3. Program Tiers and Rewards

3.1 How is your Program Tier determined?

(a) There are 4 Program Tiers available to Program Members: Blue, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Program Tiers unlock access to Rewards. Each successive Program Tier includes its own Rewards as well as the Rewards of the preceding Program Tiers.

(b) The Points you earn in one Program Period will determine your starting Program Tier in the next Program Period. Program Tiers are not permanent and must be earned for every Program Period.

(c) The number of Points necessary to reach each Program Tier may vary by city. See the “Uber Pro” section of your Uber Driver App for the applicable Points thresholds for the Gold, Platinum and Diamond Program Tiers for your city. Driver Partners who do not meet the requirements for Gold, Platinum, or Diamond Program Tiers are placed into the Blue Program Tier.

(d) There are no additional requirements for the Blue Program Tier other than as set out under Section 2.1 (“Eligibility”). To obtain Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Program Tiers, in addition to the required number of Points for your Participating Location, you must also have, at the beginning of the Program Period:

(i) at least a 4.85 Driver Rating; and

(ii) no greater than a 3% Cancellation Rate,

(collectively, the Quality Standards). To maintain Gold, Platinum or Diamond Program Tier status during the entire applicable Program Period, you must maintain the Quality Standards at all times during that Program Period.

(e) As soon as you earn the number of required Points for a Program Tier and meet the Quality Standards, you will automatically be moved to the applicable Program Tier.

(f) If you are moved to the next Program Tier during any Program Period, you will hold that Program Tier level for the remainder of the applicable Program Period and for the duration of the next Program Period, provided that you continue to meet the applicable requirements for that Program Tier.

(g) If you do not meet the Quality Standards during a Program Period you will:

(i) lose your current Program Tier status and access to the corresponding Rewards; and

(ii) be moved down to the Blue Tier.

(h) Once you achieve a Program Tier level, all Rewards should be available for you to access within 48 hours. You may be required to exit the Uber Driver App, go offline and then come back online again in order to access the specific Rewards. Uber will use reasonable efforts to ensure Rewards reflect your status, however, there may be a delay beyond 48 hours if there is a system outage or other technical issue. In this case, Uber will use reasonable endeavours to resolve the issue as soon as practicable following any such outage.

3.4 Points balances

(a) You can view your current Points balance within the “Uber Pro” section of your Uber Driver App. Points earned will usually be shown in your Program Account straight after your trip.
