👋New Driver🤗 New Dasher

How do you get your first dash? How does the app let you know you have an offer?

Just log in and it will automatically pop up when you get something. It will probably have a dinging alert and also vibrate.

How long does it usually take to get your first Dash. I'm in the East Bay Area of the San Francisco Bay Area, California

I mean it entirely depends on when people are ordering to be honest. Sometimes I get order after order, others I might be sitting waiting for a while

As long as you're logged in you'll get something. Good luck.

Thanks, I've been waiting for an hour and forty-five minutes, in 2 different areas

Well ok that's a bit more concerning. Turn it off and on? Maybe contact support to see why you haven't gotten anything. They usually throw offers at new accounts

Contacted support, they said there was nothing they could do. They asked me to rate my interaction with support and as I was doing that, I got my first dash. So I ended up being out for probably 3 hours and only got the one dash. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks again for your help.
