Uber Eats Pro is a reward program with a tiered status system for Uber Eats delivery partners.
About Uber Eats Pro
To incentivize the job of delivery partners, Uber rolled out the Uber Eats Pro rewards program. It is a tiered rewards system that offers new rewards as the driver reaches a higher status (Gold, Platinum, and Diamond). To upgrade to a higher status level, the drivers need to earn points with each delivery and maintain a satisfaction rating of 85% or higher.
How does the reward program work?
For delivery partners to claim rewards, they must collect points in a tiered system. Currently, there are three tiers — Gold, Platinum, and Diamond
The points system resets after each calendar month and you get to earn points during one-month periods which determine your standing in the upcoming month. You can immediately begin enjoying your new benefits after you have earned enough credits to unlock the next tier of rewards.
The scheme follows a proper points break-up which awards one point for every completed delivery. However, you can earn up to six points for making deliveries depending on the time of delivery. For instance, you get two points for a delivery made during the lunch hours (12 pm to 2 pm). Similarly, you can earn six points for making a delivery between 5 pm and 9 pm (referred to as dinner hours).
