Have you ever recently seen it not in Prime Time?

How long is it extended until? I have already used 10 rides...its been great. Early in the morning and on many evenings there is either no prime or 25% tip. I took two rides from Wall St to Grand Central: One was $3 after credit, one was $11. Can't beat that! The others were free.

Primetime could be 75%, so 25% is not bad.

Took my first ride today $8 + 25% prime time tip = $10.

(Driver was super nice with some advice on how to 'DDF' their system... by dividing a longer trip into several $25 trips in order to benefit from the $25 free rides...

Interesting because some claim that could get your account closed. He's probably an uber driver that joined LYFT for the incentives being offered to the drivers.

Ive taken at least 2 rides with no prime tip. Both were before 7:30 am however.

I have read (and a driver told me) they will extend credits in your account since people arn't getting to use them...

Did he say for how much longer ?

sidenote: is the app draining anyone else's battery, specifically on android? I have to force stop the app in settings or else it will eat my battery.

can anyone confirm that these credits will only work in nyc?

Spent one day this week bouncing around Manhattan for free in nice, clean cars. My rides were $13-18 each but I made sure that with tip they totaled $25 so the drivers got a the extra amount, which didn't cost me anything!

Is it easier to get drivers now ?

From speaking with them the credits only apply if the car originates in their NYC service area (basically 5 boroughs). Not sure what happens if you travel outside the service area - I'd guess it would apply.

My (9) waitings range from 3 to 18 minutes.

Update:
I got 15 free rides today bouncing around brooklyn and Manhattan and only paid a total of $12, less than it would have to take the train. It was SO worth it in the rain and heat, and I got to charge my phone

.
Some rides had 0,25,50,75% tip.
THEY LIMITED THE TIP TO $3 OVER THEIR CHARGE SO NO MORE GOING UP TO $25 IF THE RIDE+MANDATORY TIP IS LOWER THAN $22. (This happened shortly after I posted this last week. Coincidence??)
I was told that the promo is over. If someone can try signing up and and see if they get the 50 free rides that would help me

I have over 30 rides left through next week so I'll make sure to try

Just used another 5 rides to and from Reserve Cut

What a night!!

Tried signing up for this promo for someone else and I can confirm that it is over. The only thing that works now is the free referral ride on both ends.
