Grab trying to be smart ass here. They make things complicated for the average Joe, end up not many going to apply that promo code and might get frustrated instead. You also have to manually enter the code to apply it, making it clunky to use their app. Uber otherwise is just straight forward and feels comfortable using their app. If want to give promo, then just give it out. dont make it difficult for user to apply their code, chinaman mentality, want to give code but kiasu

Yeah, I compare fares every time i use a ride, and it is really clunky and takes more time to find the code in their notification, apply it then selecting it!

If you want to be able to get the promo code, its pretty simple.

Make sure your rating is high, to be safe, keep it above 4.5 because that is where I suppose ~10%-20% of Uber's passenger makes up 80% of the rides and revenue. Make sure your average cost per ride is >RM6 to get that RM6 coupon, and >RM10 to get that RM10 coupon. You get the idea.

These are some of the metrics their analyst and marketeers use when considering who to give out coupons.

Mind to share location where you experience long wait and high fare? This two usually correlates with each other highly. Even for Uber. But depends on location and time of day

Same question as previous user. Mind to share location and time you experience this?

I tot they just received another round of funding? no money ah?

No need to cuba? but why limit quantity to 60,000 redemption per day?

i tot no need to cuba... but limit 60k?

the logic holds true until grab/uber stops subsidizing your ride, and also that you dont utilize your car much and you are a single rider and not the owner of a 4 seater sedan.

what constitutes a properly utilized car? just refer to the warranty cover for maximum mileage within 3 or 5 years, depending on model and make. for example, Honda gives warranty up to 5 years or 100,000km. if you only able to cover 40,000km within 5 years, you are better off not buying the car and take public transport instead. different people, different preference bro.

taking public transportation makes sense for single traveller. owning a car makes more sense for a small family of 2 or more. a student owning a car just to go to school... makes no financial sense for owning a car. plus it also reduces the amount of loans they can borrow from the bank for property.
