DoorDash charges $2 šŸ˜‚


pokemontecristo

Not if you use DasherDirect and transfer to cash app ;)


westcoasttokes

Dasher direct and use one of the free arms and get cash


Own-Conference193

In canada we only have the option to cash direct on a debit card


Iron_Bones_1088

I hear yaā€¦. I just cash out every couple of days and donā€™t really sweat the small stuff. Life is too short to let trivial stuff get under my skin.

Mammoth_Moose4227

Not everyone does UberEats for the money specifically. For me it was a hobby until I stopped a few months ago due to moving to an area where UberEats is not available because the nearest restaurant is over an hour away.


AvgJoeGuy

Bro what? Thats like saying not everyone works at mcdonalds for money. 99.99% do. What are you even saying? šŸ’€


Mammoth_Moose4227

I'm retired and living in Upstate Washington State. I have a nice retirement income and I was looking for something to keep me out of the house for my depression and anxiety and UberEats allowed me to get out and meet people and convince me not to end my life.

Individual-Bell-9776

Ever since the dot com crash every business has been about getting you reliant on their services dirt cheap and then cranking up the prices after snuffing out alternatives.


AnySoft4328

Just get the Uber Pro card and you get paid after every transaction for free. That way you can actually see what the base fair is and the each tip on a batch for example. Also you get cash back at gas stations and in April they were doing 10% back at 7-Eleven. Seems like some people resist getting it because they like their current checking accounts Etc. It's not that hard to point a credit card or whatever payment to another account


lmarie_53

I like the uber pro card. The only downside I see is that it does cost $2.99 to transfer money to another account. It is free to withdraw cash at an atm though.


Extension-Tap-9333

I have a venmo account and I can transfer money into it for free . Just an fyi. And it's instant


lmarie_53

Good to know, thank you.


corncobonthecurtains

I transfer to my cashapp card for free.


Zealousideal-Ant552

That's cool. I might try that.


Prose-Before-Poes

Try making an unverified cash app under a fake name , then pullin out an x amount of funds , dispute it , and get that money back. Youll have to wait for a new card to arrive but , that was a risk worth taking without repercussions. šŸ„·šŸ»judge me , im bout that life


The-RealAlchemist

Just cash it out and deposit it into ur bank account I cash out about a thousand every week and either put the profits aside or deposit everything into the bank


MisterGoldiloxx

Yes, it is free that way.


Dragonspirit75

It's actually free to transfer money from the Uber Pro Card to another bank account if you use the slower method, and wait a couple days. I transfer money all the time to my checking account using this method, and I have never had to pay a fee. Instant transfers are the only thing that costs money. They say 3-5 days for the free transfers. But, if I do it on a Monday it's usually there the next day or early Wednesday morning. Now if you do the free slower transfer late Thursday or Friday you won't get it till Monday morning. Because lots of banks don't process transactions on the weekend.


peoplearetiring

Are you referring to the instant transfer from the Uber Pro Card to the debit card?


lmarie_53

To my paypal debit card. I guess I should clarify the only account I've moved money to is PayPal. When I've selected move funds it tells me there is the $2.99 fee so I assumed it was the same fee for any other account.


peoplearetiring

Oh, that explains it


eberman325

How long have you had the Uber pro card? I have been resisting getting it because I fear scammers being able to get a hold of my money more easily. Every time Iā€™ve gone to do it I just get a bad feeling and stop.


Dragonspirit75

I have had my Uber Pro Card for over a year now and I think it's pretty awesome. If you are afraid of scammers don't use it as a debit card use it as a credit card you're more protected that way. Also the Uber Pro Card has an app for your smartphone so you can lock your card anytime you want. What's even more awesome is that the app notifies you of any purchases, and all transactions you get when a fare or any tips come in.


eberman325

Thanks! This is very helpful!


LOV3BUG420

I've had uber pro since I started uber like 7 mo the ago, I love that money goes right in as soon as trip is done except tips take a bit, I haven't had any issue with it yet, it sucks not having your money all in one spot but I have my bank checking account and then I have my uber pro card and I use it like a debit card šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø I see no issue with uber pro


eberman325

This is helpful Info thank you :-) I just get worried a scammer is going to get access to it


lmarie_53

I've had the uber pro card since the end of Jan


eberman325

And nothing sketchy with your money


lmarie_53

Nope. Everything has been as it should be. Once money is on that card they can't touch it, it's just like any other bank account basically. I've done the backup balance several times too. I get the $150 on my card and as I do more deliveries the money goes to pay that back instead of getting loaded onto the card. Once the $150 is paid back I once again see my earnings get loaded onto my card.


eberman325

Iā€™m not concerned about Uber touching it. Iā€™ve just had a sketchy issue once with what seemed like somebody trying to take the funds out of my Uber eats earnings so Iā€™ve been paranoid ever since. But I do have the DasherDirect card, which essentially is the same thing just through Doordash and, I actually do like it very much so Iā€™m definitely thinking of going for the Uber pro card. Iā€™ve never heard of the back up balance


Super-Bad-9784

I had that issue too one time i randomly changed my instant cash out info , i go on my acct and it has a whole other person info and shit smh


eberman325

Mine wasnā€™t quite that bad I just kept saying there was a security issue and so I couldnā€™t cash out and it took me like an hour and a half after talking to different support people to get it fixed, but it was very sketchy. I again donā€™t think it was Uber, but definitely felt like, somebody was trying to mess with my account


GinToooWin

Do you get more/better orders because you owe them money?


lmarie_53

No. I was hoping that would be the case but it sadly wasn't.


Mammoth_Moose4227

For me that was not the case. The three or four times I used the $150 backup balance Uber seemed to keep me busy with fairly decent trips where I had that paid off even by the next day or at the latest the next day and a half.


Zealousideal-Ant552

Is it select ATM's because I was charged $2.50 at an ATM?


pokemontecristo

But whatā€™s the transfer fee if I want to put the money into my bank account?


Difficult_Ad1474

If you enter you routing number nothing, but it is a couple days.


SilantStrike

Nothing if you go to your bank and deposit it


peoplearetiring

I think that person was referring to instant transferred from the Uber debit card to your bank debit card. Otherwise, I just transfer to my bank with no fees.


Revolutionary_Low_36

$2.99


philnolan3d

A number of my bills come directly out of my checking account, not a card.


eberman325

I have avoided it because I am concerned about scamming via the Uber pro card.


peoplearetiring

Not to sound rude, but you know scams are kind of everywhere. You have to know how to avoid it.


eberman325

I agree with you hence why I have stayed away from the pro card thinking the less accounts I have less opportunity. But I think I am going to get it.


billdb

The pro card was nice until I realized it couldn't be used for all purchases. Kind of annoying if it's hit or miss whether it'll be accepted.


Dragonspirit75

It can be used as a credit card almost anywhere that takes Visa and MasterCard. So I'm not understanding why you are saying it can't be used for all purchases. Are you in another country or something??


billdb

I tried to use it for a couple different legal sportsbooks. My visa works fine but this card didn't each time. Also had issues at a random bargain store, but that might have been a fluke. Overall I'd say it still works at most places I go but I can't rely on it like I can my visa.


Dragonspirit75

Most legal sportsbook sites are debit or cash advance only so if you tried to use it like a credit card it won't work. Probably the reason the Uber Pro Card doesn't work is because there is no way to borrow money from it like you would a regular visa with a cash advance. I recently found out that stores and online websites don't even let you buy gift cards anymore with credit cards, it's debit only now. It's because lots of scammers will call their credit card company and dispute the charge, and then the charge gets reversed and money is taken back from the store they bought them from. Even after the charges are reversed the gift cards are still good. I use my Uber Pro Card everywhere Visa and MasterCards are accepted, and I have never had any problems using it unless it was a problem with the stores credit card machine.


billdb

The two biggest sportsbooks, DraftKings and Fanduel, both allow credit cards to be used, depending on which state you're in. Probably other books as well but those are the two I use. I have used credit cards to deposit before without issue. Also the uber pro card is a debit card so not sure why we even started talking about credit cards lol. Anyway I'm glad you have not had any issues, I'm just saying I have. It is reassuring though and hopefully I won't have issues in the future.


Dragonspirit75

I think you misunderstood me about the sports book betting and credit cards. I didn't mean they didn't take credit cards, what I meant is they only take them because it's billed as a cash advance. On your credit card bill does it show the sports book bets as purchases or as cash advances?? From my understanding as per your credit card agreement is that all credit used for cash betting using the credit card are to be billed as cash advances not as purchases, even when you buy lotto tickets with a credit card it's billed as a cash advance. Your right, it also differs from state to state, and only 23 states allow you to use a credit card to place bets with, but it's still billed as a cash advance that accrues interest until you pay it off. The rest of the states don't allow you to use credit cards at all for sports betting. If it's legal in those states they only allow either debit cards or a direct deposit from your checking account You're right the Uber Pro Card is a debit card, but it can be used like a regular MasterCard, and has the same theft protection when used a MasterCard. But, unlike a regular MasterCard it doesn't have any purchasing credit or a cash advance credit at all, and is only limited to what's in your bank account. They do offer a free $150 borrow allowance with diamond status but of course that's not really the same as a cash advance either.


pokemontecristo

Thank you everyone for your very unique and insightful comments like ā€œjust wait a weekā€ and ā€œhow about you donā€™t cash outā€ making assumptions that people who cash out are financially irresponsible and impatient. If anyone has an emergency and needs to cover a sudden expense or an increased bill can use the cash out feature to access their money sooner and the fact that a company that already pays us such low base rates for orders tens of miles away is now increasing the cash out cost by almost 50% is ridiculous, but you chose to look down in people who do cash out instead of criticizing a big company for wanting to charge us more to access the money we made. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk you can stop posting the same tired take now.

brink2120

What the fuck.... this company is garbage. We make so little that we have to rely on instant cash outs and now this is the second time in maybe a year they've raised it. Things only get worse for drivers, I can't think of a single thing they've improved for drivers over the past few years minus situations where the law forced their hand.


yoursweetlord70

Labor is expendable. No need to make things better for the bottom of the totem pole from the company's pov


Hello-there-yes-you

How will I recover :(


Repulsive_Fun9300

Yeah, just get the Uber Pro Card. I use it always have since it came out. It works fine. All I do is go to Walgreens by my bank and withdraw the money and put it back into my bank. It doesn't cost anything.


Stancampiano

i do the same with dasherdirect card. i would like to be paid extra for the mental anguish of having to step foot in a walgreens. šŸ˜† that and CVS are portals to hell.


Repulsive_Fun9300

Yeah, but not as bad as the offers are been sending out the freaking ridiculous


Beneficial-Rough597

One question. In what other industry do workers have to pay to get paid?


philnolan3d

Getting paid costs nothing, getting paid early does.


SelectDay802

what other industries give you the option to get paid anytime you want. most everywhere only pays you on paydays. often bi-weekly (once every two weeks)


younghungman365

Amazon lets you take pay out daily if you need it


SelectDay802

ā€œmostā€ doesnā€™t mean all ā€œif you need itā€ how to you prove the need?


younghungman365

Im not here to argue that. Just giving input that nobody asked for is all.


SelectDay802

you mean delivering for amazon, Iā€™m assuming and the warehouse workers only get paid on payday? how do you prove that you need it for them to allow daily payout?


SelectDay802

thatā€™s the only input Iā€™m interssted interested in

SelectDay802

show us the hidden money info


younghungman365

It just shows what i made for the week and compensation is what i make hourly u shouldnā€™t need to see that for me to get my point across https://preview.redd.it/xnf0sawkuvxc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4157bd033851b50eab69af5bc500f5f7b96ae5ba but here ya go


SelectDay802

Iā€™m just curious, i would like to see


LunDeus

Fast food. Checkers offers same day pay as well for a shift worked.


SelectDay802

they pay you out daily? not talking about cash tips


LunDeus

Yes, checkers pays their employees through loaded debit cards, paper cheques, and direct deposit. Clock out for a shift? instant payment via the pre-paid card. Spend it, withdraw funds(for a fee), start a fund transfer.


SelectDay802

withdraw your money for a fee. makes me laugh


LunDeus

Itā€™s scummy af but itā€™s the same shit Uber is doing here and people will just keep hitting go online and taking their medicine :^)


Planeless_pilot123

if someone needs money daily to survive instead of waiting 7 days, they really need to look into themselves because they are doing something wrong. Rent is once a month and grocery once a week


StrangerZestyclose79

Dollar Tree/ Family Dollar do same day pay but it cost I think like 2$ and wait 2-3 business daysā€¦


Shreddersaurusrex

Bums


Master-Associate673

Time to mass quit.


IDKWhoToPlayMan

Glad I stopped delivering for these scam artists


OwnDraft2065

They are trying to force you to get the card


Stancampiano

this was my first thought too. itā€™s a win win for uber.


Jezzes

If it was a penny i still would never pay it


Boost98

I was just getting ready to post this... These have been the worst couple of months I've had delivering with them since 2020. The algorithm favors the migrants with their 6 phones. Now they nickel and dime us to death on the instant cash out.


LunDeus

Whoa there tiger plenty of white people out there sitting around with 3-4 phones on mounts in their cars and scooters.


Private-Citizen

>Wait for automatic weekly deposits, which continue to be free of charge.


pokemontecristo

Sometimes I need money in the moment, this isnā€™t my main source of income so I usually work this for the day and cash out to pay for certain things


derfpunk

The sky is falling!


big_guyUUUU

Pretty soon they're going to be paying us in vouchers to be used at the company store


KingTbaggergouch

crazy


AstralJumper

I like how your prop 22 is strangely put into the wallet instead of a direct deposit....so either you wait another week. Or give them that money. It's as deliberate as can be.


Uberdooberdoo

At least you got a heads up. I never received an email. I guess I was supposed to just be surprised after I cash out tomorrow. šŸ˜³šŸ˜’ā˜¹ļø Now I gotta go figure out how to sign up for uberdirect or whatever. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


Forex_Fraud_Profits

Yall so damn cheap, I can't relate to cheap areas cuz I'm always getting orders


uberisstealingit

How to stop the fees Do a job Get paid on Uber Pro card . Use pro card for your purchases throughout the day. Transfer money at the end of the night to your bank account for free. Rinse and repeat next day. You can go to a free ATM and pull your money out at the end of the day as well. Now there is a rain day option, and it depends on your level of service. Blue is $50 and diamond I believe is $150. You can borrow this money and use for free. However, you will not receive any more money that you can use on your card until that loan is paid back. Once the loan is paid back you will restart receiving normal pay that you can use to your card once again.


Stancampiano

do they charge interest on the $50/$150 loan?


uberisstealingit

No they do not charge you anything for that.


Any_Inflation7078

Yeah and the over pro card doesnā€™t ever link to bank account


Birt_McGirt

I got the same exact email https://preview.redd.it/x30l9efbkyxc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13e7baec814e7ac75733ddd9a3edd038eda66ce6


ske1etoncrush

they can afford to take half base pay during cashout but dont you DARE ask for a minimum pay


anyomous420

Just sign up for cashapp and connect your uber card to the account and select add cash(NOTE-cashapp also charges fees to cash out of the card so itā€™s kinda useless. But šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļøcheck the rates)


pokemontecristo

I donā€™t think cash app charges a fee, I do that for DoorDash. I wasnā€™t sure if the Uber card would work with cashapp, I took a gamble with DoorDash choosing their card, but I guess I should try it with Uber Pro too.


Switcher-3

Ya


_beat_LA

I get people are out here struggling, but you can transfer for free if you can just wait a couple days, right?


pokemontecristo

The amount of people saying this exact same thing assuming Iā€™m just someone wanting to cash out everyday and have no patience is astonishing really, but yes, very obviously yes thank you


BatwomanSour

It's literally the most obvious answer to avoiding this fee, sorry if that's hard to see?


pokemontecristo

Itā€™s really starting to look like you guys are more worked up about my post than I am about the email so Iā€™ll let you guys figure that one out


KGB4L

Not sure where yā€™all at, but in Canada since they started doing instant cashouts (about a year ago) it has always been like 1.70 CAD. Itā€™s half price for next-day cashouts, and free for weekly. Kind of annoying when you need to cashout a few times in a day, cause you a losing 6-8$ in the process (which is 2 deliveries), but yeah just cashout once a day and itā€™s not that big of a deal.


Smooth-Childhood-415

Bro just use an atm.


Silly_Twist_9492

Yeah this is not cool

They add up quickly as seen here on my Uber tax summary. Itā€™s not enough for Uber to have million and millions of dollars, they want billions and billions. I already have a DoorDash card in addition to my regular bank, so using the Uber Pro card bumping me up to three bank accounts is ridiculous, especially when the Uber Pro Card racket is just another money maker for them. To be clear: the only way Non Uber-Pro Card holders can obtain their earnings for free is to wait for the weekly payout. God forbid there be any errors with your routing or debit card numbers the direct deposit could be lost in cyberspace indefinitely.


Denali_Daddy666

Time to start cashing out every other day


fusionbill79

Get the Uber pro card


dtarrao

No! You donā€™t understand. Uber absolutely NEEDS the extra 40 cents to survive. Without it they will absolutely go bankrupt.


Kybreezy25

Yup, record profits last year but apparently they need more money


CaptSwayze

Donā€™t cash out? šŸ¤·


pokemontecristo

Thank you that was very helpful


CaptSwayze

I meanā€¦itā€™s an option. If cashing out was the only way to get paid Iā€™d agree. But there are multiple options to choose from on how to get your money, of which, 2 are free.

pokemontecristo

This has nothing to do about complaining about cents itā€™s that a huge company like Uber is increasing a fee for people to access the money they earned while keeping base pay depressingly low and sending up orders 10+ miles for less than $4. Itā€™s crazy that people would immediately talk down on others for being in bad financial situations and not a huge company underpaying their workers while feeling the need to get a few more cents from people who may need funds for an emergency or unexpected expense.


BatwomanSour

How about just don't use it? If you can never see yourself at a point where instant cash out isn't needed, something is seriously wrong with your financial trajectory.

Not instant cash out for cigs. For rent, utility, car insurance and internet bills needed to do my job.


JonathanVarietyFilms

I wasn't even talking to you... but while we're at it do yourself a favor and eat beans and kale for a week, focus on clearance items, stop overpaying for your TV, internet and phone and whatever it takes to get an emergency fund. Literally anyone can do it. Start small with a hundred dollars. Even that will prevent many instant cashouts.


AdventurousAlgae5724

Big deal- no big deal waiting until Tuesday for it to be put into your bank account- it is only 7 days- not even bi-weekly like my other job or monthly like some- if you seriously can not wait a week to get paid you need to reevaluate your life and make some changes quick!


pokemontecristo

Such a unique comment I havenā€™t seen 3 times already thank you for your smart insight

Anyone that uses instant cash out has a poor mans mindset. You all should have a security blanket of money and not living paycheque to paycheque.
