This is also not the target market for lyft or doordash, or for the CSR. It's the target market for public transportation, Safeway, and the Amex Everyday. On the other hand if I go out to eat with 4 people from work, at least 3 of them pull out the CSR at the end.

First, how large is this targeted demographic? Then out of this demographic, how many of them would want to spend this much time to work on points and miles? Some, but not a lot, if you get a tech genius or a young banker who earn $200,000 each year, he/she probably would not care about the $60 benefit.
That's not true. They may not care in a "life or death" kind of way, but everyone likes a good deal. I certainly do. (Not that $200k is really that much in SF or Manhattan... $70k in taxes; $50k in rent... it goes fast)
