Found drivers to be outstanding but the Uber Company has poor (or no) customer service and is screwing at least one of their drivers.

I can't leave my driver a tip. I get an error message if I try. Also, Uber did not apply my Uber credit to my ride. No way to contact Uber to resolve so Uber is cheating their customer and their drivers.

Still cannot leave a tip. Please let our driver Steven know that it is Uber that is not allowing his tip and not me. I want to pay 20%. In fact, Uber should pay it for all this trouble, or at least advance it until the issue is resolved. Also, please stop thanking me for my understanding. I have no understanding or empathy for Uber Customer Service. It is the worst. I have no choices but do not take that for understanding. That just adds insult to injury. DO YOUR JOB. ACTUALLY PROVIDE CUSTOMER SUPPORT.

We appreciate your patience while we worked to resolve this issue. If you're still having trouble adding a tip in the app, follow these steps to see if they resolve the issue: 1. Make sure that you're using the most up-to-date iOS/OS version available for your device. 2. Check that you're using the most up-to-date app version for your device. 3. Force close the app. 4. Uninstall then reinstall the app. 5. Clear your device's app cache using the device's internal settings. 6. Check if you're trying to add a tip to a ride that is more than 30 days old. Out-of-date OS and app versions are a common cause of the issue you described. We've sent this directly via email as well as in-app. If you have additional questions, please let us know there.

The problem is that you are not working to resolve the issue but just blowing smoke. I have the same problem on the app on my Android phone and logging in to my account on my desktop. I loaded and installed the app a week ago. The ride was last Sat, May 21, 2022. You would have known most of this had you taken the time to read this thread or checked your system. Anyway, I did force stop, uninstall and reinstall the app, then tried the tip on the app and my account via the desktop login. Neither worked, Are you surprised? I tell you again, your system has a record screwed up because Steven's app went down and had to be rebooted two times just after we started the trip. Please assign this to someone who has the time and ability to resolve it. I think it is time to escalate the issue. Please do so. Also, HAVE YOU INFORMED STEVEN THAT HIS TIP IS COMING BUT NOT WITH HIM NOW BECAUSE UBER PREVENTS ME FROM GIVING IT?

Fine, I can wait. Please be sure to inform Steven that this technical issue is what prevents him from receiving his tip. Have you done that?

Have you informed Steven that he does not yet have a tip because Uber has yet to fix the Uber system problem that does not allow me to give him a tip?
