High pressure time offers that are only known after signing up kind of stink too.
I've never used Uber in my life but I'll be traveling internationally next month for the first time so I figured it wouldn't hurt to install Uber now to get a feel for what the UI is like.
As soon as I signed up Uber was like, hey we'll give you 50% off your 4th ride if you complete 3 rides within 14 days. I won't even be traveling by the time the offer runs out. All this does is make me feel like I made a mistake for signing up too early without knowing anything was going to happen.

- zamadatix 2y agoI had something similar once but editing "Location" in https://riders.uber.com/profile https://riders.uber.com/profile fixed it for me. YMMV
- zamadatix 2y agoUber goes nuts with offer notifications until you find the page to turn ALL of them off (quite a few, and broken out by category like Uber Eats vs Uber). The overall app is good enough, it's just a unfortunately spammy. As a ridiculous example: I took an Uber from an office to the Indianapolis airport then an Uber from the Dallas airport to a hotel for the night. As I'm winding down for the night I get a notification from Uber: "Need a ride back to ${indianapolisOffice}?".
