Then make sure to do those rides early. And hopefully they don't all disappear after the first ride.

7/9 disappeared on my account. Oh well we tried.

I used a code and they charged me anyway. I listened to Dan or JJ and took a screenshot, so I was able to get the ride for free.

I just realized you can schedule an uber for whenever.

I wonder how long I did not know about that.

make sure to check both prices first. ive had it only take off 2-3$ and based on the distance it could easily add a half hour to the trip

You got lucky.  Don't do it when you're in a rush

However don't they guarantee that the max is another 15 minutes or so? (depending on the ride distance im sure)

Also, if I schedule an uber pickup for 5 AM in NJ, would there be a car available at that hour? From general experience. On a weekday. Thanks.

Am I the only one that hates the new Uber app?

Downgraded to 3.134.8 and turned off updates.
So much faster and easier on my phone.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
