Deliberately Ordering Food When a Restaurant Is Rushed to Get The $5 Late Delivery Voucher from Uber Eats

So I did the Hungry Jacks offer last night and it arrived late because the driver was at the store for like 40 minutes waiting and got a $5 voucher. I thought about letting it ride and ordering the same time today but I got hungry and ordered earlier and it didn't arrive late. Just wondering if it is possible to strategically place your order at a certain time at a certain store to keep getting the $5 voucher..

    If you Google the specific restaurant it will show a graph of popular times and a live feed of how busy it is currently. You could use that to your advantage.

    I wonder how much this driver got paid for that delivery. Surprised they didn't just bail!

    In my area, I find any order during peak times in my area is guaranteed to be late. I've had 3 or 4 credits over the past few months. Personally, i'd prefer to get the food on time.

    Chances are they were running another delivery for a different service.

    You know what, I never get that $5 voucher, for some reason they just never give it to me even when all the conditions are met.

      Are you actively applying for it? They don't give it out automatically anymore.

      • Or advertise it. I've never had an uber eats delivery on time.

      • I make a dispute, and they just give me inane response that makes no sense.

        • Weird. Did you go direct to live chat? From memory when I last did it, I just had to select the late delivery option from the help menu and it just handed me the credit.

    Sounds like a good way to get a $̶5̶ ̶v̶o̶u̶c̶h̶e̶r̶ cold burger

      $5 isn't enough compensation for expensive cold soggy burgers.

  • Why stop there, turn up the heat by taking a photo of intentionally ripped bags, missing items and spilt food to get a refund and sorry credit.

    Spend ~$30 to purposely receive a cold whopper cheese meal in order to receive a $5 voucher. That math ain’t mathing

      With the offer it's ~$15, so with the $5 voucher it's $10.

    go to the restuarant you want to order from. before you place the order. make a massive order in store (like for 55 burgers, 55 chips, 55 drinks, 55 ice cream cones)

    get 5 dollar voucher

    freeeee moneyyyyy

  • So this is what they do for fun over there when the churches close…

    Go get yourself a salad and give yourself an uppercut - in no particular order.

    i feel like getting fast food like hungry jacks delivered whilst the delivery driver gets $2 is the pinnacle of "start again"

    Or be that guy back in November who i felt was deliberately doing this to get free maccas meal.

  • because the driver was at the store for like 40 minutes waiting

    That sounds like your order had somehow fallen through the crack. Have you ever seen a HJ/ Maccas/ KFC so busy that you'd have to wait 40 mins for your food?
