So I have a bit of an issue. Around 2 weeks ago I took my first ever Uber trip.
The trip went well. Driver showed up, got to destination, no issues at all.
I gave the driver a 5 star review and gave him a small tip through the app.
Two days later I got an email from Uber saying they had adjusted the value of the trip to $0.91. Uber had given me a refund for the difference.
I immediately contacted Uber via the app, to question why a refund had been issued when I hadn't requested one. Got an auto response to say the trip had been refunded. Responded back to say I hadn't asked for refund and wanted to make sure driver got paid.
Got an email back from support asking for further details of the issues. Responded back but got auto email to say issue had been closed. Tried to call the phone number but it's only for diamond members so they hung up.
Questions:
- Why would they issue a refund if one hadn't requested one?
- How do I get the refund reversed?
- Will the driver get paid for the trip?
- Is there a way to call them if you're not a diamond member?
- Could this be some sort of new rider incentive that's just been poorly explained?
Could have been a new account introductory offer or some system glitch. It's not worth the hassle and headache, leave it and move on.
