did uber scheduled rides for the first time ever. booked the ride for 30 mins before i needed it. quoted price was $22. i took screenshots just to make sure bc i wasnt sure if i'd get fucked in the ass with some kind of surge bullshit. sure enough, final price came out to $68. no prior notice of any surge, nor did i agree to any.

emailed uber support and rajeesh is incoherent and gave me a uber credit of 25% of the ride, and i'm still bitching to them.

also disputed the charges with amex.

this sounds like a good class action suit.

I thought that too, until they applied surge pricing to a ride post-facto, and said it was because I got off at a different location. What actually happened was the street near my office was congested, so I got out a block early.

They also sold subscriptions and guaranteed that as long as surge pricing didn't exceed $35 you would get a flat rate. As soon as I signed up, whaddya know, my regular $18 commute was suddenly $45.

To be fair, Uber still destroys taxis so clearly greed is better than stupidity.

one side of me thinks uber destroys taxis, but another side things the predatory fraudlies of "surge" pricing outweighs everything else that's bad about taxis.

i did a scheduled ride once, and pulled the same scam on me.

scheduling to get a particularly good price, or guaranteeing the car arrives right at a particular time are the only reasons i can see to use that feature. and it did neither.

i disputed, they refunded.

Update: won my dispute. I don't even know if uber contested it. Tried to use uber for the first time in a while yesterday, and it says I have an outstanding balance of $65 and it won't let me book new rides until I pay it. I guess they just saw the chargeback and put it back on my account. Fuck them. I'll just delete the app and never use it again and use PDDJ account until that one gets a charge back.

Pretty sure Uber doesn't have the resources to bother contesting. At most, they might just kick you off the service if you contest too many; easier for them to track and do.

Airbnb has FAR less transactional volume than Uber and MUCH higher per transaction $ amounts. They almost certainly have a business case to dispute at the per charge level versus just letting shit slide and then setting a threshold where they'll just identify you as an abuser and cancel your account.

i see what you're saying, but i was just giving one counterexample off the top of my head. some big companies contest the disputes and others dont and there isnt always rhyme or reason to it even though you've speculated a logical reason for it here. USPS 2x contested a $21 charge for me, and they're more akin to uber than airbnb in transactional volume and per transaction $ amounts. i've done a lot of disputes (trust me), and some companies just let shit slide and others fight it and i dont think there's always a way to put logic to it.

what's worst is when a company just doesnt fight the dispute and sends you to collections.
