The pay is low and the app drains my battery like a sieve. Last place agreed.

[coreybarnes]

I do not accept deliveries where I have to pay with card, and alcohol deliveries where I have to scan or manually enter customers identification. I also only deliver when they have the 2 or 3 dollar bonuses. The pay is so low, I don't think a tarantula would work for them 👀

[ReyesTheEntrepreneur]

just found your channel. Love the knowledge you share. Messaged you on IG on a potential collaboration if you're down.

Totally! I’m about to hit 1K deliveries on postmates, and RARELY do I see a bonus for being in a hotspot. With that being said, I have been making some good money doing deliveries.

Postmates will always be the last resort

Mike, you had me dying in this video. I did Postmates before becoming a Top Dasher in San Diego. Post mates would offer $3 $4 orders. Very frustrating. I will never go back to Postmates. I don’t care what offers they put out. Instead offering bonuses, put the miles on the screen. Good video

Thank you for the info!! Let me summarize it, POSTMATES SUCKS!! Worst app I’ve used! They play you! I will never use them again. I stick to DoorDash! I had such a bad experience with Postmates yesterday! No information on anything!!

[edwincruz]

I wish other apps would hire me, Postmates sucks. I got an email from Grubhub asking if I’m still interested in working for them, hopefully that leads somewhere better

I just started driving for Uber eats but not through the Uber eats at through the Uber driver app and it never shows me any hotspots I have to look at Postmates or other apps to find hotspots is that normal how do you see Uber eats hotspots on the Uber driver app

I am forever grateful to Postmates for allowing me to do my first gig job upon losing my job due to Covid, and I did make decent money (hustle like a MF), but when I started trying other platforms such as UberEats, I saw the difference right away in terms of clientele and how much you gotta hustle. In terms of hustling Postmates do work you like a dog for every penny.

Been driving for Postmates for about two months now. I live in a largely populated area and hotspots are mandatory if I want receive orders. I rarely pick up orders if I am out of the hotspot.

By the way Mike, for a trip down memory lane, my very first Uber shift was under 80/20, watching surge in Highland Park area, and stopping at Baum Blvd. Get Go. Ahh, the good old days. 😊

Postmates is the most predatory of all the apps--they exploit their drivers the worst.
However, Doordash isn't much better.
Last Saturday my city was so busy during lunch, they were paying a $2.00 bonus.
Problem is, there are so many Doordash drivers right now, it's unbelievable. So, even though it gets busy, the market is over saturated with drivers, so yo wait twenty minutes until you get an offer.

Then they will throw out a low ball offer of $3.00, and if you skip it, you wait forever for another offer.

I hate Doordash with a passion. I even hate the cheap little bag they give you that fades and falls apart.

You would think you could order a new one, but they are a cheap company that has made their CEO a billionaire.

U would think PM would have learned by now that drivers want to see their distance traveled!! Get with the times PM!!!

[fruityjeezus]

I did Postmates back about a month ago and said try it out to see if things got any better and it's still the same

[trancer]

The Door Dash hot spots in my area are fixed. Never change, even when nothing is happening in those areas. So I've found my own. But at least you do know when bonuses are being applied. No Postmates up here.

[JenniferLaVine]

Postmates is definitely last in my app list

[dstrappazon]

Well Uber just bought post mates about a week ago so maybe this will all be changing, who knows....
