Cherry pickers have better luck sadly :(

[@YourDriverMike]

I'm back to cherry picking while multi-apping it's working for me! I like DD but going for Platinum caused me to JUST have to do DD

[@Jdawg42069]

@@YourDriverMike & at that point you probably saw a considerable drop in your earnings !! I am a platinum Dasher in a very busy, Yet somehow oversaturated market. I’m struggling to even make 16 an hour.

[@TheClubbinator]

I’m platinum with 1770 deliveries and the only bonus that I can count on is being able to schedule Dashing anytime I want. Gold & Silver are restricted to what is available and for me that sucks extremely when it comes to Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays which are the best days to Dash. Furthermore, I do not do any shopping for DD.

[@isaacsiedentop2821]

That is a huge plus. I had been driving 15 miles into town and waiting for the map to turn red, then hoping I could get back in at the end. You really need a decent shift to make it worthwhile with how far out I am.

[@YourDriverMike]

Which market? Seems like a busy one

[@joust182]

Yea I love dash anytime, ease of mind not to have to schedule or stare at the screen waiting for and area to open up. I dont take many bad offers actually, but more average offers to keep ratings up. Plus I get those juicy catering offers sometimes $70+ that just make you happy :) In the 4 months this has been in my market I only dropped down from Platinum to Gold once for a couple hours when I had a big drop off in 100 in last 30 days down to 91.

[@RiVer-Parish]

You would be crazy to still be working for doordash nowadays

[@airdolphin]

In La it’s 80 percent acceptance 😫😫😫 for platinum

[@mikeduncan5932]

I've been platinum for a week now. I just ended my highest week of over $700 for the week. I've only been dashing for 3 weeks. Here, you have to maintain 75% acceptance. Crazy that different areas have different requirements.

[@YourDriverMike]

Nice job, how was the pay per mile for the $700?

[@samuelwilkinson6487]

You said it (three weeks)...your honeymoon phase is about to kick your teeth in :(

[@chrisbrookssr]

For me. Its easy to stay platinum when you get two or more l.o.p. orders a day. Just off of those. You hitting 50 to 150. Makes it easy to average 160 to 200 daily. 8am to 12pm then 5pm to 9pm. 💵💰💸

[@BostonTom]

I once had a $8+ order that ended up being $36

[@michaeldean2661]

Sometimes the night goes well and you don't have to decline much throughout the dash.

[@charlesclaridy8646]

Question: While the Platinum Driver is busy taking low pay orders with some times high miles, (which cherry pickers) decline; to maintain that platinum level, who is getting the high pay offers? Is DD going to let those high pay offers sit and get cold until a platinum driver is available? My son is platinum, I am not. We compare notes. The results are not that different. We multi app and I do not take anything less than $5. ON RARE occasion 4.25, 4.50, 4.75 if it's on a return to home with pick up nearby and drops off in the hot zone and is ready when I arrive. Not ready: gets cancelled.

[@fredorta9026]

70% AR is the bear minimum just because you have reached Platinum status that doesn't automatically guarantee you high banger offers. If there are other platinum Dashers with a higher AR I'm sure they will be getting first choice. I have found that the sweet spot for higher paying offers with good mileage is between 87% and 94%.

[@YourDriverMike]

We've never heard that officially though, do higher AR Platinum Dashers 'outrank' lower AR Platinum Dashers. I wouldn't think so necessarily, DD is still most likely using their base algorithm but it's all speculation since we don't have that access.

[@chrisbrookssr]

Ive tried this. And there is a difference. On average here you looking at 9 bucks 3 or less miles if your a.r is 80% or better

[@brokenscalez3446]

I did dd all summer was plat done over 700 orders (was miserable) I can honestly say it’s not worth it you can make double by multiapping during peak times and cherry picking

[@ChrisEpler]

Thought I recognized that tower, Wilmington area off 202...

[@GrymeTyme]

I could never do it. My acceptance rate on all apps sits around 20%

[@clzup6941]

Mine %10

[@YourDriverMike]

Currently at 12%

[@nala3038]

I’m at like -20 😂

[@brookecouffer6388]

I went from 81 to 73 tonight. I’m gold and I was picker than usual. I was able to make $25 a hour because they had $2 peak pay.

[@annstillwell730]

Mine is 3.

[@Garbzz]

Have you are anyone else actually kept track of your AR percentages? I feel like it rarely goes up when accepting and almost always goes down when declining, sometime it even goes down 2% from one decline... like what, how is a 2% drop from one decline even possible? I realize it's based on a rolling 100 orders but it just seems fishy to me.

[@YourDriverMike]

Yep! I have noticed the same thing and have read comments echoing this. I actually needed to hand document this though to really check

[@RickyDaniels-r3g]

I have the same issue. I will accept 3 in a row and my rating won’t budge,but let me decline ONE, it goes down 2%…… 🤦🏿‍♂️😡

[@jsmooth4699]

I put 25k miles on my car since May.

[@XrayKray]

I tried going platinum but I lost patience taking 2 dollar orders

[@BostonTom]

i am platinum right now i rarely see high paying offer in my market but i am in a rural area

[@HugoLopez-nm1qn]

I wonder what the net profit is after expenses

[@michaeldean2661]

It seems like most of high pay offers are smaller than regular offers. 😅

[@andresmontellano5078]

Some place of LA there at 80% not 70% it sucks balls.

[@mng519]

They sure send you A LOT of low paying offers for supposedly having priority for HIGH paying ones. UE on the other hand isn't too bad. It comes through for me when DD is dead.

[@YourDriverMike]

I was decently happy with Silver and Gold, the casual Dasher having to do the 100 in 30 days really limits multi-apping for the person that only has a few extra hours a week. Even the 50% AR is a tough ask though

[@DjOrbyter]

There's nothing special about platinum. i feel like that takes advantage of you with it with small orders

[@brandonstraczek3398]

It is in Vegas I get 20 catering s a week

[@ChrisEpler]

Screw these acceptance rate tier crap things. I'm not doing this to be a chained employee.

[@WaziM6]

The high paying order perk not even worth. The only good thing is dash now all the time.

[@whysoserious867]

It's not

[@wowdecember]

First day at DoorDash made $52 in 6 hours trash

[@celewis321]

No it isn't worth it in my market smh

[@YourDriverMike]

I hear you, which market?

[@celewis321]

@@YourDriverMike Tallahassee, FL

[@samuelwilkinson6487]

Yeah you don't gotta accept anything...be like me and just not do any ever again 🙂

[@Jim_Delivers]

Have to be smart selective on platinum. You get priority, but only if you're available when the good ones pop. I'm very selective during supper hours, rest of the time I'm accepting 1 plus

[@charlesclaridy8646]

Good point. It is not good for the AR to work when most offers are backwards or too low. It's like fishing; one has to be patient and throw away the shad. Making bank and gas is no trouble if one schedules and gets out there to fish for the orders.

[@YourDriverMike]

Thanks for sharing. Yes just thinking about all that effort to get Platinum just to be offered $4.25 for 1.1 miles
