Thanks for letting me know. I have already included a direct link to the new terms in the top of the post.
THIS IS DEAD. As of 3pm EST today, February 27th, the terms have changed (fewer cities qualify and now you have to complete 30 rides). Check the Lyft promotion website.
Thanks. I have updated the post with a link to the new terms.
The punks, I signed up at 3:04pm… at that time, the terms (I took a couple screenshots) had narrowed the cities and extended the date, but had not yet added the 30 ride requirement. So we’ll see, maybe a few more of us got in.
Since Frequent Miler is not an online employment agency, is the idea here to sign-up, give someone a ride and then quit for the thousand bucks? I guess they’d issue a 1099.
Yes they do issue 1099s to their drivers.
