Did you guys know that there is a limit as to how much a rider can tip?!
"Uber confirmed to CNET it does have a limit to safeguard against "fat fingers." You know the problem: You want to tip $10 but accidently type $100 or $1,000. This way, you won't have to go through the pain and hassle of getting your money back.
Uber's tipping limit is "200 percent of the total, up to $100," a company spokesman says. That lets a passenger, say, tip $50 on a $25 fare. "Of course, riders are free to tip additional amounts in cash if they'd like."

The biggest tip I ever received on the app was 15.00. The bigger tips I got 35.00, 40.00, and 101.00 were in cash.
You've actually gotten tips for 35, 40, ad 101? What were the circumstances? That's insane. $101? Who the heck are these people? was the ride $10,000?
Here I am conting the pennies on the tips I get. Maybe I am just not a great driver
The 101.00 was a short 7 min trip. I picked up husband and wife from bar they were feeling good but didnt seem trashed. I thought it was 2 1.00 bills. When I seen what it was after I pulled away I was shocked. Contacted Uber to reach the couple to make sure it wasn't a mistake. Never heard back. The 40.00 tip was a trip from Philly to NJ just outside of NY. Passenger was in from Ireland he was a steward on a plane visiting a shrine. Just a nice man, pleasant trip, good conversation. The 35.00 tip was from a waitress, another short 10 min trip had a good conversation. Played music she liked. I noticed trips with good conversation and good music make for best tips. Most trips I go out of my way for passengers not many tips. Trips with good conversation good music seem to bring the best tips, nothing special or extra.
Too much tipping. This is not a problem I've been exposed to. lol
Uber 666 and their riders are the tightest tightwads in existence ? Safeguard this !!!
