5 Things To Do While Waiting for Uber's Grand Launch

Message 1 from Uber:
UBER: Hi <your name here>!
Thank you for submitting your TNVS application online. Your documents passed the initial review and we are currently in the process of obtaining your PAMI insurance coverage, after which we will be submitting your complete requirements to the LTFRB. Please be sure to check your e-mail regularly for further updates. Thank you and Uber On!

Message 2:
UBER Cebu: <your name here>, you have at least one vehicle with a full set of documents, which pre-qualifies you for the P3,000 promotional incentive if all docs are approved. Don't forget, to take your first trip, you must have submitted your PA requirements: t.uber.com/TNVSPASubmitCebu

Congratulations to all who received those messages through SMS from Uber Cebu. Finally, after a week-long preparation, your sacrifices paid off with the confirmation from Uber that your documents were complete and already ACCEPTED. So, in the meantime, sit back and relax while Uber is processing you Provisional Authority (PA) with LTFRB. Or if you are as excited as mine, read my tips below to make you more prepared when the battle begins.

1. Be familiar with your dashboard.

Are you a PARTNER-DRIVER or a PARTNER-OPERATOR? If you plan to hire driver/s, you should have a PARTNER-OPERATOR account. Otherwise, you will not be able to add drivers.

Do you know where to get your invite code? You should know as you will need it in spreading the word, while earning some incentives.

Lastly, don't mix up your email account password with your Uber account password. If they are not currently the same, I suggest you change it to be the same.


2. Start spreading the word.

What is your invite code? Start sharing it with your friends and family members as Uber is giving referral incentives. There are two ways to do this. One is by sharing your custom invite code. The other one is by sending your friends a referral link through their email addresses or phone numbers. You'll do this by going to the INVITES portion of your dashboard.




3. Create a RIDER account.

You got it. Not all the time you are a driver. There are times that you will wear the hat of a rider. So sign up NOW as a rider. If you use this link, you'll get ₱200 off your first ride. Note that you need a credit card for now. If you don't have, most debit cards work as well (my Unionbank debit card worked). Don't stop until you tried it.


4. Read/review the FAQ section of Uber Philippines website.

The FAQ section of Uber Philippines website is very informative. Find time to read it to have answers to your questions, or simply learn.


5. Don't forget to follow my blog.

Last, but not the least, follow my blog. I'll be posting updates here that you will not find anywhere else. I will also be posting a tips and tricks portion to guide you, my fellow partners/drivers in optimizing your Ubering.


There you have it. More tips and tricks for you if you keep on visiting my blog.
