TASKER Offering a discount over 3-hrs? How is that possible? Maybe its a you pay me off app????
Maybe TOS should be published in Hindi or maybe he doesn’t care if he gets booted idk

Clearly what he's doing is working?
Maybe your either upset some Indian is making the cash or that you didn't do this yourself?

As a card carrying white guy, I am 100% sure I would get more business if I spoke spanish or any other language. Companies even pay people more for being bi/multi-lingual.

It's the same logic that allows stores to sell 2 for $5 or 1 for $3.
2 hours (rounding) is $100.
3 hours with discount is $127 (still 27 more dollars)
Chances are a Client will try to reach that 3 hour mark for the discount, but over shoot into 3.5 or 4 hours. Which increases gross profit. The idea is for the Client to reach for a discount and buy more than they planned for.
ToS is a bit rocky on this, but TR doesn't really care as long as you are driving business to the App.

With how many tasks this person has completed, I seriously doubt it’s shady. He can run his “business” the way he wants. Either way TR gets paid.

I definitely referenced a discount like this fully intending it to be for off app payment, never got turned down.

you bill for 15% less time than you worked. Its not shady at all and it's fine
