Vip?! I don't like those pax. They think you're lucky for picking them up f%@#^$ that. Plus they will rate you bad if you don't open the door for theme or offer them a drink. Good luck with that.
I never open door for Pax . All VIP customer i act like I don't speak English I take my time to when thier in a rush Pax be like I'm late so in my mind I'm like say no more drive even slower
Wow, you don't have to be that extreme. Just put them in their place if or rather when they start go get out of line. Let em know who is running the show.
The problem is that VIP pax thinks he is really VIP because of status that Uber gave them, they think they deserve it and expect to be treated like that, but in reality any pax can be VIP with low rating? Just use your Amex and that's it
Just received Vip status again even though I emailed before requesting them to remove me from the " Vip drivers" list. What a lousy system. No perks or incentives for being a VIP driver! Just entitled pax and longer than usual pickup time. Horrible way of making some drivers feel good about their VIP status.
What is your rating? Just curious about what the requirements for VIP status is. I've been at 4.89 and 4.9 since I started. I never got invited to do VIP. Well, my cancellation rate is over 50% on Uber right now, so I guess that's why.

Hey, hey, hey.... Amex Platinum or Centurion (black card) ONLY. I've been considering adding my eligible card to myUber account but I don't like putting my AX card number on web-based apps.... just can't wait for the day this internet crap gets hacked and my number stolen. I've had this number for a LONG time and I don't wanna end up having my number changed if I become a victim.
Yes, but what happens is that when you have a lower rating, people get comfortable giving you low ratings. And, I thought Uber deactivates people once they get around a 4.6.
I was wondering about that. I read somewhere that VIP riders do get upgrades sometimes to SUVs etc. But, I imagine those guys want big tips. The only reason I would activate my VIP rider membership is because Uber gives $15/mo free rides in addition to VIP membership. (I have one of the metal Amex cards...so I don't have to take a minimum number of rides or have a certain rider rating... although my rider rating is 5.0 on uber). No idea about Lyft.
Well don't get me wrong. As a rider is a whole different ball game. I see why not become one as I said before, it'll increase your chance of getting into an upgraded platform of ride like XL BLACK or SUV. Also if you get $15/month ride worth you should take advantage of that.
When I use to get VIP Pax I would thing ok this is a easy going Pax that's friendly and it demanding. And that was my experience with VIP last year , now it seems everyone is a VIP so I don't even notice that shit when I get a ping I just be looking to make sure I'm not accepting a poop trip or so really far away trip .VIp none VIP don't matter to me .
It works now with the 45 min warning. For those of us who want long rides and are not chasing promos, vip is an extra ping that can be a long ride to jfk or wherever. Just ignote the shorties thats all
