Typical marketing strategy of Malaysian companies. Throw low price, hope to gain some return customers.

Hi,

I have actually written a post on PHG earlier which you can refer to for a deeper understanding.

I can address your issues as follows:-

1) PHG are divided into blocks, typically on a weekday 6am to 10am is considered one block, 11am to 2pm is considered one block, 4pm to 8pm is considered one block.

2) You will need to be in the core service area 70% of the time during a particular block to qualify for the PHG

3) You will need a minimum of 1 trip per block to qualify for PHG i.e. For 6am to 10am, you need to have minimum of 1 ride.

4) You will need to have 0.75 trips for every hour you are online throughout the entire week to qualify for the PHG. i.e. Let's say you were online for 20 hours for the entire week, but you only did 5 trips, you won't qualify for the PHG.

5) Let's say you got RM150 in gross fare from 6am to 10am, you won't qualify for the PHG as the amount that Uber underwrite is only RM30 x 4 = RM 120. If you earn more than that, you won't qualify for it, which is why I said earlier its more of a safety net, not so much an incentive

6) My advice to you is to drive where the rider brings you, and trust the Uber system to find you a rider and keep driving. Aim for a figure you can see in your partner app, and any PHG you receive at the end of the week you consider it as a bonus. It's pretty demotivating if the net figure in your partner app is low and you are depending on the PHG to come in by the end of the week. This is my personal opinion.

Will be happy to address any further questions you have on this.

Promotion that involves throwing prices is certainly not a good strategy.

I did try using GC for the first time during this RM1 promotion, but that's purely for the price, not going to use again after the promotion ends. Still prefer Uber.

it is called Data mining
for you its free ride.
for them its precious as they have your data in their system
plus, theyre trying to steal uber riders to convert to grab.

tbh, most riders (using card) prefers uber than grab.
as they say, uber partner mostly friendlier and professional rather than grab.

Question: No percentage? 100% online in Core Areas? If I pick up rider go to Non Core Area, then how?

6) uberX and uberXL fares both count towards the RM 600 threshold to qualify for top tier guarantee

7) Effective 7 March 2016 at midnight (00:00 Hrs) – this overrules all prior incentive announcements

Well telling everybody here, the promo is only for credit card users only. They want people who use gc to switch to credit card and not cash.

And thats why the credit card users are heavily using gc currently because of the promo. Just for u uber drivers fyi.

Please see the latest Hourly Guarantees Posted on April

Hourly Guarantees (April 2016)

If you pick up the customer from Core Service Area, you will meet the point number 3 ~ 5 requirement

If not mistaken, debit card also can.

Thanks for the latest GPH.

its subjective now.
depends on location.

like yesterday, i did 930pm-1230am
got bout 70rm (unplanned. suddenly feel bored and just drive)

got genting highland trip before? will you wait at genting highland or empty car back?

Agree on iOnine. The total gross fare is very subjective depends on luck.
Don't be so optimistic to get Rm70 for 3 hours as it not always can be achieved
