I been doing EBT just to get my acceptance rate up. I dont really like it for the fact that they are always high miles, sometimes even takes you out of the zone...so many wasted miles back to zone. Also its super rare to get a tip and most of the time the no tippers have thr most demands....also get rated low stars for no reason...was 5.0 before starting EBT with over 1000 deliveries and now at 4.95. It just ticks me off the non tippers are getting the food delivered for low cost to them but high cost to us.

I primarily dash in a suburb of Wichita KS and our hourly pay is 10.50 or 11.50 an hour, though they don’t consider the extra dollar as peak pay. It just depends on the day what they’re offering. I have never seen peak pay on earn by time. Lately, I’ve been working towards getting my gold and platinum rewards just to see if it’s worth it. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with EBT. I’m making over $20 an hour which means I’m still getting decent tips. Idk that I could have a wild hour and make 30-40 an hour on EBT like you might on Pay per order, but it has been fairly consistent.
@ovr4kovr Ай бұрын
I'm CA, there is a law that requires DD to pay a minimum hourly for active time. In my area it is $18 and uber pays $2 over minimum wage which is $16.00 in CA right now. My market does not have an "earn by time" as a separate option. I usually get an extra bump each week because earn by order doesn't generally yield that great of results.
@matthewhibbard4621 Ай бұрын
At 11:00 when you talk about the $ / mile, I'm curious if the mileage you are using in the calculation is the sum of the mileage on each offer, or is it the total miles from a mileage tracker from the start of your dash to the end that would include driving in between orders (like returning back to an area). In my area it is rare to get another order near / soon after dropping off one, you almost always have to come all the way back to the power strip which doubles the miles from what the app shows on the offer.

The only thing I find bad about working for time is that you are forced to accept almost all orders and when it is by order you have the possibility of declining bad orders and accepting the one with the best payment and that gives you more control of the offers you want to accept, good video Mark

Yesterday was start of holiday weekend I wish I had watched this before going out yesterday bc I’m thinking I needed by time for active hourly pay vs per offer on busy weekends plus the rain and delays at restaurants 😢 I decided to not go out this morning bc estimated make 50-60 over 4 hours not knowing what I was going deliver knowing it was 20-30 worth gas. So I’m doing research so I’m ready rest holiday week with a plan for travel and restaurants delays. Per pay was 7-8 hr which less than min wage job. I was curious how same runs would compared per time bc of travel weather and restaurants delays plus peak pay promo. One offer only 4.80 I declined some DD and Uber eats because I’d drop off location took me away from my preferred area or gas station

Not as good to be honest, maybe $1.10 per mile. I average about $1.40-1.50per mile on per order. Population is about 140,000 in city and a few adjacent small cities we have. I drive a prius so I get 55 mpg plus get the 67 cents per mile write off. I never dashed when I myself lived in San Diego. So I'm sure per mile would be higher there as well as Pittsburgh. here.

@fmstark5078 3 күн бұрын
makes it tough, you as a dasher have to accept all offers until you reach whatever your goal is. example.... if your goal is platinum it is 100 completed dashes, that is whenever you can get on the schedule, i know this for a fact for i was a Platinum, however i had to take some time off 36 days to be exact, My ratings were AR @ 98%, CR @ 100%, CusR 4.87, OT/E 92%, 1481 LTD's and zero deliveries last 30 days when i started dashing again, i was demoted to gold only because of my high ratings!!! if i followed the multi-apping cherry pickers advice i could be as low as a silver which we have seen is tough to get the higher paying offers. You as a dasher have no choice but to bite the bullet, schedule whatever you can that fits your schedule and accept all offers no matter what. The ability to schedule out a week in advance, use that to your advantage, schedule ASAP when slots become available and check it constantly cause ya never know when a time slot that may not fit your entire time of availability but can get ya more dashing time!! BTW i started dashing again 7/18 i have increased my LTD's by 62 as of 7/24, so only 38 more to go and i will be back at platinum level and most importantly.... back to having dash anytime status, which maybe discounted by some dashers but is actually a great benefit say ya have an extra hour or two before your normal scheduled time, Bingo, as a platinum you can jump in early or say you had plans not to dash but whatever reason you find that you can dash anytime to the rescue AND yes as a platinum i always schedule ASAP

My market is usually $11.25-$12.50. I actually love EBT. I can make $20-$30 hr. When I do per offer, I get mostly junk even as a platinum with 85%. Money is money. Why does it matter if it comes from tip or DD? The orders I get, 93% I would normally take anyway, so it’s like a built in bonus. Ex. I had an order that would’ve only been $10.00 per offer, but EBT was $16.54. I don’t like that I have to maintain 70% daily. I had to do a 180 day on my perspective.
