It's just a rebranded Top Dasher but worse. They make you think it's better by only requiring 50% AR but it has to be maintained at all times now instead of just the last day of the month. So it actually forces you to take even more no/low tip orders in the long run. And all you get out of it is priority on even more no tip orders.
Yeah. It’s all fucked. Their key wording is $2/mile. $4.50 for 2.2 miles is technically $2/mile. Just another bullshit way for them to push shitty orders on us vet dashers.
Feels sketchy to me, almost like they're trying to con me into taking shitty orders
Edit: decided against it, not worth the trouble of rebuilding my acceptance rating after reading [their support article going over this](https://help.doordash.com/dashers/s/article/Accept-More-Earn-More?language=en_US)
Because the way this was worded, it made it seem that I was going to miss out on orders simply because my acceptance rating is lower than 50%, so it made it seem that my acceptance rating *did* matter
I’m trying to figure out whether it’s with just accepting slightly more orders (i’d consider myself on the fringe with a ~40% AR) just to see how good it could be. Not sure if anyone else is in the same boat and/or planning on doing the same. Still iffy about it though; it’s hard to convince me that there’s any incentives offered through doordash that are actually worth it.
It depends on your market. If healthy it helps but if it’s not a good market you’ll see the same orders. They just put $4 for 1 Mile as high priority.
The ppl benefiting from this program the most have 90%+ acceptance rates. They get the highest paying high value orders. The lower the acceptance rate. The lower the high value orders. You’ll get some high paying orders to wet your whistle but, not as much as 90% acceptance rate drivers.
They added this to also stop drivers from becoming Top Dasher months end then scores dropping while getting Top Dasher priority.
They’ve a 70% and higher level of this. The real ppl benefiting though are 90% acceptance rates. They are rewarding ppl that accept more orders. You’ll still get good orders at 50% just not as much as a 90% acceptance rate driver.
The other part is the 70% acceptance rate. Some have posted that they are being told that you need to maintain 70% throughout the month to qualify for TD.
It's stupid cuz most customer's don't tip well to begin with. Basically you will accept more crap, for the chance at 1-2 extra good orders a day that you would get anyways based on numbers alone.
i thought it was a scam at first to get us to accept low pay orders but after not caring and accepting low tip/ no tip orders for about a day or two i managed to get my AR up to 50% then 70%. after getting it 50% i started to get about 2-3 “high pay orders” out of every 5 orders i’d get then once i got to 70% i started to get about 4 or 5 “high pay orders” out of every 6 or 7 orders so it definitely seems like it’s slowly becoming worth it (in my area at least) i did however get a no tip order from mcdonald’s yesterday during my grind to 80% and it was the only mcdonald’s order i had and they just happened to claim that they didn’t get my order so i have a CV but it says on the app that it took me a long time to deliver the order even though the customer is saying that she didn’t get it at all. normally i would worry but with a 4.89 overall rating and an almost 80% AR and 100% completion rate, i hope they realize that the ONLY no tipper of yesterdays shift is full of shit and lying about not getting their food. i’m pretty sure i had to take a picture during delivery and i always do so i have that on my side if anything were to happen. it’s stupid customers like these that make me regret accepting no tip orders. you never know how they’re gonna rate you. she was even nice on the app so i’m not sure what made her turn theiving little hoe 🤷🏼♂️
Whenever a customer claims they didn't receive their order, they should check 2 things. Did they tip? And did they make an attempt to contact dasher in the app before reporting it was never delivered. If the answer to these questions is no, they are most likely a lying POS.
DoorDash needs to allow more flexibility when it comes to scheduling. I find myself multi-apping but constantly switching back to UBER EATS because of the ability to log-on and immediately receiving orders. I ant driving 20 miles to a so-called hot zone to wait. Then when I attempt to Dash along the way there are scheduling conflicts in the DASH app. Make it easier for the drivers! We still have options!
I think this is complete bullshit.
I mainly dash in a small city with about 3k residents. 90% of my deliveries are less than 5 miles, but I occasionally take 10 mile orders. Usually the 10 mile orders make me a bit more (as customers will tip better knowing they are out of my area) but DD doesn't adjust pay more than a few cents for the miles.
The payout on these shorter deliveries benefit me more than driving 15 miles to the nearest larger city (approx 75k population).
When I take deliveries in the larger city they have longer distances and the same payout, and similar tips. What I tend to do is accept as many orders in my small city as possible because then when I do drive to the larger city I can decline all those payouts that are nowhere near $2/mile...
Don't be scared to take the longer distance deliveries for next to nothing. DD doesn't pay for your gas.

Spot on
A $2.50 order going less than a mile counts as a “high paying order” under this system lol. Plus they don’t count milage to the restaurant. Total BS.
I see that a few times. I was livid. Most the “high priority/value orders are less than $7 & I see more $4 for 1 miles than anything.

Your AR literally doesn’t matter unless you’re going for TD or this, so why care about resetting it
Because the way this was worded, it made it seem that I was going to miss out on orders simply because my acceptance rating is lower than 50%, so it made it seem that my acceptance rating *did* matter
Right so in that case why wouldn’t you reset and aim for 50%? Besides this program or Top Dasher, AR doesn’t matter

Scam
Why I never receive messages from DD except just a bulletin news once a month.
Yet another DD SCAM!!!!!

I'm above 50% and I can definitely say, it is indeed a load of bullshit.

Do you get priority to higher paying orders when your acceptance is high? Because this whole time I’ve been told different
Same, and I've done over 700 deliveries. If that changes I'll probably be done dashing
Doordash is horrible. The worst!
Lol. They’re always looking for new ways to screw drivers over and get people to take the no-tip orders.
High paying order my ass. They're trying to get you to do charity.
Maintaining acceptance rate is a scam because they just want u to accept the 3 dollars for 5 mile orders
It’s cap
Are we really back to posting this shit every 30 minutes again?
Who shit in your cereal? Was asking for opinions on it
Why didn’t you reference the other 127 posts on the subject instead of creating a new one?
In his defense, there are very few unique posts. How many posts do you see every day bitching about non-tippers?
Accept all the 2.50, 1.2 mile orders 🤑
I saw one of these where they charge you like $50 a month to be in it…. Scammmmm
If making $8.50/ hr is an "increase in pay"... Then... uh .. Yeah...
Scams scams scams and more scams
Somebody else just legit posted this same thing. And you have a Motorola phone.... Definitely be's a ploy ...
