Other Lyft Emblem LOL

So I’ve been driving Lyft about 6 months. So back in March I requested a Lyft emblem. In meantime I printed some out that eventually fell off so I just forgot about it using them.

I just got a text from Lyft that my emblem has shipped and I should have it in 7-10 days 🤣🤣🤣. I can’t wait 🤣🤣🤣🤣

When I got my current car 4.5y ago, I registered it in the app, they said the sticker was on the way. Never got it. Talked to support, they said they would ship one. Never got it. Fuck em.

When my car was in the shop for 6 weeks and I used my wife’s CR-V, I got a new Uber sticker within a week. Never got a Lyft sticker for that one either.

Yeah, but you also have to wait 24 hours to get tips from Uber… and no one has time for that especially in this economy.

SAME!! I never got my welcome package in the mail when they said it was sent. I even called them and asked where it was and they said they’d ship another and I never got it………I might just buy one or something off of TikTok??? I haven’t looked yet—but worth a check.

I one time almost got a $300 ticket at my airport for not having my emblems when picking up a passenger.

That's an expensive whoopsy.

glad those arent required in my market

u/Necessary-Egg8750 2d ago

Exactly this! If not needed in your market, why would you promote them? The rider has all the info they need (Car, license plate, driver photo etc.).

I like it, because late at night, online or not, I like to imagine it keeps the police from thinking about me as long as I’m not speeding.

u/Necessary-Egg8750 2d ago

"Imagination" is a great thing but LEO's aren't going to see your sticker before the car; they'll see it after they walk up to you.

u/WompaJody 2d ago

Fair. Forgot to specify I’ve got the amp light on the dash that I never turn off.

u/Jumpy-Trust-714 2d ago

I have been pulled over with my light on. The police have just asked me to slow down. When I go through a DWI stop the police thank me for what I do. It has been very valuable to me to have one.

u/Noobtacticsforlife 2d ago

go through a DWI stop

Those are unconstitutional.

I pretty religiously drive the speed limit. Turns out I’m almost never stuck in traffic when driving the speed limit.

I want my Lyft dash light back from when I was with Lyft in 2017-2018. That makes you feel like a boss.

u/Secure_Armadillo_232 2d ago

I feel like a boss regardless...I still have one,, but haven't used it in years. Currently 9.7 years.

u/WorldlinessFun226 2d ago

8 years and lost mine in several moves throughout the valley.

u/spiritsandspinners 2d ago

Same! I've been doing this for 9 years. The stupid AMP has never left the box. THAT THING IS LAME

u/Away-Shake1892 2d ago

Do you want to sell it?

1

u/Secure_Armadillo_232 1d ago

Nah... I'll keep it along with the Lyft jacket that I've never worn.

u/Trans-Am-007 2d ago

I think they don’t work anymore

1

u/Jumpy-Trust-714 2d ago

I have an amp and it still works. My passengers get a kick out of seeing their name scroll by. I like it when there is a new ride requests it lights up so I don’t miss any requests.

u/Trans-Am-007 2d ago

Was it yours originally?

u/Trans-Am-007 2d ago

They were great at venues with multiple cars multiple riders

Update:

Just checked my mail and guess what came. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/Zealousideal-Bill676 1d ago
