When you dash by time, does it count "dash along the way?" And do the promos of either area apply then?

What’s wrong with the hood
I been doing EBT just to get my acceptance rate up. I dont really like it for the fact that they are always high miles, sometimes even takes you out of the zone...so many wasted miles back to zone. Also its super rare to get a tip and most of the time the no tippers have thr most demands....also get rated low stars for no reason...was 5.0 before starting EBT with over 1000 deliveries and now at 4.95. It just ticks me off the non tippers are getting the food delivered for low cost to them but high cost to us.
I have noticed it all depends on the zone, and time of day. My husband does better in his zone (more residential), evening time going per offer. I work a different Zone (industrial, commercial) early morning breakfast/coffee rush, and do better on hourly, most of my orders have tips.

Earn by time is usually $13.75 hr in my zone, hubby said his is $12.50 hr.
I’ve been only doing pay by order and havent been making as much as I want might try pay by time
I primarily dash in a suburb of Wichita KS and our hourly pay is 10.50 or 11.50 an hour, though they don’t consider the extra dollar as peak pay. It just depends on the day what they’re offering. I have never seen peak pay on earn by time. Lately, I’ve been working towards getting my gold and platinum rewards just to see if it’s worth it. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with EBT. I’m making over $20 an hour which means I’m still getting decent tips. Idk that I could have a wild hour and make 30-40 an hour on EBT like you might on Pay per order, but it has been fairly consistent.
DoorDash sends me to the same Safeway so many times that I really know where the items are. My last shop & delivery was for sugar free cookies for the same customer I deliver to every week. I know it so well that I did the order in 1 minute according to the timer.

At 11:00 when you talk about the $ / mile, I'm curious if the mileage you are using in the calculation is the sum of the mileage on each offer, or is it the total miles from a mileage tracker from the start of your dash to the end that would include driving in between orders (like returning back to an area). In my area it is rare to get another order near / soon after dropping off one, you almost always have to come all the way back to the power strip which doubles the miles from what the app shows on the offer.
Mike Help,,I have three areas.. one is Fox Chapel, the other is Freeport Rd., Harmarville, and the other one is North Hills McKnight Rd. area,, OK, here’s the question. I see that I can pick Fox Chapel area in my settings and then the only other one that I can pick is North Pittsburgh area which one is covering the Harmarville area off of the Halton Bridge. ?
I'm CA, there is a law that requires DD to pay a minimum hourly for active time. In my area it is $18 and uber pays $2 over minimum wage which is $16.00 in CA right now. My market does not have an "earn by time" as a separate option. I usually get an extra bump each week because earn by order doesn't generally yield that great of results.
I saw a video of yours years ago and you should realize by now you make waaay more than most dashers across the country. I tried following your suggestions early on and they dont work even when visiting cities with 150k people or the 10k people where I live..
$25 an hour, wow!!! That's awesome, I wish

I was pretty surprised on that hourly peak pay PLUS the increased base pay per hour as well. Pretty rare but I'll take it!
I’ve found that earn by time is a lot less stress. I drive slower and don’t mind when there is a wait. Also, it helps keep my acceptance rate up and the pay is very close. The only issue is I feel like I put on about 25% more miles on my car
I did earn by time the other night and got $20 in tips over 5 orders. I’ve only dashed one day so far so it’s hard to say if I had a lucky day. I’m also in Pittsburgh - Munhall.
You have to consider the cash value of mileage write off at the end of the year as well less per mile also means less taxable income
The only thing I find bad about working for time is that you are forced to accept almost all orders and when it is by order you have the possibility of declining bad orders and accepting the one with the best payment and that gives you more control of the offers you want to accept, good video Mark

What is a good pay by offer average hour pay. In my city I make like 18 on a good hour. Trying to see if that’s good or not ?
$13.25 here in suburban Detroit, but the zone just north of me (also suburban Detroit) is $17, but many more apartments.
$14.50 per hour. Bloomington, IL. Very few peak pay times.
Harrisburg, Pa averages 10.25 per hour. I have platinum and earn per hour is 10.25 or 10.50 depending on when you dash
I’ve been getting where I’m the third person to pick up the order and I had to contact support to get half pay.
I can make 1300 consistently no matter what a week on earn by time
Is earn by time in every city now? I don’t see it on my tabs
I'm a new dasher. My on time/early rate is 81% and most of my orders have been delivered early. Only 1 was late and that was burger kings fault. So why is my rate 81%???

Not as good to be honest, maybe $1.10 per mile. I average about $1.40-1.50per mile on per order. Population is about 140,000 in city and a few adjacent small cities we have. I drive a prius so I get 55 mpg plus get the 67 cents per mile write off. I never dashed when I myself lived in San Diego. So I'm sure per mile would be higher there as well as Pittsburgh. here.

Yesterday was start of holiday weekend I wish I had watched this before going out yesterday bc I’m thinking I needed by time for active hourly pay vs per offer on busy weekends plus the rain and delays at restaurants 😢 I decided to not go out this morning bc estimated make 50-60 over 4 hours not knowing what I was going deliver knowing it was 20-30 worth gas. So I’m doing research so I’m ready rest holiday week with a plan for travel and restaurants delays. Per pay was 7-8 hr which less than min wage job. I was curious how same runs would compared per time bc of travel weather and restaurants delays plus peak pay promo. One offer only 4.80 I declined some DD and Uber eats because I’d drop off location took me away from my preferred area or gas station

Similar to what I saw. Yes more per hour but less per mile (more driving) on EBT with less frequent and smaller tips. Makes me think exactly like Amazon Flex, guaranteed pay but no control over route/mileage and no tips on Flex warehouse runs.
But it's less peak pay offers and majority of time earn by time is not even active to use. Or they do $14.25 in Erie.
No dasher preferences in my market. I really hope when it does arrive I can exclude the military base.
I live 5 miles away from a Pizza place one direction…and 8 miles away from the other hot spot which is taco bell and McDonalds….I never get orders anymore doing earn by time I think because they know Its because Its a long drive but im in a rural area so probably just going to give up on doordash after a year tho i dont want to

makes it tough, you as a dasher have to accept all offers until you reach whatever your goal is. example.... if your goal is platinum it is 100 completed dashes, that is whenever you can get on the schedule, i know this for a fact for i was a Platinum, however i had to take some time off 36 days to be exact, My ratings were AR @ 98%, CR @ 100%, CusR 4.87, OT/E 92%, 1481 LTD's and zero deliveries last 30 days when i started dashing again, i was demoted to gold only because of my high ratings!!! if i followed the multi-apping cherry pickers advice i could be as low as a silver which we have seen is tough to get the higher paying offers. You as a dasher have no choice but to bite the bullet, schedule whatever you can that fits your schedule and accept all offers no matter what. The ability to schedule out a week in advance, use that to your advantage, schedule ASAP when slots become available and check it constantly cause ya never know when a time slot that may not fit your entire time of availability but can get ya more dashing time!! BTW i started dashing again 7/18 i have increased my LTD's by 62 as of 7/24, so only 38 more to go and i will be back at platinum level and most importantly.... back to having dash anytime status, which maybe discounted by some dashers but is actually a great benefit say ya have an extra hour or two before your normal scheduled time, Bingo, as a platinum you can jump in early or say you had plans not to dash but whatever reason you find that you can dash anytime to the rescue AND yes as a platinum i always schedule ASAP

$25 an hour is insane. $11.25 here right now, but most times it's like $10.25 per hour. Its just not worth it here. Your lucky if you get any peak pay at all and its usually just a dollar..

My market is usually $11.25-$12.50. I actually love EBT. I can make $20-$30 hr. When I do per offer, I get mostly junk even as a platinum with 85%. Money is money. Why does it matter if it comes from tip or DD? The orders I get, 93% I would normally take anyway, so it’s like a built in bonus. Ex. I had an order that would’ve only been $10.00 per offer, but EBT was $16.54. I don’t like that I have to maintain 70% daily. I had to do a 180 day on my perspective.
