "oh man, I don't know why Uber puts the cancel button so close to the start trip button, I'm so sorry."
