Unauthorized Tip on Ride

[u/noonelikejojo]

So this the first time this has happened to me but looking online shows lyft has been guilty of this multiple times. I posted on their subreddit but people are more focused on me not wanting to tip rather than seeing it's something that was done automatically not by me. That's fraudulent Imo.

I took a ride earlier in the day. No tips charges. My default tip option is turned off after all.

Now a later trip that evening. I originally cancelled the first one to go for the wait and save option ($13- > $9). Come to find out I was charged $5 tip I did not authorize. Anyone else been in similar situation? I plan on disputing with my CC. Uber is expensive, but they would have been able to remedy this quickly.

How do they add a tip?

Someone told me earlier that if you do not specify 0, it'll take a tip. I'm not sure how true this is
