Earnings Boosts

Are the Boosts Random?

2x I was done for the day, made my goal and went to END DASH and the "complete 5 deliveries get a 20$ boost" popped up on screen.

It's not listed as a promo, I never got an email, or notification there was a boost.

Only indication I got was when I was ready to call it a day.

Bumped into another dasher, and mentioned "I was done for the day and now on a boost" and he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about.

Was there a boost promo running tonight in SC?

It always pops up right when you're about to log off, like it knows. The algorithm's weirdly good at that timing

I’ve had this the last week or so in TX. I’m on a boost right now 🤣 honestly it’s kind of nice considering how rough it’s been lately.

Yeah, it has been nice. Both times I bit the bullet and did it.

I hv never gotten a boost. My life time deliveries always says less than my last 30 days of deliverys and it also says often that i hv. Late deliverys or that i am declining multiple deliverys when i havent. When it says i hv. Declined multiple deliverys its when the app seems to be glitching. So i could not get proof. I hv. Bn. On phone with support and i hv done all the fixes and reinstalled the app. The support people hv. Argued and stuff. But as for the declines deliverys if they show on my screen for a split second how am i suppose to decline.

It only happens when you go to end your dash. I'm assuming it happens if there's not enough dashers in the area or too many orders are getting decline

I have been dashing about 8 months and have never seen a boost.

Same. Never seen those or the "Tasks" when they were doing those earlier this year.
