I’ve had this strange bug happen when I’ve taken an Uber ride a few times now. Â I get home. Â Open my phone. Â And I see $0.00 on my screen.
Later, I get emailed a receipt for $0.00. Â The receipt does not show any credit getting me a free ride (and I don’t really have any referrals), so the $0.00 is confusing each time.
Then many hours later, I get another receipt telling me how much my ride really ways.
For example, my ride home yesterday first came up as this:
Then at 4am I received this receipt:
I knew something was wrong with the first, because Uber shows discounts this way:
I’m not complaining.  I didn’t earn the free trips so it didn’t surprise me that they are later charging me.  But I don’t understand why this is happening and I bet it could be really confusing to some people if they don’t realize they are actually getting charged.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Uber also has a habit of not honoring “free ride” promos 🙂 That’s why I switched to Curb.
I have not noticed this, but I have noticed that when a trip is ended, the app does not go to the trip transaction close out & rating screen right away. Sometimes it takes a period of time for the close & rate trip screen to appear.
