Just need one more order and then they send you nothing for 45 minutes.

I swear they only do offers in my area (or at least for me) when I’m not working/schedule and when I’m busy

Overall it's pretty good in Cali, but there are still inexplicable dead times right after it being busy sometimes. Is what it is. Idk how anyone does any of the apps without the hourly guarantee.

In vegas for example theres no pay adjust, but traffic flow is way better (except blv), and home prices are lower.

This is literally the case for me as well. Any day i plan on going but decide to do something else +$6 and +$30 back to back every single time. Go the very next day and nothing. Go to sleep and 5-7am +$6 :) , getting notifications 30 mins into the bonus period smh

I generally just ignore these offers now. Too many times I've gotten screwed out of them. If I get them, great. If not, that's fine too.

Yeah I mean it's more that it interrupts normal work. When there is no bonus things are pretty smooth, then most of the time there is a bonus I end up with a dead hour because of it.

Nah the best are simply $6 added to every order for like 2-3 hours

I guess you missed my sarcasm lol. $6 bonus every order would be nice if it existed.

Sorry, I actually did miss it, I thought you were being genuine because it looks like you probably got that bonus. And you never know, people love all kinds of stupid shit.😂 and the one that I mentioned it comes around at least once a week by me. And sometimes there’s two dollars added to every delivery sometimes I’ll make 10 extra bucks on that one. The six dollar one I usually miss out because I’m not out working when it’s on.

Yeah I don't worry about the missions that much especially since I'll usually just be working and not even know there was one and miss it from declines. But when I check most of the time I end up like above, pic was taken at 7:51 and I was already waiting 45 min without an order, after that picture they still didn't send me an order for almost an hour lol. Activity went to 0.

So often these will just kill whatever momentum I had going because what feels like people logging on for the mission and then nobody gets any orders.
