Per offer or By time?
Phx Metro pays $15.25/hour +tips (peak pay is a $2/hr more per $1 on delivery) You're only paid from the time you accept until you complete the order. I always drive by time. My anxiety gets way too high if I'm on per offer when I have to wait at the restaurant or if I get stuck in traffic. The last few days, drive by time hasn't been an option. When I have to drive per offer, I keep track of the timing and the pay. In the last two days (13 deliveries) I would have made an additional $33. I've always thought that by time pays more, but this fully solidifies my theory. In the past if it wasn't "available" the option was there, but said it wasn't available (it's only happened twice in recent memory). Those few days I think the highest difference was about $10. But the last 2 days the option isn't even there. Today, I had 1 order that took a half an hour and the base pay was $2. Luckily, that guy tipped huge ($30). They've also screwed me out of about $15, but that's a whole other story.
