I don't know if this saves you money, but if it is, you are certainly working pretty hard for it.

- xandrius 2y agoI do the same and it's really not more work. All the steps come rather smoothly when you have the goal in mind of not benefiting the app in any way.
- o999 2y agoNegligible saving for one ride, but I rely on Uber as I have no car and riding in taxis in my city is sometimes horrible, so it adds up on the long-run.
- kbenson 2y agoDo you have info, anecdotal or otherwise, on how much you think you save per ride in total and relative amounts? That might sound like a lot, but really I'm just wondering if you can estimate "I think I save about $X dollars on a fare that would cost $Y dollars otherwise."
- o999 2y agoBy leaving the app before booking, I often get 10%-20% off (it claims rates went low, of course it's just a retention discount), not sure about others. It doesn't work everytime btw.
- floatrock 2y agoYeah, and any individual vote doesn't make a difference, so why take the time to vote? I don't know man... saving a few bucks on the average HN 300k+ salary doesn't make a difference, but let people have their principles. Isn't that the source of the original hacker mentality and the stuff we like to celebrate here?
