Uber Boston – $40/hr for Valentine’s Day Weekend!
This was the email I received just a few hours ago. They have been running a promotion until Feb 16th where they pay you $20 an hour to drive on Uber, $25 on some specific Friday and weekend hours. Well this promotion is even better, a guaranteed $40 an hour. This doesn’t limit on how much you can make because of all the potential surge pricing that will go on during Valentines Day weekend. With the snow coming in, I would think that there would be a lot of weekend plans instead of just on Valentines day.
Uber started a limited time hourly rate just after Lyft removed their floor earnings. I believe that this is working well for Uber as this is getting many Lyft drivers to drive for Uber. They are also running all sorts of new driver bonuses ($250 for completing 20 rides, keeping all your earnings for 30 days, etc). Uber drivers tend to make $20 or more an hour anyway so Uber can easily cover the minimum hourly rates for their drivers due to more overall demand on their system.
Too bad I can’t take advantage of this promotion as I’m out of town this weekend. I hope others can take advantage of it!
