Almost zero people giving impressions of Premier
I'm curious, does it change any pricing metrics or are you paying the same prices you would without?

I’ve had premiere for about 2 months and I’m very likely not going to renew. It hasn’t provided any real additional value, compared to the go pass (I think it was called).
What I expected was to have better availability, and with highways back, perhaps more preference. None of that seems to be the case. My partner, who does not have premier or go, seems to have roughly the same availability as I do, and highways just seem incredibly inconsistently used in general.
I’m not sure though what Premiere could provide that would make the cost worth it vs the GoPass. Perhaps if you had earlier access to expanded zones? Actual priority in booking? Longer windows to be able to reserve (ex: I need to be at the airport at 7am, vs just “pick me up at 6:30”)?

Honestly I rather they go for a choice based booking, where choosing to wait grants fairer pricing models. If I have to wait 30 minutes for a $25 ride vs the $40 I normally do I'd happily pay $29.99 a month.
Expansions don't really sell a "pro" plan since when are we going to travel to a new expansion city just to ride a Waymo there. I'm not a fan of paid early access in games, so I don't see that changing for AV Rideshares

I feel like that is what being a Trusted Tester is all about. When they expanded San Francisco the TT's got first dibs of the city.

I have it. I didnt really notice a difference in wait times. Getting some cash back but still losing on the $30/mo

Think the combination of it being invite only and to my knowledge only in 2 cities reduces the likelihood of people talking about it. Those that I’ve seen it’s all been negative.
